Just amazing work! I had a Dave Gingery charcoal foundry years ago that produced a lot of really cool stuff, but it pales in comparison to your...
That is really cool! Would be even cooler if it's still around.
My Dad used to have a '61 Biscayne when I was a little kid. The floorboards rusted away to nothing, so he installed some plywood as he was afraid...
I'm especially glad that you found another quarter panel - nice score!
Someone down the road from me is building a HUGE 30x50 shop w/12' ceiling and a three bedroom house on top. Both my house (20x40) and garage...
Used to know a guy who had some old Model T tools in their wood cases. Wish I had pictures of them, they were really neat!
I'm in the process of running 220v in my garage. Didn't trust the $10 outlets from the big box stores, so I spent $75 on a commercial grade Made...
I used to get the deposed foreign dignitary emails claiming that they will deposit a few million dollars into my account. I used to respond...
Although there were a number of issues with FLW designs, I really enjoy his architectural details, particularly his use of stained glass. The Art...
Cool! Taught my son how to drive a stick in my old OT Saturn years ago; he even took his drivers test in it and passed the first time out. The...
Scary stuff! Years ago my son and I saw a '32 Ford that was cobbled together (to put it nicely): lots of really crappy welding (holes, slag,...
That looks good, hope you can find a matching quarter panel! Maybe also carry that rib feature into the door and raise the quarter panel and...
I've had projects that I have redone a few times over the years as my skills and knowledge improved. I teach a metal lathe class at Port City...
Hopefully you won't be stalled for too long with this one. Some of the late '30s cars never looked right as a fenderless hotrod (to me, anyway)...
I recall Bruce Crower was doing something similar with a SBC some years ago; made pretty good power, but I don't think it got beyond the...
This is really neat! Looking forward to following this project!
There's a girl in my fifth grade class in 1977 that I would love to see again...and hopefully prevent her (along with her two brothers and sister)...
Don't forget the police car John Hillinger's character drove in "Paper Moon"!
Some of my favorite magazines have fallen by the wayside over the last ten years or so. The late, great MAD Magazine didn't even have...
There's an ACE Hardware store a couple towns over from me; I don't get over that way very often, but I like to stop in when I do. Been in the...
We were in the fifth grade at the time; she died in a house fire with two brothers and a sister. If I could have just one wish...
Could someone drop me off in 1977? There's a girl I would like to see again.
[ATTACH] Looks like a late 1930's Ford grille, not sure what the rest of it is, but it's really cool! Any guesses besides Dodge?
Horsepower: A little is good, more is better, and too much is just right.
Backstories are always the best part of a find; I'd like to hear the details too!
Really cool that you got it back! I like the overall proportions and minimalist execution; the original version was really cool, but I really...
[ATTACH] Walter Baker with his Baker Electric Torpedo Kid in 1903.
Some really cool outside-the-box thinking at Bonneville. I have a lot of admiration and respect for the racers who dream up stuff like this!
Seen it done, but never tried it myself. I've also seen aluminum MIG welded; kind of messy, but it did the job. We're gearing up to do 3D metal...
I like that one; it has nice proportions.
Separate names with a comma.
