Projects 59 El Camino.. Part Two

No, I'm finishing up on the 57 Couch. I have been collecting the last of the stuff I need. Mufflers, starter & alternator. I can't wait to get back on it!

 

Finished shaping the foam





In the sun

 

Looking good.

 

Thanks Greg!

 

Tomorrow, I finish this thing up. Thank goodness

Upholstery.. Done!(almost)

 

This thing leaves, tomorrow. Sneak peek

 

Wicked work, JJ! Ki ya find a surfer chick to drape across it before it leaves?

 

That would be fun.. real fun! Do a little skateboarding on the couch

 

How about getting some Gold Finger with Pussy Galore?

 

In my best Sean C 007 voice.. "Why Yesshh!"

 

Assembled and ready to ship



Bah- bye!

 

very nice indeed

 

Thanks Nadeem!

 

One Man Half Brain Brake Bleeder

I just need to tap and drill the brake bleeder screw, now. I need to install the new calipers & m/c on the 57.. so this is perfect timing now that I'm a one man band!





Thanks to tech week & the Da Tinman

 

Jay as a fellow that also works by myself I enlist the aid of mean ol Mr. Gravity! Takes a while but I have had 100% results. I open all four bleeds, grab a beer (or 2 or 3 or 4) and sit back and relax (this is an end of the day task) and close them down as soon as weeping shows up.

 

There is so much knowledge here on the HAMB. The gravity trick would work, I guess people don't use it since they need instant results to hurry and finish the job. I am going to try that sometime.

 

Jay, if you can blow this up? here's the type of W/P I talked about earlier this morning.

I looked up the pumps. They make a"dual" outlet swp. I have one here I'm going to have rebuilt in fontana. Thanks again Mr. Gee!

 

I misremember where I put the pictures I originally snapped of the Johnny Gee alt brkt set up. Thought I'd share the new pics.

 

Oh Jay, I didn't expect you to talk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZxzC3X5ww8

 

Oops.. I can't talk my way out that one. But I sure could've used that laser to cut zee new brackets!

Found some old American Racing Equip Slot mags, Dad had stowed away. Great match for the A.R.E front runners I had caps machined for.

Damn Jay you work fast, looks good. I didn't need a laser for 6160 alum.

 

Today I was wondering where you got that lite silver paint. Should've known it was aluminum!

 

Hey! a new Bond movie. Silver Finger, this time I put you on my Band Saw and watch as your crotch inches towards the Blade .

 

You're not the first person that wants me castrated!

 

No worries...we can rebuild him...make him better...faster...stronger...the $19.95 strap-on man.

 

looking at the Bond film clip, the laser cutting was actually done by a guy underneath the bench with an oxy acetelyne torch. It was apparently rather hot, as Sean Connery states in his biography.

 

No worries? Easy for you to say!

So it ends up I do have that laser/oxy-acy

 

Besides the .700" Crank Pulley Spacer & detail work, Alt Brkt is finished. Mock up pattern on the floor

 

Wow Jay, that motor is sano.
