Projects The Cincinnati Kid build thread!! 1930 roadster

OK OK it has been awhile. i dont want you fellas thinking im not doing anything. So, ill make a post.

I got my '33 '34 commercial headlights. So i made the mounts out of a junk model A headlight bar And some custom made feet. A little torch action and done. I acually saw someone on this site use a set of big bolts to help align the headlight mounts so i tried it too. and it works great.

Also got the steering done. Bent the steering arms down as low as i could get them. and got a new "vega box"/bracket/pitman arm and used two '40 ford drag links for my draglink and steering link. The tierod ends are original '40 ford and are treaded 11/16-18 left handed and right handed. So i cut the right handed side to the correct length and tapped it (with probubly the hardest to find tap in the world - 11/16-18 ($33 Bucks from MSC)) Had to bend my pitman arm just a hair to make it all align nicely and done.

So i tink now im going to tear it all apart do som painting and then brakes and get the motor running and put it back together......B-VILLE here i come!!!!!!!!!

Stay tuned!!
