Technical What are you working on?

Today we went salvage yard hunting for gas pedals. We picked 2, inch one from an S-10 and one from a Silverado. I also grabbed a throttle cable from a TBI Silverado. We went to pay and the used throttle cable was more than the two gas pedals put together. $23 for a used throttle cable, no thanks. Lloyd turned me onto the Mr. Gasket 5657, which is only $41 for the whole kit!! The Mr. Gasket will work great. Thanks Brother! This is Little Truckdoctor gas pedal harvesting. We also put the rear brakes together and rear shocks on. This is Little Truckdoctor installing shocks.

 

I think pretty soon little truckdoctor is gunna be big truckdoctor

 

I've been working in the trunk...

Gas can mount (some insurance since my Moon tank is probably a little too small)...



And a trunk-mounted battery tray...



I love seeing all the work folks are posting!

 

Lumpy, he’s 6’3” and only 14!!

 

Started screwing the big Pontiac back together

 

I unloaded the garage then put it back in a different order, wore my ass out.

 

Hey Phil , Is just the Lube-Atory heated or the whole garage?

 

Just the back part that used to be a one bedroom apartment, I'd go broke trying to heat the rest of it, to damn cold in Buffalo

 

Its getting cold here...nothing like Buffalo . Just wondering if you have a warm place to build hot rods in the Winter. Holiday re runs suck

 

It's not a huge space but has gas forced hot air, 8.5 ft ceiling and insulated, the 57 looks pretty big in that spot after the Henry J and the 41 was in there.
I keep it around 50 degrees constant but do turn it up a bit when I'm out there working, 50 feels like 100 when it's 10 below zero.

 

You need more stuff.

 

Like a hole in the head

 

Spent the last few Saturdays polishing out my M21 don't ask why it might be a few to many beers I don't now.

 

Wow, nice work on the Muncie!
What is it going in, what shifter are you using?

 

You're a friggin' lunatic!!! Looks great Man!

 

That is classy!

 

Finished up my Flamethrower and got some fuel line layout taken care of on the intake.

 

Working on updating my EB9A with a tach converter so that my Flamethrower ignition will work with the Sun10K tach. Still need to solder the connections.

 

The test drive on the 41 yesterday went pretty good, I'll have to get used to the new wider shifter that's in my leg zone a bit. It'll be a long 6 months waiting to drive this beast again.

 

Working on stance and bed height.

 

Finally got some of the chrome bolted on this old fiberglass front clip, now got to move the front clip mounts for the grill to clear the frame when it flips "1 step forward = 2 steps back"

 

Worked on this today.....while I appreciate bangers and flatheads , I'll take an ohv V8 any day of the week

 

Going into my 35 olds behind my 303 rocket most likely a hurst shifter.

 

Recycling an old race car exhaust I found for 50 bucks to fit the hemi. A big block chevy’s exhaust ports are a half inch further apart so surgery and rearranging of piping is in their future.

 

After I removed the fender strut rods on the blue 57 bed, I worked on getting marbles out of spray cans today, no reds.

 

Made a light for my house out of an old gas pump globe and a slice off a cherry log from a tree that fell down.

 

Helped @G_Don aka Gordie box his model A frame. He's just tacking the plates in here. We leveled it and tied it down before he skip welded it all together. Came out bitchin but my old ass is beat...

 

I wish I lived near : friends labor is free

 

While I was helping Gordie my pal Larry was building a trans tunnel for my Tempest

 

There is definitely something to be said for this wish. I can occasionally bribe one of the wife's boys into helping out, but it's tough when you aren't from the area originally and live in the middle of nowhere.
