I've always loved the roof on those old 3 window Mopars! And the loooong deck lids.

Wrecking yard yesterday and got lots of surprizes. '55 chevy cars and trucks were abundant. '53 henry J, Model A with '32 grille, '60 chevies I took pictures and will try to figure out how to post them.

 

I only wish I had room for more than two of them.

 

Finally got the darned brakes working properly on the '41 after my little mishap, heading out for a test drive after a shower and some lunch

 

Crawled under the Exxon Valdez and Simple Greened the oil off the bottom of the car. Looking for my oil leak...

 

Closed? Seems like I was just in it. Someone decide to be stupid?
Anyway, got both my doors hung and set my cab on my frame. Next step is to get everything in body position and start rebuilding the box.

 

Trying to make the decklid fit in the hole.



-Abone.

 

Started welding the floors in the 56 wagon.

 

The thread was locked because too many people were posting off topic stuff. HRP

 

Sorry to see the old post closed, I'll post something related when it happens, I do enjoy seeing what others are doing. Carry on! Bob

 

Finalized frame to cab wood blocking for 32. Layed out scale drawing for two new legs of rear upper portion of tubular X Frame. They will replace the two legs that had major clearance issues.

 

Made a floor for the trunk of the Model A.

 

Cool...it's what my dad and mom honeymooned in ? A black 3 window Dodge - he was just out of the military.....got to find those pictures or slides.

 

some thing like this
Whoever just deleted my last post on finishing up the paint on that truck, you better go back and delete all of the other posts about the same damn truck. I know we focus on pre 65 here, but that's obviously not the focus on this thread. Jeez, there isn't very many post on this thread that are on topic. Better get busy with your delete button.

Why go somewhere else and get cheated? Come see me first!

From the BillyBob Shop log.

May 4th 2020 Reinstalled the rear window frame. Got some cab interior parts from Jeff at Bowtie Bits which included new black clutch head screws for the interior trim. They were all too short and the wrong thread for the rear window frame so I hunted up the rusted ones from the tear down and gave them an EvapoRust soak. Stuck them in a piece of foamboard to hold them, PRE Paint prepped them and sprayed the tops with Eastwood's Underhood Black, the closest match in my inventory to the screws from Bowtie Bits. Beer of the day was Free State Brewing Co's Stormchaser IPA.

 

It was getting off topic I suppose, looking back through it now.
But I assumed it was politics or something that killed it.
Hence my "stupid" comment.

 

Been painting interior and inside of doors, around jambs,etc of my 56. Changed one bushing/pin on front leaf spring, still need to do other 6. Boy working off a creeper sure is harder than it used to be!

 

Love the color. HRP

 

I took a drive Saturday afternoon and parked in front of a cannon.

 

we took our 65 Malibu out for a hundred mile cruz thru the country yesterday,beautiful day for a drive...

 

Went on a lock down cruse for some nursing home folks Saturday. There were over 2000 cars and 500 or so motorcycles. We took the 40 Pontiac and this picture was in St Larence wi. Gary

 

A wrecking yard with a model A that has a deuce grille...pictures or it never happened!

 

I scooped up a flathead I’m hoping is really an EAC engine, looks to have the 4” crank, violated the quarantine a few times and my daughter brush painted the ‘32... good weekend if you ask me

 

Painted my '27 Coupe Windshield

 

Cleaning WCFB parts. Lots of fun.
