What did you get done this weekend?

We ended up putting that fuel pump in anyway along with new hoses and in-line filters. The car starts better than ever now. A little rattle-can action on the rusty battery tray and vent tube made the guts look a little nicer.

Yesterday I dismantled the drivers side door and we put in new window channel all around. Boy was that a pain in the ass! I was optimistically thinking I'd get both doors done yesterday but after we finished the first one the second one wasn't gonna happen.

Maybe door #2 will go better...

I am really enjoying not hearing my window rattle anymore though, so I guess the ordeal was worth it.

What did you do?

 

We finished moving the shop and set up the lifts!!
Oh yea and put in some new plugs and a flange gasket on the 59 apache!
then it drove great and my headlight switch went out!!!
YEA!!!!! so thats what Im doing tonight!

 

Got the new hardlines for the compressor in the shop. All high pressure Galvanized steel. Of course it leaks. So I'm gonna pull it apart and use dope instead of teflon tape.

 

Installed a gas pedal.

 

And a hood ornament on the F-1

 

finaly forced myself to pick up and organize my shop!

..some

gawd what a pile o' junk!

also did a little wiring so I could plug the plazma cutter in

didn't really get to the cars much but at least I have some work space now!

Spent a day scrapeing about 50 years worth of crud (a shop vac full) off the front crossmember and chassis (engine bay) of a friends supposedly probuilt Stude.
We pulled the professionaly built engine last weekend. What a piece...
Got about 8 hrs worth of rewireing to do...
Pardon me while I rant.
It's gonna be sweet when we finish straightening out all the work the "pros" did and get the backyard built mill in it.
A worthwhile project...

 

Took the late model truck that Killer, Jeff from Devious customs and I built to a truck show out in the middle of BFE (that's right by killers house by the way). I know that it isn't related to anything traditional (well except channeling it, Z-ing the frame, etc...) but you asked...

2004 Nissan Titan

 

I built these and made some stamped copper gaskets to go with them.

 

I got my motor mounts and rear crossmember tacked in the frame for my 32 p/u.



I also got the k-member cut out to clear the T-5 transmission and brought the cab in the shop to start work on it. Of course I had to set it together to see what it looked like.



As you can see, the windshield area on the cowl needs some work.

Welded some more on the hood of my delivery and visited the Tattoo parlor.

 

Found a restoration shop that will fix the Vic. and dropped her off.

CHA-CHING!

It wasn't really anything special, but it sure does feel good to not walk out the door every morning and see that f'd up paint

 

Could'nt see spending $61 plus s&h for a new floor brace for the '49 so $8 dollars worth of steel and one football game on the radio later I had one brand new passenger side floor brace done! Pretty fun and pretty easy, definately no show piece but not too bad either - I figure by the time I build the other 3 I need should be pretty good at it! The others will be even cheaper as I will go to the steel wholesaler instead of the hardware store for my materials. If you are needing new floorbraces in your shoebox I would encourage you to try building your own. I am no great talent but seemed to have built a piece that will work at considerable savings. After the braces are done then I am gonna tackle replacing the floor-

 

NealinCa damn that looks sweet, got any more pics?
All i did this weekend was make a double score.....saturday scored a chopped '30 coupe body & a half hour later scored an 8BA with Offy heads, triple carbs & an open drive three speed......yeeehaw!!!!
sometimes things just workout great....now i'm broke..but happy.

 

I spent the weekend cleaning up the front end of my GMC p/u chassis and painting it. Took apart one front leaf spring cleaned it and painted and a few other bits. also put my brake cylinder back on and ordered a load of bits from Chevy Duty to start putting it all back together.

Not bad for a weekends work.

Not a damn thing...just playing lazy!

 

Went to the Saturday Scottsdale Art Walk and then drove home.

Does anyone ever start this thread who hasn't personally done a damn thing all week end?

 

I sent a letter to germ and attached a soap on the rope for the next time he visits the jail house.

Photographed skateboarders all weekend and made a few bucks.. Nothing on the car or bike. BUT tonight Sawzall and Tokyo are coming over to fix that. BUWAAAHAAAAA

I started to fill my decklid. Here is the before:

<center></center>

this is the after photo when I sliced the top and center of the license plate pocket and popped it out and filled the 50 factory holes for the decklid handle assembly.

<center></center>

This week it will be mud slinging central to fill it all up and make it purty.

 

I cleaned out the garage and did a fluid changing bolt tightening session on the cheby b4 driving it down South to GEEMAN'S shindig. I inspected all the welds on my Death Rod's two link air bag suspension. 2 YRS no cracks.

The weather was NICE ! washed the mor-door and drove it all weekend,,,,,,,didn't touch the roadster! HRP

 

Built a 4' x 8' frame jig for the pickup frame build.

 

Got a honda 750 front end all stripped down for my bike..now i got to get workin on the tank

 

I almost forgot, I also had a couple of hot pockets and watched some midget porn...

 

Worked on my '48 F1.

Started with a cab, front fenders, hood, doors, bed, '78 Camaro front clip and 40' of steel.

Ended up with the new frame rails attached to the GM clip, and it's ready to start designing the rear suspension.

I have a long way to go, and more pictureshere on my site.

The blocks are just holding up the fenders, the truck is sitting on it's own wheels, and 6" stands in the back.

 

Made the wife happy...built in the closet in her craft room to make a work table, storage shelves, and pull out sewing shelf. Not hot rod related but it was too damn cold in the garage this weekend to be out there anyway...

 

finished painting the PPG concept onto grandmas Farmall B tractor and did most of the assembling. Turned out excellent I love concept!

daisyduke, good to hear from you, I was wondering how your truck was doing!

 

I've spent the last 3 months trying to get a late model into primer for a show this weekend...

Ended up being a Thursday-Sat type o thing to get it there...

Then I proceeded to drink myself silly Saturday night at the truck run...

I also managed to crop dust OGNC a couple of times...

 

Nothing. It was -40 or colder here for most of the weekend, I did get some work on the towtruck though.
