Technical What are you working on?

Putting much needed 4.11s in after the m22 install.

 

Ha Ha! There are days that my own name is a mystery to me, so I know how you feel!

 

Tearing down my 401 Nailhead to start the rebuild for my '49 Merc.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Are you going to do a build thread? Be good to know what you find in parts availability these days. I have a ‘63 401 on the stand that might need the same. Thanks!

 

Love the rear wheel radius treatment. Still remember a similar '55 when I was in HS in the late '60's. Looked fast just sitting in the school parking lot.

 

Getting an old truck running. I had to clean some gunk out of the innards of the carb. Didn't need a kit, fortunately.

 

Took a break from my engine rebuild tonight. I bought a cheap HF sandblasting cabinet a couple years back on sale, so extra cheap. I had no room for it at the time. Now with my new shop I have the room, and will soon have the need, so figured I’d start assembling it tonight.
My son bought an obviously OT 4 wheeler project last week. I don’t have much interest in those things, but it gets the kid out in the shop and tools in his hand, and next to the old man-me.
Tonight he pulled and inspected his clutch plates.

 

Been working on a ton of stuff, some slightly off topic including my new daily driver. Hopefully enough on topic stuff in this shot at the shop

 

You got the whole tri-five contingency there 5,6 and a 7

 

Unbeknownst to me I never made the gauge lights operable the first time around on the 41.
I dig out the 30 yr old autometer box to find my layout templates, instructions, the red/green bulb condoms but only 1 of the 5 guage lights.
$50 freaking dollars for 4 of these little bastards !

 

nice golf cart

 

That little bastard will smoke the tires from a 30 mph roll

 

like always said....PICS!

 

Today I made hotel reservations for Bowling Green next year. It will be Little Truckdoctor and my first time there. We are going to hang out with Lloyd and hopefully meet more of our HAMB brothers and sisters. With Bowling Green and Lloydfest, it’s shaping up to be a Kentucky kind of year!

 

Linking power, grounds and lighting wires, like a radioactive tentacle apocalypse going on here

 

Really looking forward to it Andy! Hate to rush life, but I can't wait for it to get here! You'll love it!

 

I know exactly how you feel about rushing life, but I can’t wait for it either!!

 

Fired up the new 150,000 btu kerosene heater ...5 gallons of diesel with 8 ounces of gasoline ..It burns really nice and wont foul out the plug...

 

4:11's, M22, 200s, 55. Those are few of my favorite numbers.

 

I removed the frame from my unmentionable chevelle hopefully for the last time. Body should be back on it next weekend

 

I too have been working on my unmentionable big block daily driver. only 2 yrs too new but I will be driving the Vette to the shop tomorrow and I can assure you the tach will see 7 grand

 

I've got those door panels still. I promise I'll get them to you.

 

Replacing the tail pan on the 40 this weekend and continuing to prep for the driver side drip rail replacement.

 

I was going to phone my buddy Lloyd today and got tied up in a meeting all afternoon…

 

What brand and model if you don't mind sharing?

 

Hadn't really planned to, but might. Go to nailheadbuick.com for all your Nailhead needs.

 

Oh, and I finished up the dash for my Low Cab project. looks like I need to clean the shop next.

 

rambler?

 

Sold an o/t vette last night that was my youngest son’s car before he traded it to the dad bank to buy something else which frees up both cash and time to work on something I want to work on. But, I also am in the process of maybe buying back a slightly o/t Chevelle that I built for my brother back in 91. My brother and I traded it back and forth a few times over the years until we sold it to a friend of mine in 2017. Anyway, it can be bought back now I think, or it is at least sitting in my shop until we make a deal. It needs some work too and isn’t really my taste anymore, but also tough to forget all the memories with my brother and even my boys in it. Thinking I might sell another car and try to get it back. No real pics here since it is o/t, but this shot could be ok? My grandson at least seems to like it.

 

Great picture, and to quote someone famous here, I’d race it!!!!
