Any of you clowns actually BUILDING something???

HA HAHA HA HA!!!! I thought that would get your attention.......What did everybody get done this weekend? It's about a hunnert degrees below zero here, so nothing to do but crank up the thermostat and WORK!!!....gimme a week and I'll be smokin the snow tires offa this wreck.

 

nice,I been trying to get some work done, i'm reworking the rear window in my shoebox after staring at it too long and not liking the way i had it.I work til my hands and feet go numb, no heat in the garage

 

worked on the benchtop english wheel

Did some work on the vintage mazda (yeah I know)

 

well i put a 3 inch suspension drop on the poncho and it didnt lower the car at all any help would be awesome

 

what kind?

 

Not building yet... but I did tear the front end off my rust rod 47 Chevy...

 

English Wheel: Hoosier Pattern, benchtop kit

Mazda: 73 Rx-2

I also have an RX-3 getting a peripheral port

 

i have a few things in the works , sorry for the crappy pictures

chassis for a `36 5-window







`40 ford converable




`49 ford woodie:

 

chassis assembled, body back on for paint prep

 

Yes, I am.
And I'm more busy than you!

 

boss is at the shop all weekend and he pesters the poo outta me. gotta do everything at night when the old lady's callin every 2 seconds "watcha doin? when ya comin home? my car almost done?" keep tellin her it dont get done less I do it! guess she thinks I'm lyin'.

 

brackets and crossmember work on the willys . . .

slow work when it takes 50 hours to get the shop above zero degrees. . .

its comming together well tho. . . almost have every piece fab'd and ready to tac the crossmember together for fit, then weld weld weld

 

I got the pipes thawed out here. Had to cut an access to the cawl space under the house from my little cellar, then dig a pathway through the dirt. Only then did I see the access through the foundation on the side of the house. Once they were thawed and checked for splits, I ran a new heat tape with new insulation. That was this weekend's project.

Tuesday and Wednesday, I'll be helping a friend with his wife's Jeep. Then finally, I'll start teardown on the '37 IH.

 

I've been airbagging my Olds...I'm about halfway there.

Rear is done.


Still gotta find a good place to mount the compressor.


Front in progress.


Should end up something like this, another inch or so lower out back.

 

Yep!....Cut the front and rear sheetmetal off a '72 VW Beetle. It's getting a full cage, 'glass front end, 2.0 Pinto engine, and longer/wider suspension.....SAND ONLY

 

I almost got the brake lines done on this pig then I ran out of keroseen

 

I'm working on a 33 Packard Super 8 conv victoria. Some of the wood was missing and I replaced it with oak. The major part of the "tub" that the top tacks on to and holds the main shape. Next in line is the cowl. The doors fit like socks on a chicken. I'm doing this for a very good friend who has a shop and aparently the guy that re-wooded the car was of the "legend in his own mind" type. No worries. It's $$$ for the 54 Chev PU project.

Also doing a 33 Ford dash. More on that later...DON'T ASK!! Also scored an offy tri power with the rochesters, linkage, and the intake is fully polished, albeit dirty from years of neglect. Oh yeah, long story that I won't bore you with as to why, but I'm polishing the front and rear moldings for a 65 GTO here at home instead of at work. I'm also getting the sleds ready for a trip north some time soon. I'm jones'n for some serious high performance.

 

Just rubbin primer on the F-1.....again.

Played with the thremo fan mounts and started on a shroud.

Still contemplating the one piece glass, and the wiring, and the instrument senders, and .........

 

this is all we got done

That little guy is good!

 

Painted my car ....twice....and then wet sanded out for a 3rd round....one of these days Ill get a color I like

 

Got the linkage made and mounted on the 2 carbs, Hooked up the wireing on the lockout convertor, strapped up the chassis wireing and fuel line, drank beer, drank beer and drank more beer.

 

i been working on gathering up all the rest of my parts, and making my buddy payments on my old 60 caddy *that i never shoulda sold him!* gonna get that fucker back and drive the tires off of it!

 

My 54 is sitting tight for a while.. I basically did everything i can do to it .. now i just need money for more parts... but we chopped and dropped a friends 50 shoebox ford this last week...

 

I got a good bit done this weekend. Bought my new welder from hoboy56, got it home and did some cleanin' and re-araingin' so I had a place for it and my toolbox.( start my new job next week and I get to bring my toolbox home!!) got my beast runnin' only to find out I have no oil psi. (hate when that happens!). I hope to get a BUNCH more done done in the next couple of weeks (still hopin' to get the call for autorama). Its hard to get a bunch done with no heat in the garage but with 3 pair of pants and 4 or 5 shirts and a jacket its almost tollerable!

 

I got alot of little stuff done

Carbs mounted
Linkage installed
Rims painted
Scoops painted
Plug Wires ran
Windshield frame installed ( still needs glass and adjuster though )

Not bad for an hour here and there... Ohhh it was like 70* with the sun shinning this afternoon !!!!

 

You guys in cali need to go set down and shut up! *joking*

I been buying some parts and getting paint supplies in.
No room here to work and a two month old baby to intertain.

oh and were waiting on 6" to 8" of snow Tuesday.
