Canton scrap meet? You arent talking First Monday, are you?

 

Everything is coming together.

 

Week after usually. Auto swapmeet.

 

Didnt know anything about it. Regular thing?

 

Cool. I'm hoping to make that if it isnt pouring down rain.

 

Passenger side brakes done, driver side tomorrow . 40 Ford wheels are semi-gloss all ready , I’m gonna scuff and paint gloss , then mount the tires . I’ll be up on all fours in less than 6 months.

 

I’m diggin it man, I look forward to seeing that pickup together!

 

D.Lee donated a set 4.50 16s and a set of 6.50 16s so I could get up on all fours

 

Doing a nice job working in outdoors conditions.

 

Rear , top shock bosses welded in today and holes drilled. Will be using the ends I cut off rear bones for bottom mounts.

 

Looking good!

 

Great thread. Fun to watch your progress. Real hot rodding .

 

Lower shock mounts made from the ends of rear wishbones I cut off. I copied the way Rusty did on the Arnett V8 Roadster build.

 

Panhard bar installed.

 

CHINA BILL (Speedway Motors) Vega steering box mounting kit, is not a kit at all. It’s just a suggestion of a kit that you have to machine a component to make this work. And I heated up the Pitman Arm and put in press and flattened. Also took the burring tool and machined the pitman arm so I can run Ford tie rod end from the top.

 

Vega box mounted.

 

Will contact RJAYS SPEED SHOP tomorrow to have a drag link built. I bought motor mounts from him at PATE SWAP MEET.
