Well we're gonna do the HAMB style back window swap on my '54 Chevy on the 11th October. I went ahead and gutted her, all 'cept the front seat, I need that to drive back and forth to work. Anyway, I reckon I've forgotten more than I remember. Beneath all the cracks at the top chop seams are a myriad of horrible problems. These are all self inflicted. The result of too much testosterone and a poxy stick welder. All I'm gonna say is I've learned a lot since building this jalopy. I've got better tools, more sense and less personal anguish. So the gameis on, I expect her to be painted by the Turkey Rod Run. She looks like crap right now.
Nads, if you need any help give me a hollar. I would be more than willing to help as a way to learn something new.
Nads: I'd really like to come to watch. I've got tons of great tools, but my knowledge base sucks. I can bring pretty much whatever you need. We've got a Miller 185, a Syncrowave TIG, etc. You guys are still coming Friday, right?
Oh jeepers I just read the title again, that is indeed what it reads like guys. Yeah Tampons we'ze coming on Friday to entertain you all, hopefully. Nathan and Bigums both of you are welcome on the 11th. Don't bring any welders Bigums, we'll have two of 'em cranking, you could bring an angle grinder though and Clecos maybe. I'm going with a '47 Plymouth 4dr sedan back window, it's got a nice gentle curve. I actually don't have the glass, if anybody knows of one and want to sell it lemme know.
I think the 13 year old is about to strike again. Nads is going to do a back window swap - but has no window. You are a trip man! Post pics. Good luck. -JH
Hey nads when is all this hacking and cutting going down I would like to be there to help I'll bring the grinder hahaha
Nads, I know where a '48 two door rear window is. I don't think dv8 will miss it. Grinder what the hell you up to man? See ya at Webster?
October 11th, my house, you come on down. Afterall you're the one who sold me the window in the first place. No drinking until the thing's solidly roughed in. Is that cool with you Mr. Liquer Drinker?
Sounds good to me nads. Not much voodoo just work.trying to get some parts to get going on my stuff.did'nt see much at the last webster did find a steering wheel at the bike show that day .how about you did dv8 buy that roached out t from billy hullit hahaha thought for sure dv8 would have want that one or did you get it seen you've been looking for a t firewall.whats up with that?
yeah that t was sitting there like a big worm thown in to the fish pond and dv8 bit.I know he was going home with that one to bad it was missing the firewall and the rear tub section.
He didn't want rear of the tub anyway. It's going on his modified. We'll just take MLB's firewall when he isn't looking.
