Folks Of Interest A view from the shop floor.

Walking around the shop this morning i realized that the Fab shop is full of HAMB friendly projects right now.
A 32 pickup that belongs the boss. a pair of 5 windows one for a complete build the other isin just for piecing back together. A 29 Chrysler for a chassis and drivetrain restoration and a little hot rodding.

 

Nice collection were is the Murphy OHV going?

 

Looks like a fun place to work.

 

Very cool Rex

 

The Murphy OHV is going in a 29 roadster on 32 rails. That one is the shop project we are wanting to have done for the dirt drags

 

This might be stretching it a bit for a Hot Rod.
Recommissioning on a 1929 Model 75 Chrysler roadster. High compression head and a little carburetor reworking we ended up with 76.6 hp on the dyno with 128lbs of torque i believe. We did add a gearvendors overdrive, the car will comfortable do 55mph we had it up to 73mph but with babbitt bearings and everything else stock Chrysler parts we didn't want to push the car to the breaking point. we have about 350 miles logged on the car now.

 

Ill play. From the floor, my Speed 33 roadster from the garage floor (hard to get down this low...torn meniscus) from the rear...crappy I phone photos, sorry. Not a "traditional" but built to look that way thanks to this site.

and from the front, minus the headlights in this shot tonight.
Still in mock up, I have a bit more to do before I tear it apart for paint. One man operation so it is taking some time. Still needs attention to the grille/inner fender fitment (hopefully this weekend), and I'm adding a new set of external door hinges (also this weekend I hope). One of these days boys, one of these days.

Now help me, I cant get up...where is that damn alert necklace when you need it?

 

My shop's floor don't look nothing like you guys' shop floors look.

 

The shop floor this morning. A fair amount of hamb friendly builds in progress.

 

Sometimes life is just really good.........and it looks like you might be having one of those times.

 

That's some really nice floors (I wish)....I can hardly see my "shop" floor right now!

 

this one will do for now!

 

Love it!

 

I like the look of your shop floor. Cool stuff everywhere !

Looking at our shop floor, all I see is vintage British stuff - oh yea, that what I do, lol. We have a couple vintage racecars in for spring service (67 AH Sprite , 66 MGB) , A 61 Triumph TR-3 , a 47 MG TC and a 62 Volvo 544 Street racer we're building for a customer.
Same old stuff for our shop - Ya definitely need a change when that kinda stuff is normal , lol !

 

The shop floor at home needs some attention one of theses days the 5 window will start looking like a 5 window again

 

Please : Some info on that shwoopy boat tail!!

 

that is the tail section for the Timbs special, it is back in the shop for some insurance paint work.

LOVE that Chrysler 75 roadster!! I wish I had kept mine.

 

Those cars have great body lines and stock suspension wise it is a better handling car than early Ford. Definitely more room for the driver.

tuesdays gone with the wind! Pulled the engine to rebuild the steering box,found a few other things needing attention,hope to start reassembly this week.

 

My projects always start out simple just replace the clutch, then the next thing you know the transmission is apart and then the suspension. while you at it look the rear end over. Project Creep the struggle is real.

 

Its not easy being a car guy!

 

The view from the shop floor this week, not a ton of progress. Guys out for vacations and we have an open house coming up so clean up time is starting.
