Projects The hopeful beginning of it all (starting a speed equipment brand and land speed racing)

Just finished a new product!
Some 2" lowering shackles!
These are the easiest way to lower your early Ford! Cnc machined with great precision out of high grade steel, and made right here in the USA!
Holes are .430" square, and 3.125" apart.

New lemans style gas caps are coming soon!

 

Your on ta somethin here! Bad Ass...

 

I'm new to the HAMB and just found your posts and I'm impressed. I'd like to see your pickup sometime, I'm just east of Fairhaven.

 

Do you have a red 1938 with a nicely dressed flatty? I believe I've seen it around?

 

That would be me.

 

Recently been working on some small gauge clusters

 

I like those! Maybe make a three and possibly four gauge , optional? That looks like a start to dash panel, too!? Excellent work!

Flathead 37 --

Hate to "pile on", but more importantly than your posts here, you should spell check the word "pursue" on your website home page introduction.

Nitpicking aside, I am extremely impressed with your ambition, goals and passion (and envious of your youth!). Wish you the best!

I note that you intend to have the capability of making castings. Do you intend to make custom one-off products, to designs by customers? Or machine raw castings provided by customers? E,g., I sometimes need an engine/transmission adapter, which are not commercially available for an odd-ball combination.

 

Thanks for the advice and motivation. I currently am not offering any one off manufacturing, but it may work it's way into the future. Thanks

 

Would you be making these for single gauges?

I plan on making a wide array of gauge panels with this styling based upon people's request. If enough people request it, I will make it.
Thanks for your input!

 

I have three cast aluminum Y-type twin carb adapters similar to this. Thought some day I'd put them on a flathead with a three carb manifold ("Tri-Y-Power"), just for its whimsical effect. (Would blank off three or four of the carbs.) I don't know who marketed these; don't recall any name on them. Would check to see, if I could remember where I put them.

 

Just did something exciting today! Should be arriving in my shop and making hotrod parts soon!

 

Oh oh,,,I know what that is,,,,,it’s a pretty good piece of machinery.
Will help on your productivity.

I wish you luck. Parts are tough business.

 

The new work horse has arrived! Should be making hot rod parts soon!

 

Did you get any tooling vouchers when you bought the machine? Only asking because I work for a tooling company that starts with a K

Very exciting! I suppose tomorrow you'll order up a phase converter?

What are you going to make first with it?

 

Made some tags for a new product coming soon, as well as started machining the first single carb finned air cleaner.

 

WOW! Great looking products. I really hope you are successful.
It may be me but, I can't make out the first letter of you LOGO you placed
on the cap shown above.

 

Thanks, the plaque is going to be refined. The first letter is an N

 

OK, Thanks. Now crank up you new machine and get going. Good luck. JIM

 

Hey folks!
This is a little project I dreamt up last Thursday and started prototyping. It is a simple vintage style fuse box for early fords/hotrods/ect... basically you have four fuses directly off the battery, and four fuses powered off the ignition. The final product's deco styled enclosure will be like this, but will be made of a smooth bakelite like resin. It will utilize eight glass agc fuses. This prototype is still under partial completion, but I thought I would take a moment to gather any thoughts, comments, or intrest from you guys. What do you think?

 

Made a little progress on the finned air cleaner. Have yet to make the bottom portion to attach to the carb.

 

I think the fusebox cover would look better with your logo in the cover, instead of sticking out. I like the air cleaner, keep posting.

 

Gas cap production is certainly tedious, but satisfying.

 

Looks good! Have you determined what type of connectors the fuse panel will accomodate? Screw on ring/spade or push on? Or a combination?

 

Finned and smooth gas caps will be available again tomorrow.

 

I recently have made a few more gas caps available. I started to send them out to a professional polisher who does a killer job on them! I also am near completion of my first run of gas pedal assemblies.
