Technical What are you working on?

Wild guess, she’s the boss of you, isn’t she? He he.

 

Maybe I’ll get the grease shields orientated correctly during installation?

 

The coupe pulled a big wheelie over the weekend, and came down hard. I have two tweaked front wheels and a bent shock. I am pretty pissed. Ordered parts to fix it. Cost to much $ toward the end of the summer.

 

Not good

 

Ya got in a damn hurry didn't ya lol.

 

I did yup!

 

Changing the 3rd member on my 3w, too old to gorilla it in so I made a fixture to so I could use my transmission jack.

 

I just love finding crap like this... almost 1/2" of filler in the deep spot. This door if fubar!

 

I promise I didn’t do it!! However, it matches my meager body work skills!

 

I don't know what the hell I'm doing, but I look busy when the wife checks up on me....
Looks like 73-74 CCs per vs 69 CCs listed on all the internet sites. Trust, but verify.

 

The beginning of a new project.

 

And that is why we call you Mad Mikey not miffed mikey or slightly agitated mikey.

 

I remember a classmate in shop class that had one of those ugly pickups, had a nasty dent right in the front corner of the hood. He kept adding bondo to fill it up. I graduated before he ever filled it in.

 

Not mine but I'll be the one customizing it!

 

Is it staying a dually or becoming a pickup?

 

Injection for my dirt modified .

 

Time to build out Dad's 65 C10.

 

Making/repairing stake pockets

 

And the fun with the roadster door continues...

 

Making progress

Spent part of the day to get this look


Also worked on the garage door replacement panel up front of the car. I'm feeling good about what happened and didn't have to call 911 to pull it off.

 

Keeping it a dually. Looking for a 60s dodge bed and some fenders to mold into the sides. Nothing too radical but definitely Kustom.

 

Made it home from my off topic vacation, back to work on the Corvette top mechanism....installed the weatherstrip on the pass side, trying to get it to go where it belongs. This could take a while, I guess.

 

Running brake lines, rears are done and speculating location and routing of the front lines, then I can figure out front hose length. Looks like I'm going on top of the frame, up and to backside of front crossmember and back to passenger side, unless I have a different bright idea lol

 

A few days ago but it was sunny so I got the body work done on the hood and trunk lid and decided to prime them in my big paint booth.

 

Off to paint

 

Continuing to turn thin air into car.

It now has a passenger side rear quarter.

Starting on the trunk.

(Begging forgiveness because the parts you see were the same in '65.)

 

Been getting the engine and transmission mounted in the 59 gasser street freak thingy. 545 cubic inch 385 series, going to be a fun ride.
