Pulled from '41 Ford, I split them and cut the spring perches off. Ready for weld-bungs at the rear. These were bent at some point, presumably...
Sheesh. It's been 10 months since I posted here. I seem to recall promising weekly updates at one point. I suck. In my defense, I bought an...
Haha. Thanks. Don't know about "sure", but I've got the "slow" part down.
Do it, we'll be here. It would be good to see you, and I've never seen your '46.
Ha. That's what I'm counting on. Thanks for the encouragement.
I also finally settled on an intake. Call me un-original, but after poring over late-50's/early 60's Hot Rod mags I found that damn near everyone...
Wow, it's been three months since I posted an update. But I have a good excuse... In December our second daughter was born. If I look proud and...
Get better Larry, we miss you.
I've been thinking more and more about a clamp to hold the F1 steering box in place above the framerail (thanks @cactus1 and @Tuck for the idea)....
Okay, where were we? Things have been crazy at work and I haven't had much time to work on the car, but there are a few updates. A few weeks ago...
Thank you sir. On my way to check it out right now.
Thanks again for all the good words everybody. I'll have a mini-update soon; I now share an address with at least part of the car.
Thanks! The photo makes wheel/wheelwell relationship look screwy, it's actually pretty close to centered. It's going to move a smidge when I...
A clamp is an interesting idea; I'll have to look for that build. There's a lot of force on the output side of the box and I would worry a bit...
Thanks for the ride the other night. I want to go again. Who do I see about that?
I've gotten some work done over the past couple weeks. First, I finally wrapped up the rear suspension/torque tube/wishbones. [ATTACH] Even...
Man that car kicks ass. Can't wait to take a ride tonight.
Thank you , and thanks for reading. Methodical is a polite word for what I am. (And yes that was me on tv. Kind of a weird deal.) Thanks! I...
Thanks man. I just had to double check my math/autobiography skills because 9 years sounds crazy, but it all checks out. Maybe we'll finally get...
Thanks for all the good words fellas. Since the car is a couple hours away right now I'm left to work on little stuff, but progress is...
Ha! I spotted that on your build thread the other day and thought "Gee, that matches mine." I love your car by the way. The tractor radius rods...
Thanks Nick. It's in Norfolk right now so I'm just working on piddly stuff here. I'm trying to push to get it to Omaha soon. If the weather's...
Haha. Would love to. First I need to find time to work on my own junk.
Larry called me a talented turd, I have arrived! Seriously, thanks man. I miss you Okies too, gonna have to visit one of these days.
Done writing. I guess that was kinda long, thanks for sticking with me.
Wow, that was awesome. Congrats.
While I was in Tulsa, I chopped a Model A coupe for someone else. It was a nice car with a deuce frame, good stance, etc. As I finished tacking...
Time for another move and more life-changing stuff. To shorten another long story, we moved to Tulsa and had a baby, both in the same month....
In 2011 I took a major leap of faith and quit my job to attend McPherson College's Automotive Restoration program. The focus of the program is...
Life, as it tends to do, intervened. To make a long story short, I got married to the girl of my dreams and moved to Wichita; six hours away from...
