Projects Building My First Roadster in San Francisco

Oh yeah! Perfect for that car....got those myself.

 

Check your PM’s

 

Nice @J.Ukrop

What's with the color in the lower right corner

 

That splotch has been there for a while if ya take a close look at the photos.

That gas cap looks 100x better with the gasket great call! I’ve been digging through my cap stash making a plan for my A and this adds some fuel to that process!

your exhaust isn’t really to many bends. Once you get the car on the road and it’s been cooked into solid form for a while and you decide you want solid pipe just order a cheap kit of bends and an afternoon welding at the bike shop ( realizing that could be several places you frequent but any of them would work) and you’ll be done!

Another option is to take the bent section and bring it to your local hot rod exhaust shop and just have them bend the complex section for you. It’s often a lot cheaper than you’d expect it to be.


Lovin it man your close!

- clarification, local hot rod exhaust shop is not meaning a hot rod shop that does exhaust. I find that no matter where I go there is a standard bent on the spot, built or repaired on the car on a lift daily driver exhaust shop who has a boss who loves old cars and is “the guy” for your normal standard exhaust put on an old car. None of this $1500 quote and they refuse to do anything short of polished stainless tig welded sculptures.

we are talking you bring $120 and your own mufflers and go get a sandwich and come back in an hour shop.

 

Joey used flex tube on version 1 with that nice little bracket as a rear support. On my banger, I run dual Porter's with flex behind the mufflers to a similar bracket inspired by Joey. I'm pretty sure he wants to run the flex. Sorry Joey if I'm presuming.

 

His second sentence in the post says he’s going to have them done professionally in the future. That’s why I made the post.

edit: I’m in no way opposed the flex pipe exhaust on a car like this btw.

 

Dang Joey, I’ve been working on my roadster everyday and I still can’t catch up with you and Jeff!

 

Nice work on the car, Joey. I am also liking the coppertone Stingray!!

 

Sorry, I don't understand. Does the pipe attach to the bike and the bike gets towed to support the pipe?

 

he will have to increase the speed rating on the bike tires

 

It a California courtesy law thing. You must hire a person with issues to ride the bike and point the exhaust away from all who find fossil fuel emissions offensive.

 

& The bike has to be as Kool as the car!

 

I really thought he was holding a sandwich sitting next to the blower instead of a rag.

maybe I DO need to get lunch after all lol

 

Ok it’s Friday but there aren’t any new jalopy journal posts over the holidays. So, I guess I’ll just bump this to the top so I know it’s Friday lol

 

Merry Christmas! Hope you stay Warm up there.

 

Hey Joe...........
I got a blue 66 Stingray for my birthday.........in 1966!

 

Man that needs to either be a poster or the photo on the inside back cover of a book

 

Tim, I was just showing that photo to my son, home for the holidays, and explaining to him, "That's us! The photo distills the activity we experience. It is our portrait, a captured moment of who we are." I saw what you saw.

 

Joe
Hope you don't mind a little sidetrack.
