Technical What are you working on?

Little Truckdoctor and I finished the exhaust on Papaw today. Nothing fancy, manifolds and 2” pipe with Cherry Bomb Turbo mufflers. I have never been very good at welding exhaust pipes with a MiG welder. I usually ended up with more holes, lots of cursing and welding it together with a Torch and welding rod. (Traditional?) Little Truckdoctor came over, looked at what I was doing, fetched his gloves and Mask, and went to town. Amazing. He had maybe 3 small holes which he quickly fixed and I’m just tickled Shitless. I know who is doing the sheet metal work on our next project! The exhaust sounds great, and now on to the front brakes and master cylinder!

 

Worked on modifying a set of fenderwell headers to fit Bob's Lark.

 

Working on eliminating rust. At least as much as is possible.





And making some Progress.

 

My best Sanford and Son imitation

 

Pulled the IRS out of the Tempest started setting up the ladder bars with the 12 bolt.

 

@anthony myrick - The '61 Chevys had 4 headlights and twin nostrils, the best of the lot IMHO. The '63 I had just lacked that flair.

 

Best $200 bucks I ever spent

 

Nice, the rockers & door bottoms are intact, too!

 

Put the doors back on and fired it up to test the clutch adjustment , just a little more electrical work to go.

 

Sorta.
I got a better cab and doors I’m messing with
Has perfect rockers and a nice floor but needs a roof , go figure.
Top skins are easier then floors anyway
Current cab is usable. It’s the sons and he digs it like it is.

 

Just bought a 63 galaxie 500 boxtop R code 427 car. Getting it on it's wheels so I can move it around. No engine or trans but a real R code roller. Have to finish a couple cars in the shop then will start on the Galaxie. Was an old drag car. Raced at utica rohm dragway back on the day has 15 class winner stickers on the window. Found a fresh 427 sohc engine and trans for sale if i can come up with the cash. I know the sohc is not the right period engine for the car but who cares. lol lol

 

give people like me who have no idea...what is all that?

 

Nicson side draft with three 8810 Zenith carbs. One on right is complete other two waiting on parts. 216-261 Chevy six

 

thanks!

 

That's my little brother

 

Mike, that’s super cool, it kinda reminds me of the Corvette set up. Will you have it at Lloydfest?

 

We'll see how it works out. I’ve had this on the wall for almost 10 years.

 

Installed 48 Bin Organizer..

 

Can you provide the details for the organizer? is it a plastic backer or metal? what is the weight rating?

 

Built a fresh engine for my convertible, just started the swap.Flathead out, 331 cad in.

 

^^^^Bitchin

 

That flathead looked great but the Caddy will put much bigger smiles on your face when leaving the stop lights

Those are just drop-dead gorgeous. I think an identical set with thee correct bold pattern and correct sizes would be perfect for Clarence.

 

Pulled the stock trans in my Roadster in preparation for an upgrade.

 

Put in the rear window

 

Got another OD. think I’m up to 7 and 1/2 r10 setups plus a couple toploaders and a Laycock set up
