Damn fine trucks. I made a stainless windshield for this one. It has a nice dressed up flathead and is used all the time. Need to contact the...
The reality of longer power cuts, with no one to fix them, could well be the future we have to look forward to here. On the strength of that, I...
Please tell that to the industry morons here in N.Z. No respect left for people who use their hands and brains. But not taking anything away...
Sorry, was not referring specifically to Rolling Bones, but more to cars in general with poor geometry. Physics and geometry are hard to argue...
Back in the 70's, I was a toolmaker at an assembly plant here in N.Z. When they were reaching the end of a model run, they would sometimes be...
Having spent some time ironing out bump steer and death wobble issues on other people's builds, I discovered many things. One of those was that...
Hi Bob. I make new stainless windshields for these. Also new bonnet hinges, which are unique to 39 pickups. But I am in New Zealand. PM me if...
I recently moved from my premises of 43 years, into a much larger workshop. I vowed to get rid of the junk during the move. And I began building...
Been messing around with this. It's an air box/filter housing to channel cold air from behind the grille, thru the inner fender, to 235 turbo...
Just letting you all know, this epidemic has spread far and wide. We are terminally affected.
It was a ton of work to make those manifolds. The collector on top of the carb is two small frypans welded rim to rim. The wastegate has a self...
Here's mine. T3 dedicated propane. Blow thru Impco 225 . Self made manifolds. Still under construction so no idea how it will run. Just wanted to...
I am still driving my 1982 c10 which I've had for 27 trouble fee years. In 700,000 miles, I've seen many new computerised wonders broken on the...
All it does is replicate the ignition system in the vehicle. So it has a degree wheel which is made from a circle of aluminium plate with 360...
Distributor machine
Reciprocating hammer
I make stainless bumpers with this.
Not sure if this applies to any of you. But my hearing has deteriorated with age. A couple of years ago, I could hear this god awful clatter...
It happened. Eventually!! Also a pic of the stainless windshield I made for it.
Neat looking truck. Have just finished a 1/2 ton pickup for a client, and wish it was mine!
Fortunateson is right. A large soldering iron will direct the heat where you want it. Unlike a propane flame which is more spread out.
Have only ever used either Vernier, Dial, or for more precision, Micrometer. For 50 years. Anything electronic can lie to you and you wont know...
In a pinch, you can re -use the old crush sleeve. But first, you need to stretch it out to its former length. Do that by shoving a piece of round...
Starter motor jammed in a Willys Jeep way out in the boonies. Jeep stuck in the mud sort of so could not rock it loose. Had to unbolt from bell...
I the 60's my dad had a Dodge Kingsway Deluxe. Very similar to your Plymouth but different trim, I think. It was factory RHD. The story that came...
Any one have pics of Fenton 235 valve cover? Thanks in advance.
I am working with a Kiwi guy in Bakersfield to try and land these things at a reasonable cost. Fingers crossed!! Will hopefully post an add in the...
Sorry, I do not do those models. I focused on 37-39 because it seems no one else does them.
