Any of you clowns actually BUILDING something???

I haven't done much, since my ass is in a different gear, damn, I hate when that happens.

 

I will soon be all over this, like white on rice.

 

Here's a couple of pics, some mock-up stuff. Prior to the 4" Dago drop tube install. We cheated & poor boy'd it by removing half the springs in the pack.

 

Nice work, Chopped. Like that shoebox.

 

Here's some pics of my '41 Pickup

 

I finally got a roof in my supercab F-1 that won't oilcan. I used the raised section off of an extra hood for the center section on the roof.

 

Just trying to find time to get back to work on it. I've got new heat/AC unit, insulation and shaved handle electrical pieces sitting in the car.

 

49 Sled working on it for maybe 10 yaers now

 

40 ford cab narrowed 4", top chop 4", channeled 7".

I put my body back on for the last fit and trim before taking it back off for paint.

 

Against my better judgment I put the Chrysler up for sale to finance my other cars. Somebody please buy it so I can get some more parts and start working on my T again!

 

Today after work I punched some holes in the visor

How'd you do it? What tool(s). Lookin' good!

 

i tore off the front sheet metal on my shoebox... first step to mustang II.. then air ride!

 

no, but it sure looks fun!

First I put a strip of 2 inch masking tape down the center , layed out my pattern. Once I got one I was happy with I started in with the drill working my way up to a 3/8 , thats the pilot size i needed for a 7/8 greenlee punch, 7/8 its the pilot size I needed for a 2,1/2 greenlee punch. the puch is basically a punch and die with a bolt in it that puches metal as you tighten the bolt. they are kinda pricey , but I borrowed mine. Eastwood has some that are similar. Sorry for not takin more pics, but I had just picked up my kid and I was tryin to get it done while he was doin his homework, it took about 40 mins to punch em with the impact wrench

 

Put in a new subframe of 1" box tubing. Cut and bolted in 2 sections of 1/2" expanded steel sheet for a floorpan (I love that you can see the ground flying by underneath you), and painted a barber pole stripe on the driveshaft since you can watch it spin now.

 

Thank you - I'm hopeful I can find someone locally that will allow me to borrow some punches.

 

i sent my motorcycle out for paint, then drank 18 beers. oh ya, i bbqd some deer steaks too.

 

jspencer916----were you up at burger king a few weeks ago???

 

Yep, I brought the wife and kids in my wife's 66 Pickup and I brought the '29. We make it out there once or twice a month. I like that it is extremely casual. Did you have a car down there?

 

I live a couple of blocks away --I usually do a drive by

Maybe... Some of you may have seen this before in previous posts,57 Fairlane Show Car from Midwest area thru the 60's.57 Desoto front bumper & headlight.Lowered,shaved,rounded trunk & hood.Serious Kustom.Posted this when I got it in Nov.of last year.I will be doing an update next week with lots of pictures.

 

I had hand surgery last week, so I've been pretty useless. Started going stir crazy thsi week, so I bought some of those disposable blue rubber shop gloves at Autozone and covered the bum hand and did a little light wrenching with the good hand. The stitches come out Monday and the hand should be back at full strength in another week or two. I'm 90% complete on my 302 HO build and will get back on that next week.
