Kickstand lake pipes?

i never knew they were called kick stand lakers. i am heading to the diesel supply house in the morn maybe i can get some stainless copies made. i have one old chrome one to copy

 

Bob McCoys famous 40 ford tudor also had them. His were at the front edge of the board though. His also had the regular pipes exit just ahead of the rear tires.

I’d forgotten about this thread. Since I’m here, here’s how my kickstand lake pipes turned out.

 

What? 10 years and no ripple pipes?

 

I had some on my OT '68 way back in the previous century. Hooker headers straight back to Cherry Bombs and a swaged 45 ending about even with the outer corner of the Mickey Thompsons.
Like the Johnny Cash song, "I built it one clamp at a time". (No welds.)

 

Any more pics of kickstands?? Thinking of a set fir my 39.

 

called sneaker pipes in my time

 

^^^^Two different things^^^

 

Looks great, I have missed you at BTT50s the last couple times I have been there. You were always away from your car!

 

For the last several years I have been working during the show. If you see my car at the show, it's generally parked at the Wizards Products booth. You'll find me there!

 

Let's hope for 21

rippled jiffy stands, inset a bit to aid ground clearance.

 

these are exactly what I’m looking for!!! Wish I could find an old set. Otherwise I’ll make my own. Just have to figure out how to ripple the pipe.

 

The inset is super nice! Don’t have an extra set laying around do you?

 

I think it would behoove a guy to figure out how to ripple tubing. Of course, then everyone would have it and there goes the mystique.

 

guessing you don’t have any more in stock do you??

 

I want to see those on the car!

 

I have an idea on how to try and ripple the pipe at home. I’ll give it a try and document it. If it works I’ll make a tech thread on it.

 

Never heard them called that and I was there in 50-60’s when they were on a lot of cars..

 

Patience you must have, my young padawan

 

Bought those I did from the Museum Moriarity. Beneficial to know those in high places it is.

 

I also had an idea,,,,,did not go well.
The first ripple went well.Warmed up an inch above the first,but when i
pressed, the first ripple collapsed.Hope your idea is better

 

my idea is to fill the pipe section with sand, measure the spacing of the ripples and using a clamping device to press the ripples into the pipe.

 

I think you are on to something. My thought is instead of pressing you ROLL them in. The sand should act as a soft mandrel.

 

or turn some dies for your english wheel
