inch and 3/4 tube hope that helps

 

Got the 48 poncho tail lights roughed in

 

Finishing up the floor.

 

Back to work on day shift after the weekend spent doing my responsibilities at the Open wheel Room-Buffalo Motorama. I need to learn how to walk upright again cause it KICKED MY ASS

 

Hmmmmn what did I get done today? Well I used my face to keep @Tim from pouring oil on his driveway.

 

Worked pretty well! Didn't want any of that high zinc oil going to waist

 

Spent most of the day trying to get dismissed from jury duty,I'll find out tomorrow. HRP

 

Finally got my wife's OT daily's ball joints done. I think the one on the right explains the squealing tire when you make a turn. It is a wreck rebuild and I think this got overlooked.

Sent from my A520L using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

 

Made a console with my bead roller today. Raised the shifter up 1 1/2" . Blue

 

slid the nailhead in the bugeye for a look, started on some subframe reinforcing

 

Finished cleaning up my 1931 Buick and took pictures to put it up for sale.
Was going to rod it but have my eye on something else.

 

Raining today but yesterday I unloaded one and parked it next to the other till I have room inside. Lippy

 

Cripes
It's about time, the sun finally showed itself yesterday, long enough to get a winters growth of grass mowed, then I welded up a broken chain link gate latch.
Life in Oregon is good again!

 

Called Steadfast and got a price on the subrail kickup kit for A bodies on '32 rails. Now if the crap I list on "that auction site" sells I can order one in a week or two. Bob

 

Replaced the lock and deadbolt on my garage,my daughter lost the spare key and I'm paranoid. HRP

 

Is 1-800-32s GONE added to your speed dial? Bob

 

Well - so far today I helped Lebowski and drove the 58 retractable around the block that got an engine/tranny rebuild.

Todays not yet over !

Put my 56 Vic back on the street after 6 months. Total strip and repaint, new carpet, not a kit, and headliner. Glad to have it back.

 

Today I brought home a new fence. Now all I got to do is unload it and put it in. Why on earth is everything so damned heavy?

 

Pulled the car cover off of the 51 and hooked up my Christmas present battery tender. Started cleaning the garage out so I can get back to work on the A.

 

Went to a swapmeet.

 

felt a little down , today is my 70,s birthday , feel older than dirt , some buddies say that i,m so old i have dino
pee on my knees ! nice buddies , any how weather today is great so i pulled the 35 out went for a short drive ,
kicked it a few times .... Feels like 18 again ... life is good ! you hamber,s are great !

 

Loaded a few more things on the scrap trailer for my annual shop clean out, it's tough not to pull things back out but there comes a time when you just have to let it go.

 

Has anyone else noticed that 83 yr old sheetmetal is a PITA to blast, compared to 40 yr old sheetmetal.....man o man those little pits are killin me!!!!

 

Yes I have noticed that. Those pits are THE pits!

 

Spent an hour digging out more treasures obtained on the trip to FL to buy a 36 cabriolet that has been stalled for about 10 years so could take some more pictures to share on HAMB, spent time emailing them to computer so could edit them, edited them on computer, then realized thread had been deleted when couldn't find it anymore.
I think I'm done with working to get pictures to share for awhile.
No notice, no email, no private message. Only had one other thread deleted in the 10 years I've been on the HAMB and they sent me some kind of notice but forgot reason as it was many years ago.
Never mean to offend but it would help to at least get a clue. I'll bet somebody would like to have got a better look at those 36 rear radius arms. Oh well.

On a more positive note, the original 36 Ford wheels I sweated to get out of the trailer did look to be in pretty good condition as all four still had the clips for holding the hubcaps on them. Don't know stock rear ratio yet but hope it is 3.78 or higher.

 

I was lucky enough to hang out and learn a ton of metal shaping with these cool guys!!! And work on some high quality metal shaping tools. @BAILEIGH INC put on a class that I will never forget.
