What are you guys doing today Car related

I took 3 different tachometers and set all of them up to fit in Sun NC-1 cups (that none of them were supposed to go in). After I got through making tab A fit slot B for all of them, I made 3 wiring harnesses for them. One of the tachs is a SST 801 (10,000 RPM) for my old Anglia project, one is a SST 802 R (new 8000 RPM) for my 55 Chevy project and one is a Classic Instruments Mooneyes for my 56 Ford pickup project. The Anglia tach and the pickup tach are now waiting on their housings to get back from Houston Speed & Sport with fresh chrome. The one for the 55 is ready to install.
If you don't know what's special about the NC-1's, you might not have been around in the 60's. But I'm still wondering if you can be Obsessive/Compulsive and have ADD at the same time. LOL

Interesting thread. Today I'm pulling off the duct tape I used to repair my race car at the track last weekend so I could drive it home. Gotta love that stuff.

 

Did Donut Derlicts at 5 to 7:30,then came back to find out what was wrong with my brother in laws 50 Ford Flathead V8, found a dead cylinder,now looking for an engine builder that is a Flathead Specialist. If you know one please reply to the thread I started on here,thanks.

 

working to pay for parts

 

Drove the '49 out to La Cresenta to the Early Rodders meet. I hadn't been in years. Too many newer cars like an Audi R8, Mercedes AMG, Ferrarri, etc.....Last time I'll go out there. Drove home and stopped by the Caffine Cruisers. Picked up the wife and went to breakfast, then attended the Hawthorne Teen Challenge Car Show. Same story, "Donks" and new Camaros, Vettes, Mustangs, etc......(sigh)

 

Finished this today.

 

its 109 and raining,so Im in the house wasting time and waiting for my 3rd member to show up for my 56,then I gotta finish cleaning the rearend and reinstall that and the new springs in the chevy.............

 

Extending Lola's butt by 6". No really! I'm lengthening the rear of my '51 Hudson (Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets!). Trying to improve on the curvature of the back of the car.
Peace,

running down a 'no right brake light' wiring problem on the '27 - bulbs are good, just have to fiddle with wires connections. Had to knock off at noon - temp was 105° and the swamp cooler just can't keep up. Hit it again at 0400 mañana.

welded my rad mounts on. Bolted homemade headlight brackets to it and mounted and wired up headlights.

 

Chris at Taylor Engines in Whittier.

 

i put a knock sensor and an O2 sensor in a 94 z28, and hooked my laptop up and reset the codes. also charged the AC up on it, then went and did burnouts with it.

 

Cleaned up set of 12" rotors/spindles my buddy gave me of a buick hearse. SCORE!!!

 

my dad and me worked on the brakes and tires and taillights and on his 56 gmc pickup.thanks

 

went to goodguys in columbus. more cars this year than in recent years. even the spectator parking was jammed. also seemed to be more vendors too. overall, good day.

 

Big car chore day-

1) installed sign at Taylor Engines, cause Chris is cool and he needed a sign.

2) Picked up my old dead 327 at Limeworks and brought it back to Chris at Taylor's cause he offered to tear it down and tell me if is junk.

3) Rolled over to pick up my buddy Doug's (Denny Crane on the HAMB) 1950 Merc. 1/4 panels. Man are they nice!


Tomorrow I'm off to the LB swap to try to sell my 1950 Ford Convertable.

 

Unloaded this...
Special thanks to slddnmatt: one of most talented builders I have met, he created this. And thanks to racinman on the HAMB here; he delivered goods at the time and price he promised. -chopnweld

 

Woke up my 60 Caddy after two years rest(preceded by a 20 year hibernation) Remote gas can, hot battery--cranked right up Put 'er on the lift, dropped the gas tank, dumped about 10 gallons of 20+ yr old gas...stinky, but not gelled or gooey.....Straightened said tank(looked like somebody jacked the car up from the rear dead-center) Started with changing the wheels(wires with MichelinX pinner 3/8 whitewalls )...two of the damn wheels are small GM pattern...got on the 'bay and ordered adapters and called it a day.

 

Trying my hand at some lace panel painting in the garage. We'll see how it comes out.

 

fbama73, I have a set of '54 Chevy lower a A arms if they will fit your ride drop me PM and I'll make you a good deal on them. I'm in Indys north side.

 

right on man!
i might be intrested in those small gm wires

i got the inner quater panels fabbed and welded in place on the 60 wagon today.

 

Assembled another BMW Isetta motor for a guy bringing me his extra project car to trade next week. Good thing these are 1 cyl so I can build one a day. Now if I could only get to assemble that V8 for my car thats been sitting on the floor for the last year..

 

I've been trying to figure out why my brake lights no longer work but can't seem to spend more than 5 minutes at a time on it. I keep getting interrupted by the kids or something. One dog worked her way under the deck and killed a muskrat so I had to get her and the dead rodent out, I really didn't want that thing stinking up my backyard as it decomposed. Not to be out done, the other dog manages to get out the front door and sprint away, so I spent 45 minutes trying to get him back home. Huskies can be an adventure.

 

My friend and I assembled the bottom end of my engine!!

 

I got the trailer ready so I can go in the morning and pick up the Wifes '55 Handyman, finally!

 

Put dual intake/ exhaust on my '48 flathead. 2 Carter-Weber 2bbls. Haven't decided on the exhaust yet. Got 'till Monday when the shop opens.

 

Pulled the carpet up from the passenger side of the DD, 'cause the darn A/C condensate hose fell off somewhere and all the water has been draining under the carpet instead of out on the ground. Smells good, too!

 

Got the wifes 72 Monte Carlo ready for a car show tomorrow......

 

New thermostat, new battery [6 volt], new quick battery disconnect whatchamajiggers.

Rags is now both hot and cool.

 

How about some pictures???
