Technical What are you working on?

You’ll have it up and running, plenty of time.

Checking how well a c10 matches up with a c2

 

I've been trying to learn some 3d CAD. My head hurts now so I'll be working on a beer or 2.

 

I see what you are trying to do...radical idea.

 

Spitballing stage for something crazy

 

My brother and I are trying to make a '33-34 Ford frame. Got a full length 6"x4" pipe for $250, split it in half to make two rails. Pic below where we cut out for the first bend and tonight we got it done! (also made a sheet metal pattern and tacked it under the rail to follow)

 

Yeah, I'm one of those kinda guys too...but not THAT crazy.
"39 Ford pickup, '36 pickup grille.


'40 Ford pickup, '37 P***enger nose.

 

That’s gonna be one funky looking C2 when you get done.

 

C2-10

 

I got that. Did you get why I put a winky face? Maybe this will help.

 

The guy that drew it years ago caled it Satans Kart
Don’t know how my school people would like that even though one of the schools in our county are the Blue Devils. So we’re going with c2-10 for now
Today was the first time we actually set the parts together to see how it lines up.
Not bad.
As soon as we wrap up a couple projects we’ll do some more mocking up.
The cab needs a serious section and narrowing

 

I wondered if you ended up with that front end.

 

For $300
That’s a no brainer.

 

Lowering stuff…polishing stuff…

 

That's some nice chrome you have there! I always liked the 51s over the 49-50s.

 

After ordering the new carb fitting, I walked out to the garage and there were two brand new ones sitting loose in a box of stuff. Organized, I gotta get organized.

 

hood is painted. Next is running boards and some small stuff. Then front and rear fenders.

 

Washed the three cars for a local show tomorrow!

 

I put "Bad Moon" Henry J into racing attire, bolted on the slicks, dropped the exhaust, flushed the antifreeze and put a new set of plugs in her.
Time to find out what the ol girl can do with all of it's new equipment, been a long 12 years since it and me have been down the track. Hopefully it goes straight and stops on this short shutdown track and we come back home in one piece.

 

Soooooo......

Which one are you bringing to LF III?

 

IF I make it it’ll be the little Barracuda, it’s very happy at 75-80mph

 

Physical therapy on a three day old new knee. Anxious to get back on this

 

I wanted one of those when they were new. I still want one. At this age, though, it's looking like it's never going to happen. If I ever had one, though, I'd probably have to have at least three of them. One to clone Hemi Under Gl***. One with 440 or 426 for uber fun/acceleration on the road. And one with a 273 4-sp for "normal" cruising.

I'm really hoping to see yours in a couple of weeks.

 

Dad bought a new one in 1967. I tried my best to talk him into a GTX.

 

The cutest girl in my school bought a new one in '67 right after she graduated high school.

You see all these web posts saying we grew up with the hottest chicks, the coolest cars, and the best music. A pic of her and her 'cuda would fit right in there with those.

 

Lane, if you can’t make it to LF-3, I understand, but, it would be great to meet you if you can come. You would surely get the long distance award!!

 

My second car was the first '64 Barracuda sold in Kansas City, white with a gold interior 273 two-barrel. I bought it from the original owner, a retired truck mechanic who lived cattycorner from our backyard. He had helped me do repairs and maintenance on my first car, a '29 Model A standard coupe. One day he traded in the Bbarracuda to Sites Bros. Chrysler/Plymouth for a '68 Satellite but knowing that I'd always cherished his Barracuda, he called my mom to tell my parents and me that he had just gotten $900 for it and figured that if we wanted it, Sites Bros. would sell it to me at that price. My parents offered to lend me the money until I graduated from college and had a job, then I must pay them back. We were at Sites Bros. within 30 minutes of my dad arriving home. I was driving the Barracuda 30 minutes later. Wish I still had both cars now.

 

@atch
If you're still coming in October, it's 7 miles from my house.

 

Always something,but an odd little deal this time!
The lower door hinge screws got sloopy n then came out
My rod is 28A Roadster,and with the mods made to lower part of body{lower 3in. part was removed back in 1959
{ rusty with holes,so as a teen,I cut off the holes and folded about a 1 in. under to give the bottom a bit of finish.
I then had to weld some of lower body bracing=witch made the lower door hinge screws pretty hard to get too.
Vibs over the years made them back off { and a few times,I got too them before the nuts fell off.
This time I got lazy about doing anything for too long=nut fell too who knows,and when I opened the drivers door,it was hanging off only the top hinge.
There's no way to get your finger or plyers up inside the body bracing were the hinge nuts go.
Had make a jerry-rig of 1/8 soft copper wire,around a 1/4" locknut,and glue nut into the loop,so it also had a handel about 6 in. long. Bent that tell the nut got in place and I could at the same time twist phillips tell the nut started {took a far number of trys,for each.
Went around too each hinge and made sure all snug again.
Back in 1959,I had given a p***ing thought to welding doors closed,but it p***ed by pretty fast,even though in would of been fast way. Happy I made them work,even more so now that I'm old n kind of need working door to get in an out and the ladys too !!.
