Henry J project update

I got some new pics of my Henry. The interior is startin to come together. Floor pans, tunnel, shifter, gas pedal are all in. It is more comfortable than it looks. The $100 sign is the access panel for the master cylinder.

 

Damn fine piece of iron. I like those old Henry J's. That's one of the few cars that I'd consider giving up my coupe for. Nice work.

 

Very nice. Makes me think of my Dad he was always a huge fan of the Henry Js. They just don't look right without the nose in the air, you got it perfect.

 

Wow, that is cool, you must be giddy like a little school girl!

 

Well little man I hope you got those doors welded on because if not IM GONNA BLOW THEM OFF ......... Looks good little RY. SadFab will drop over real soon!

 

AA/fuel,...what you buildin that'll blow his doors off?..heard you were doin a gasser of sorts.

So this is the J I have been hearing about. Pretty cool car. Lets see under the hood. Please?

That is will be the coolest car in the school parking lot.

Dude, I love it....I hope some day to run against ya with the Rebel Reaper! Don

 

That's a pretty bitching car, the stance is right and the lettering and scoop bring it all together.

 

here's an older pic of the engine mock up and the car pre-lettering.

 

Coming together real nice.

 

I know what's up.. yer goin to be goin through head gaskets.

 

Step into the "Wayback Machine"

 

gonna invest in wheelie bars right?

 

maybe if I ever run a 4.56 gear. I don't think I'll need em now, but they'd look bitchin

 

Not much to say that has'nt been said already man, very nice.

 

Ryan there are some things that I just shouldnt have told you...

Does that mean I need wheelie bars?

Ryan I love bustin you chops!

 

don't fret, You wont have to worry bout pullin the wheels on that 57

 

AA/Fuel thats a cool 5-7 ya got there.....

 

Scrape thanks for posting the pictures for me. The car is alot further along now than when I hyad taken those pix........

 

Please tell me you're bringing it to the hamb drags. What a great car.

 

...AA/fuel,...did you build that car?....strate axle, etc? It's very nice, sits nice,...I'll have to check it out when I see you around. You bringin it to the Zettle's Bike Day?...or you goin to Sam's cruz in Byron soon, actually this coming Thursday nite! If not, hope to see you and Ryan at the "Scrap Drive"

 

Looks great! As ROOT asked, are you coming to MOKAN in august if so I'd like to line up with you and probably get beat, but still run them!!! Hear is a picture of mine in 1961 when my old man and his band of misfits were putting it together!!!

 

I wish I could bring it but it wont be done ......

Yes I built it. I bought the shell off racingjunk.com. I used a axle out of a 55 chevy truck then hand drilled it with a hole saw. The motor is a fresh .040 454 monster solid lift cam. DC machine done the machining on the block and crank. Then I assembled it with all the goodies.. Right now Im in the middle of fitting the roll cage and seats. I would love to bring it to the Zettle's It wont be done. Work is slow so money is slow Im shooting for the Scrap Drive. I just need to bust my ass some more and not worry about money!!!

 

Always great to see a HJ done right! Nice stance with the nose at the right angle. he rear fender radius looks great too. You are inspiring me to get off the couch and do something on the 'Hairy Cherry". Check out www.Henryjcars.com link and click on Hairy Cherry project in the under construction section. Littleman's HJ is shown in there too under "Monza J".

 

Great car! I talked to you at the Byron car show last summer, you were telling me about the J, the look is perfect. I can't wait to see it in person. I hope you can make it to the "Scrap Drive" on June 9th.

 

hell yeah. real cool
