Old, old post, but I *finally* got my answer. The book was "The Little Car that Wanted a Garage" by Catherine Woolley. I got a vintage copy on...
Ha! I had a very similar problem with mine at first (maybe for the first year). I didn't realize that mine was in *grinder* mode. I realized it...
$500-600 bucks gets you a good MIG. Get a good auto-darkening mask. Get some scrap to practice on. It's pretty fun to learn. Kind of...
Get it driveable. Then drive it. Have fun.
Wow! These are great!
Like that clip from Spinal Tap. " and ' are pretty different
Sorry I missed it. How many days was it up? Any more pictures? Hope you got a great price for it.
Such nice detail despite being so small. Smaller than the 1/64 scale Hot-Wheels cars.
Happy to see this. Disney has always been a first class act and you've taken it to an even higher level with amazing attention to detail. Nice...
I almost forgot, but, with about an hour left, I also grabbed my welding helmet so the kids and my wife (and the neighbors) could see.
RIP, Mr. Jenkins.
For tech information, I seem to remember a ~1978 (summer months?) issue of Car Craft with a big spread on Chevy II and Nova and describing a BBC...
Pretty cool design, and even more useful in the colder climates. Heavy metals would have been my concern. Come cleaning time for the vaporizer...
In grad school the engine lab class room had a small-block Chevy with Powerglide done in a very similar way -- nice paint, clean cuts, and few...
I welded once without a shirt on in my late teens. Thought I was pretty tough, braving all the sparks. Being fair-skinned, I got a "sun" burn...
I saw this and thought, "Wow, how can anyone save that," but you're making it look easy. The project is focused. The shop is so clean....
Congrats! And thanks for all of the hard work! This community you have built is a breath of fresh air and a strong dose of hard metal...
Car was sold a couple of years ago. I was moving (actually moved twice) and it was too hard to move. And name '29MurrayTub was changed to real name.
I saw it a week or two ago and really liked it. It appeals to the same part of my head that the HAMB does -- the part that likes awesome,...
I was at home and under the weather. It was a great way to pass the time reading through this excellent thread. Great vision, execution, and...
But isn't that part of the rush and excitement, being close to an engine potentially grenading? I suppose if you have enough $$$, you can get...
Nice metal work. I like the artistry of the designs as well. Your design and execution are excellent!
Do I see a dark ring inside your left rear tire? Tires rubbing at all on suspension or inner fender parts?
Yup, like he said. Sign supply is probably best. But if you want it cheap and DIY... If you had an old alternator that would be a source of...
Pretty cool stuff. Subscribed.
3w.
Sounds like a cool guy. I was surprised there wasn't yet a bio for a pioneer like him in Wikipedia.
How would the tail lights from that '63 work in the new rear -- maybe too big? Cool jet aircraft nozzel shape, though.
Brilliant! Spare front fenders offer a whole new dimension to rearend styling. Subscribed!
The cover of HRM, early 70s -- maybe 1971. It was a Mustang funny car. I think it was called the Sidewinder. Ford SOCH transverse mounted. By...
