Technical What are you working on?

Ok, that will work. I could not see the split!





Bones

 

I can't do video when I am hanging on to steering wheel and shifter levers, watching for cops, and ass wipe drivers in electric cars.

 

It's like building my Henry J, I want it's history to show through to show that it's been a hot rod for a long time, not some fresh perfect build that's supposed to look old.
So I left some rough looking work alone instead of redoing it, what's hard is trying to blend new work in with the old without it looking like a night and day difference between the two.
It all gives it character I guess, plus I'm not particularly fond of electrical anymore since I'm totally dependent on an electric box in my chest, let's not do anything to mess with the rhythm of that baby...lol

You know now that wiring will be the first thing I look at when in the garage, damn you.

 

Sure you can Mike.

 

What happened to the oil cap?

 

That silly thing never like to stay on. I did find it later hiding at the back of the inner wheel well.

 

LOL! That's better than finding it in your rear tire!!!

 

A/F dragster panel. First time working with magnesium..

 

where do you even buy that sheet stock?!-wow...

 

Salty your 409 video was rattling my iPhone.

 

Yeah Mike, one hand on wheel holding phone, full manual reverse th400 lol

 

Got the new to me idler pulley in and the damn thing is to narrow, I never ask the width because he was selling several standard 8 mm pulleys with it so I just assumed it took a 3 inch belt.
And ya wonder how a guy gets a stack of useless parts lol



Dug through my other useless parts to possibly come up with a gas cap for the J

 

No... Most of us know... We're just in denial!!! LOL!!!

 

Speaking of useless parts, look at this George Barris special for a 57-59 ford I forgot I had lol

 

Working on my 55 Chevy truck. Getting closer to being finished

 

That's nice

 

That's a sweet old truck!

 

I was wondering where the fill was.

 

That's a good question.

Norm, came up with a piece he had stashed, somewhere in the shop. I'll ask him tomorrow, where be buys it from.

 

I was using the stock filler when I had the tank in the stock position under the car



But since I moved it inside the car I'll have to cut a hole in the body in the trunk area somewhere around here, just have it sitting over the top of a magnet to get an idea now.

 

Nicer than mine haha

 

It will be easier to fuel

 

I'm still working on learning how to walk again, while my project sits & sits. Chances of going to LloydFest is looking slimmer & slimmer.......

 

Shit TagMan , thats not good news... I'm thinking good thoughts for you I still appreciate the 37 parts you sent me!

 

Damn sorry to hear that.

 

One of the problems of getting old, Scotty, but thanks for the sentiments.

 

Brakes on my avatar. Been working ok but needed maintenance. Going with smaller wheel cylinders for easier lever pressure.

 

What happened to ya, that southern living get in the way of your Yankee tendencies ?

 

Oh no! Don't start that talk big boy! I'll drive my ass down there and haul you back lol. Hope you get back to somewhat normal buddy

 

I built a frame for my new gas tank transplant. Haven't made my mind up if I'm gonna weld it to the car or drill and bolt.... made a notch to sit on the sub rail.


And I've worked on the convertible suspension. Had to order ball joints so that came to a halt.
