Ian, I really can't wait to see what you wind up with. If it had to go to anyone (and it HAD TO GO), I'm glad it could go to you. Cheers, bro. (By...
Ryan, if you and Joyo had as much fun as the rest of us did, then mission accomplished. It was a blast, and I know I'm not the only one that...
Yeah, because I'm all about the rat rods.
First three things you need to do: 1. TITLE THE CAR, DAMMIT. 2. Join the Alliance. 3. Contact Vaphead, and look at his website. Buy stuff from...
Aha!!! So this is why you were asking about my superchargers!!! :D:D:D
C'mon, bro!! Air that fucker up!! Happy to help, as always. You did all the hard stuff, though. :D:D
Here it is, for those that can't get there from here: <object width="425" height="344"> <embed...
Mid Fifty F100 sells them in steel for $195. It's a stock reproduction without the cutouts for the frame horns if that's what you're after....
Does it look like this? [IMG]
Happy to help. :D:D

Why not Panhead powered? Be REALLY different!! :D:D:D
Protective sleeves usually coupled with a long sleeve T shirt for TIG, and a suede jacket for MIG.
Thanks greasemunkey!! A perfect set of pictures to answer the question. I haven't touched it. I've had a lot of other stuff going on for the past...
Not horribly unusual, but these velocity stack tops were made mostly on my manual lathe. The only thing that I used my milling machine for was the...
Interesting point. I would assume that the line manufacturers are using a more flexible alloy of stainless, but an interesting point nonetheless....
Stainless seems like a good idea. I like the idea of not having to worry about it much, even in dry SoCal. I just had a regular steel...
Thanks, Mark!! The plan is to get the brakes sorted, make sure the steering and front suspension is OK for the time being (just needs to make it...
Thanks JeffB2 and greasemunkey!! When my ex wife bought this car in '02 or '03 (it's all a blur), I replaced all the lines with stainless from...
Thanks, HRP!! It just seems kind of unnatural, you know? The line is just sort of shoved in between the body and frame at the front and the rear....
Brake lines: Does the REALLY long, front-to-rear line mount on the inside or the outside of the frame rails? It would appear that it's meant to...
I use my lathe way more than my Bridgeport. Don't get me wrong, milling machines are very handy to have, but if had to get one or the other, it...
1952 Ford Customline two door sedan. Got it for free when my ex wife split (she'd lost interest in it), so that was an added bonus. :D:D:D
Note the name tag: "Lucky". Trust me when I say that Lucky isn't a midget.
$164.78 :d:d
Sure!! It's easy until *I* get involved. :D:D
"Clown clothes"!!! I love that!!!
I probably already have the aluminum, but if I don't, IMS is just a hop, skip, and a jump away. If you can't find what you need...
Make your own. Use my lathe. See you Saturday, then? :D:D:D
Simple: I have more than I need, but less than I want. '31 Ford coupe (a mess of a project) '52 Ford Customline sedan (freebie project) '56...
