Technical What did you do today?

You guys talk like a hole saw cuts exactly to size marked; I have never found one that does, always over by some I generally just finish up with a file or a scrapper..I have been known to squeeze a saw in a vise to make oval shapped which will cut a larger hole in thin material.

 

Wife and I are finishing up front clip install on a black 40 std coupe-very close-just a bit of adjustments and trim install left to do.

 

Exactly. That’s why I’m going with a nominal 2” hole. Don’t mind hand finishing the cut, so it doesn’t go too big.

I'd love to have this wagon

 

Yes, lots of oil, and my drill press speed is too fast, also, which is just another reason I've got a dull 2-1/16" saw now. I like the shallowness of that carbide version. Post updates when you complete your hole punching.

 

Dropped my headlight bar,
80mm, or 3&1/8” approximately.
We were happpy with it for a first attempt, and never having done anything like this before.

 

Continue preparing my 32 for the 425 Buick.
Cut off most of an old motor mount, sliced the firewall for recessing engine, and repaired the transmission vacuum line I accidentally damaged during the first test fit.

Painting interior parts for the 37 Chevy p/u.

 

We have a 450 ft deep well. with a submersible pump. and it wasn't building but 20 psi. So I knew there was a leak in the stand pipe. So today my wife Debbie and I. fixed the leak. We hooked the electric winch on my wrecker to the well pipe. and I had placed a large rear tractor rim next to the well casing. Debbie operated the winch and I made certain the head pipe didn't kink or catch on anything. There was more well pipe than winch cable. So we leap frogged it until we found the split about halfway down. Cut out the bad part and recoupled it back together. And we just in the last hour got it all back together and its working as its supposed to. I hate working on the pump. But I hate paying other folks more. My wife stated your almost 70 pretty soon you might not be able to do this kinda stuff . I didn't say anything .

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ We're blessed with the World's Best Son In Law who changed out our septic pump last year.

Dug my Expedition out of three foot of snow and got it to the street after letting it run for an hour to get the half inch of ice off it so I can take my seven year old grandson to school tomorrow. New snow piled up another 2 feet on my south side of the property last night and filled all the walkways level, I'm to old to be walking through 3 to 4 feet of snow.
I finally got the truck out on the street and the boy came out and we went for a drive to see all the snow. About this time I get a call telling me there's no school tomorrow.....oh well

 

Cut the rear window back out because I didn't like where the previous owner had it.

Fabricated metal floor pans and repaired a deuce horn.

 

I'm the odd ball. When the car work gets tedious I like to build something else for a diversion. Last year I restored this Mitsubishi Scooter and this year I'm building a locomotive switcher engine and work caboose. Keeps my creative juices going. At 80 I need all the boost I can get

 

Took the Salt Shaker to it resting spot.

 

So far today I found three things I misplaced over the last two weeks while I was finishing up my T5 trans cradle to go on my wrk support stand and tightening the belt on new compressor build..Whew! Taking small break..

 

Shop around.

Just a quick search on-line turned up prices ranging from $190 (not a typo) to $22 for that saw. I have the $22 one on order now (Amazon).

Very nice!

 

Plowed snow. Finally made it out to the road. Most snow in central Oregon in Feb. in 118 years. Lucky me.

 

Glad you enjoyed, Lord knows I did.

 

Needed an overflow tank for my 31 Ford flattie roadster so I grabbed this can from the recycle bin. Bead blasted the silk screened stuff off the outside of it then buffed it up a bit and took a shot at a little free hand engine turning. I think it came out ok for what I need it to do.

 

More painting of interior panels.

 

Wired the dash back up and got rid of all the hillbilly riging and now windshield works as it should.

 

Spent the last couple days raising the deck 1 1/2" on the trailer I haul the hot rod on. I was sick of not being able to open the door after loading the Stude. Bought the studebaker script 4 or 5 yrs ago at the Lonestar Roundup, then promptly misplaced it. Found it the other night, went straight to the garage and put it on the tail board like I intended 5 yrs ago.

 

Put a little dye on the seat. Matches the car so much better now. Well I think so.

 

I waited for the delivery of my Panel Truck. Yes, I know the wheels and tires don't belong on this forum. I'm gon'na fix that.
No registration or plates yet but I'm gated so my streets are privately owned and I can drive it around and harass the neighbors. As expected, I have a lot of little things to tweak and fix more better
