How my dumbass managed to do that is beyond me. Thanks for helping me straighen it out.
I went through and fixed them since the whole Photofuckup fiasco. They show for me, you can't see them?
It's been a while. Fuel tank mount [ATTACH] Pedal mount mocked [ATTACH] Seat pedestal 20220825_223019_02.jpg [ATTACH] Seat and column position...
I've been working on the coupe off and on, getting close to being far enough along to pull the body and getting everything final welded and...
No, I've been working on my coupe hoping it will move under it's own power soon. I need to post an update over there.
So are the heads
I found indoor storage for my roadrace car so garage space was available to start on my Willys. First order of business was pressure washing...
Time for a long overdue update. The 1/4s are pretty much cut and spliced and tacked in. [ATTACH][ATTACH] Motor mounts finished [ATTACH] I found...
Both 1/4s are chopped and tacked together, other than that nothing new. Life is in the way at the moment.
Sort of. A lot going on with other things at the moment. I did come to my senses and decide the flathead belongs in the Ford coupe, not the Willys...
I don't have enough going on, may as well start gathering parts for a landspeed car [ATTACH][ATTACH]
After getting a trunk lid that hadn't been structurally compromised I found the rear quarter panels were nowhere near square to the frame. I...
No, just agreed to a deal and then ghosted me. Sent from my Pixel 2 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
No longer needed, seller vanished.
West Coast bump
That would have been awesome, only a 5hr round trip from there. This year has really sucked from an event point of view.
Thanks!
I need a pair of 40 Ford coupe trunk lids brought to Cincinnati. Anyone retuning from Bonneville headed here or close by?
The fenders are just sitting on there right now. I may need to massage them a bit, I won't know for sure until I can bolt them on. Worst case...
I got enough body mounts fabbed today to eliminate the post supporting the body, so I rolled it outside for a few pics. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
I never would have thought it would be such a fucking pain in the ass to put a Ford motor in my Ford. I had to switch to a rear sump oil pan and...
It took every blade for every cutting tool I own but it's finally channelled. The body is sitting on a brace tacked to the bottom of the frame so...
Well it's 3/4 of a roller since FedEx can't get a wheel from Nevada to Ohio in less than 8 fucking days. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] With that...
The block I have is early, no dipstick hole in the block. The early rear sump kits run $250. The body is a shell on a cart at the moment, it's...
Has anyone run a 302 in a 35-40 Ford and used a front sump pan? It looks like it would only need to be set back about 5-6".
Some wrong parts and a change of plans later and I almost have a roller. I decided to go with TCI parallel leaf springs instead of the transverse...
I'm only working 3 days a week now so I'm trying to make good use of it, getting as much done as possible. Frame boxed, top seams welded and...
Getting a little bit done. I ended up having to sandblast the frame rails. I didn't count on the ridiculously high evaporation rate of EvapoRust....
I have an OT car that I've owned 20yrs I took the time to get running and driving and can't really talk about here. I had problems with the 40...
Big week for me this week. I jumped through all the hoops and doubled the value of my coupe. [ATTACH] I also started an engine swap at work on one...
