Technical What are you working on?

I cringe when I see that Taylor name, I worked at that place for a short spell outside of KC. when I was going to tech school. Finally got a job at the Midas shop at 30th and Troost

 

Braided steel hose in black? Never saw that.

 

It has a fabric cover over the stainless braid. I like the look.

 

57 Chevy
More realistic C-notch this time

 

Waiting for the switches I ordered for my dash project, so I can drill the correct sized holes. As a distraction, I did a quick Triumph Bonneville tank. I Have no use for it but was tired of tripping on it in my shop. Painted it Black Sapphire & put some "original style" scallops in rainbow flake. It might make a cool table lamp.

 

I had to vent the gas cap so drill a hole in the screw that told the gas cap on to the gas tank

Finishing up bed wood replacement in the old stepside. And no, it's not rough-sawn. That's curly white oak grain.

 

I'm going to use rough sawn from the Amish in my 57, thinking about giving it the used motor oil and diesel fuel treatment

 

Started setting up engine mounts for the sbf in the 32 3window, gotta figure out the short water pump set up for a 289. Also got the bed painted on my slightly off topic C10 but I won't post any pics of it

 

Pulled the heads off the 59A I removed from my '40 Ford. I expected a damaged piston, but I thought it would have been the one that only had 50 lbs on the last compression test...

 

been replacing wheel cylinders on 1956 ford victoria 2 door hardtop, forgot how much fun it is to clean up after a wheel cylinder leaks. only one thing worse getting on your hands then anti-freeze and thats brake fluid!

 

I hauled this home...I worked on it a long time ago. Now it needs to get back on the road after sitting for several years. 6 cyl 4 speed.

 

I took a couple of weeks off from working on my '31 and spent the time cleaning and rearranging the shop and installing my new lift. Now I can get back to the coupe.

I put used motor oil and crude oil on rough cut white oak for my 29 AA truck. It soaks in and doesn't peel. Diesel fuel is very similar. Its definitely not a show finish but I really like its utility.

 

Let me introduce you to Never Seize!

 

That's nice, and tough. And stable quarter sawn.

 

That looks great! A home for your new 261?

 

Probably not, the 235 is in good condition I think. Trying not to spend money on it.

 

Im listening...........

 

Rebuilding an engine right now, so it seems like my parts washer gets used daily for one thing or another. Sitting in one of the darker spots in the shop, I finally got around to hanging a couple 2’ lights over it that mount pretty well under the shelf above the washer.

 

What cleaning solution do you use in the parts cleaner?

 

28phonebooth tell me more.

In my experience a matchhead sized dollop of Never Seize will cover the part, your hands, the front of your shirt, the eyebrow you just scratched, the doorknob on your way into the house, and the faucet handle on whatever sink you choose to wash up at. Your wife will discover it on the hand towel, the toilet flush handle and your pillowcase.
That shit is like a visiting relative.... it NEVER goes away!

 

What am i working on? Well i’ll tell ya… well maybe not it’s a little o/t. Either way, i’ve got to pull the body back off the frame then cut the frame in two to correct a little mis-alignment issue. I have found the proper measurements so this time it should go together where it should be

 

Working on my 50 Buick trying to get the front clip to fit right after doing a Camaro subframe.

 

Thanks 67drake

Your absolutely correct, in my younger days I was less attentive and did have a problem with it myself. I was unsure about the name you used as in my neck of the woods we called it anti-seize, you can tell as I advance in age I sometimes have a word association block and identical substance's called by different names make me go duh.

 

Looks like me...
