My friend Jeff has a model A roadster in the works. Today he brought up a load of parts and the mock-up begins. Started off with some American stamping brand rails and we finnished welding the boxing plates in today. Slapped a front end under it and now we need some rear susspention parts. Just tacked the rearend in for now. After we made a roller out of it we set Red Meats Tall T body on for kicks and to make some room to put it inside for the night. I think the T looks kind of good on the 32 rails, but it will really go on A rails (soon I hope). Here's a few pics of todays work. Tomarrow we will get the roadster body up here and mock that up on the deuce rails (pics of that tomarrow).
Soon is right Big Daddy! I hope to be able to be at your Garahe on Sunday AND Monday....I will bring the Hubs and we should be able to get that frame off the ground and Rolling around! Oh and for Flat Head Youngin'...that V-8 is in Metal....
Right on K. Looks good. I miss the backyard of yours. Can close my eyes and see blaze racing us in the Stuart little car and him takin all your dads money in poker Ya Redmeat get over there and wrench,leave the ladies alone for a few days at least Keep us updated bro.....Shiny
Yeah Shiny that boy of yours took a little money of all of us that night! So has he progressed past dice to Texas Holdem' yet?
Looks good Keith! Exciting to be at the mock up/roller stage. If you ever need any muscle, give a shout.
Thanks fellas, alot of work yet to be done. Jeffery wants to have his roadster done in 2 months wish him luck. I should get him to sign up here, damned lurker!
Sundays progress, Red Meats T is now a roller. 2 rollers in 2 days, thrashin. Rolled out my coupe and took some more pics.....
You should have seen him in action FEDER...I would go make a parts run and he would have fabricated some new bracket or mount in they time it took me to roll down to the local NAPA... I have to tell you guys....if it weren't for Kmember I would never be able to get this car even close to this..he is The Man!
Chop that coupe man, it's hurtin' my eyes. Looks like you got alot of sweet projects around there. Nice pics too.
Thanks to you Fed, boxing the frame to start with, I just finish welded Jefferys, but Meats was bare as it get today. "Mocking stuff up is about as fun as you can have with you pants on !" Ain't that the truth Rolf. "Chop that coupe man, it's hurtin' my eyes. Looks like you got alot of sweet projects around there. Nice pics too.".....Maybe next year Norrie, I'm gonna drive a high boy the first year...then... Look for more progress next weekend. In the mean time, here are the motor mounts I made with Jeffery for Red Meats T.. 1 make a little plate to bolt to mount. 2 make template. 3 cut out patterns 4 tack in place 5 weld 6 motor mounts done! easy as 1,2,6!
Rolf...I am sick and my head is pounding....but I still have a HUGE grin on my face.....to think just 2 weeks ago I was Dead Set on selling that pile of parts...now just yesterday I was rolling it around the yard for pictures!
Another busy weekend working on Jefferys roadster, made trany mount and motor mounts (that I will do a tech post on maybe tomarow). Looks like he finally did an intro....sorry no pics today, but there will be soon.
Keith awesome progress. How is the truck coming? Are you going to have it ready for this summer? Sorry I haven't made it back up to the shop with buying the new place I have been running crazy with no spare change in the pocket. Eric
Thanks all, and Mika, you are more than welcome to come on up and take some of those fine pics that you do.
