Great stuff, I am making the "mini double Beverly shears" today. I see a propane torch on the bench up there- what for? I have heard about using...
I just moved to St Louis too, half done moving my workshop up there. First day, 67 Pontiac Bonneville's mellow rumble woke me up, neighbor had a...
The nicest stocker was the Mormon-Herrington 4WD 40 Ford wagon that showed up at P***le B***h years ago... they're all beautiful but any pre-war...
I would like to see how others have made adjustable fences for the small eastwood-type bead rollers- tired of c-clamps and angle iron. Thanks!
Very nice frame, takes a deal of patience, skill, and metal working knowledge to make the basis of your car to be so very fine. Those are hard...
I live two towns over, and I assure you, that car ain't from here.
yes indeed- the work and expense making those, which shared your skills which are hard-earned, should be paid for.
Any build that lists Harry A. Miller as an influence has my attention.
Is that a babbit main motor?
Oh man, the black 53 with Moon discs...
Old Moto Guzzi wheels are nice to have, back against the wall.

Curvey, heavy, cast aluminum headers for flatheads that clear the steering box on the common A and 32 frame applications, there'd be a market.
Those pictures of the car on the sand, with the driver's old helmet, made me think, "The car Pete Millar would have liked to have driven and...
Go back to the first entry on this build and say "He's going to put black laquer on this???" I'm impressed.
Still learning from this excellent thread, keep us up dated, please.
My "fort" was a flipped over 40's Mack 5 ton dump truck, kept my fishing gear there too. And next to it was "8 Ball", a white 37 Chevy jalopy race...
You might look at the vintage rally car suppliers... Hope you show some photos when it's done. Falcons are kool.
Well, you could find me a restorable GAZ 72 4WD station wagon...
Back From the Dead! I like your car a lot, thank you.
As was suggested above, airplanes still use those. I know Aircraft Spruce sold them a few years ago, and other suppliers do also.
