Cleaning up this mess and then starting another one

 

Working on a sermon using hotrods as an illustration for Sunday night at church. Pastor has the flu so I'm filling in for him. Headed to a swap meet in a few minutes. Not sure what I am looking for but when I see it I'll know I need it.

 

Working on reshaping the lower radius on my quarter windows

 

Made a bracket for my exhaust system out of 2CV handbrake lever arms. Need a little blending...

Tomorrow I will replace the knackered original door locks with the locks from a post 1972 2CV... this will give me anti-burst locks with a lockable external teardrop-shaped external door handle.

 

Mike Paul, good on you for reshaping the 1/4 windows. Nice work.

Now slant the a pillars.

Things went well, boxed some stuff for shipping shuffled stuff around and got the frame for the '39 Pickup inside. I can scrape the grease and dirt off it inside were it is nice and warm.

 

Got most of the body work done in preparation of paint. Gotta finish up the doors and dash and then pull the body from the frame to paint.

Whipped up a fan shroud for the Highboy. Need the snow to go away to see if it helps. Ron

 

Creating dust!

For this.


The Virginia HAMB Bonneville truck project.

 

Working on a 37 Lassalle trans for a trade deal.

 

Went back to running the stock model A tank and have been perplexed with what to do about my gauge panel.

Not a lot of choices with the stock tanks so I’m gonna try this.

Made my own ‘32 style dash with some 18 gauge sheet metal. Used the bead roller to stiffen up the bottom. I put a hole in it so I can view the stock model A fuel gauge and I’ll place the other gauges in the panel but there is nowhere enough depth for a speedometer.

So, I’m going to use a tach cup and mount it on the column.

If its nice this weekend I will start yanking the drivetrain from a parts truck that I have behind the garage and start cutting it up for scrap,a friend is getting the motor and I need the trans and mounts for my 66 F100 when it gets the 351-W.

 

Working on a '41 Willys. I finished the firewall and floors last weekend. Hopefully I will get the seat mounts done this weekend and then on to the steering and pedals.

 

I wonder if anything will look better Sunday evening? Bob

 

Painting, etc.

Took out these old cut coils and installed new 2” drop coils from Shoebox Central. Actually raised the car a half inch in front, which is what I wanted anyway.

 

Punch out list on 65 Watson sprint car build

 

Chassis Skateboard, somebody will tell me what a 35-40 Ford frame weighs, just awkward enough to need rollers. Less than a buck for the hardware and I'm rolling. Bob

 

Next on the to do list is wet sand the '38 Deluxe hood and buff it, just so I can look at a wet sanded & buffed hood. Bob

 

Bet that is going into something really swoopy. Must be a story behind that engine stand mount. Bob
