Hot Rods Pecks RPU project

Rustoleum Hammered Finish, like on mailboxes, and toolboxes. I’ve used it on several parts like backing plates and gage cluster, hides imperfections.

Refreshing to see someone actually building something..

 

Lookin good...the air cleaner is way cool. Old oil bath from a 57 chevy?

 

Actually 55 265.

 

The old fill a pilot bushing with bread and beat a stick into trick.

 

Didn’t know bread would work. Lots cleaner than grease.

 

Yes sir, I read about the bread a couple years back , here on the HAMB.

 

Man you make me wan to get off my ass and get to work on something I went to the shop and they were working late model stuff so I building a shop at my house where I wont have to leave the farm Next for me is my 29 on 32 rail roadster . Yours is looking good !!

Yes sir, it is.

 

Was good day at Belton Tx swapmeet today. I needed that single groove 283 pulley.

 

Blasted and painted manifolds this morning with RUST-O-LEUM BBQ Paint.

 

Looking real fine for a "backyard" build.

 

Painted radiator today , disappointed that radiator isn’t as wide as grill shell opening . Cheap ass China shit.

 

So I’m building steering column out of a junk 49 Ford $5 swap meet score, and 3/4 bar stock. A lawnmower bearing , and a piece of brass for a lower bushing.

 

Machined to 5/8 course threads, then tapered to match 39 Banjo wheel.

 

Milled 3/16 key way . My bud Jeff Arnett did the threads, taper, and key way.

 

Brass bushing will be at bottom of column.

 

Lawnmower bearing I read about here on the HAMB a couple weeks ago.

 

$10 Swap Meet steering column drop. Unknown manufacturer.

 

WELL DONE IN ALL ASPECTS OF THIS BUILD.
