Projects Pat pryor's <handmade> 32 roadster build

Pat, why don't you get in touch with Mel and see if you can work out a deal for some space in that Army Base he's got a line on and get out of the weather.

 

yea ill have to ask. i may have a little spot till the end of winter for now have to go look this week.

 

go and pick up a bullet heater and big car tent for both it would run you 300 bucks and it will last forever ...

Mystery project must be about restoring German helmets! (video).

Didn't get to see how you made the '32 radiator shell. (??).

Good talent work!----Close---But no cigar.

 

na i bought the rad shell.

 

"Close---But no cigar" What are you trying to say here. I suspect you feel pretty good now after taking some cheap shots at the kid and his work.
If you read the thread it mentions on the first page he got the radiator shell from someone.

 

i think the guy is a little upset i never bought his measurements. no biggie it dont bother me. but thanks.

 

I just thought of a great name for your business Pat!
PRYOR MACHINE
HOT RODS AND WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION

 

Looks good

 

great project, those drawings are fantastic too I've saved them for the future

 

so when is the work going to start again on this thing? or will u dump it to build the tank?

 

Yea... What he said

 

That thing ain't gonna build itself f*ck stick!!!! Bonneville 2012 is going to be here before we know it.

 

leave me alone!!!!

 

Brian I think you mean 2014 if we are all still here haha

 

by the way this is some moral support from your fellow Lopers haha

 

re-enact much?

 

dose anyone know the mesuremens of the bead rolls in the 32 rear floor like how thick of a bead , the spaceing between the beads, and the size of the x rolls?

 

ok getting back into the swing. so befor i start going crazy on making body panels i started making a deep throat shrinker strecher. here it is so far should be good to go in about a week or two 18X24 ID. then the plan is to knock out the subrails,floor, cowl doors quaters, trunk lid and then tiedy it up. im shooting for mid summer having all the panels done.

 

good start, is that 1/2 steel?

 

yep 1/2 i like to keep it lite

 

Nice work Kid! Keep it up.

 

A deep-throat shrinker needs to have an especially stiff frame. The frame you have laid out will have a lot of flex in it. You have way more vertical height than necessary; shortening it up to 1/3-1/2 of what you currently have will greatly help the stiffness. Beefing up the spine would also be highly recommended.

 

thanks

 

yea i see what your saying. i dont think it should efect it , a shrinker strecher has what like 150 to 200 pounds of pressure?its based off a c clamp which is designed to take pressure like that and its 1/2'' steel im sure i wont run into any problems. but if it would be a press then that would be a different story. and its deep because i dont know what kinda projects ill come up with in the future. im hoping one day to build a airplane but who knows. but thanks for the input.

 

I cant see any pictures on this thread. what happened?

 

UPDATE!

I should be moving into a shop with in the next week or two so some cool shit may start happing on this thread soon maybe...

 

my build may of borke your computer sorry..
