Projects What did ya get done this weekend?

Did more frame welding on my '36 Coupe.
It need additional boxing around the steering gear.
It displayed some weird flexing there last summer. It gave the feeling the steering gear was getting sloppy.
Yesterday I ran the welding tank down to empty so I need to refill it before I can do any more mig work on the coupe.
Also yesterday my backup compressor ( a 1968 Craftsman) stated hissing moisture out of the tank.
Yep.........it developed terminal rot!
Only a tiny pin hole but still..............
Has anyone on the HAMB ever successfully welded one up?
I could almost say it's nearly invisible but who knows how large the hole will grow when I prep it with a grinder.
Late last night I unpacked my new surfboard and waxed the piss out of it.
Next month I'm visiting my brother in law in Costa Mesa and the were driving to Ventura to surf with an old friend.
Hope the water is warm.
Where's a good surf spot in Ventura?
Hate crowded beaches!

 

Spent 3-4 hours applying the front end vinyl on my Busch car on Friday night, spend all day with the kids and their sports stuff on Saturday and my buddy Bart and I replaced the rods & jets on both carbs of the 40 Sedan and she now purrs like she is supposed to!

 

done some more work with my son on his Roadster

 

Not much, I have had a virus and my 2 year old had stomach problems all weekend. I managed to sand and primer the T radiator shell and that was the total of it.

started taking the '49 down to bare metal. Long process ahead.

 

Got my rear axle cut out from under the junk LTD for my truck and started cleaning out shop for space to disassemble. LONG Process.

Imagine for a moment a 40' X 40' building with vintage parts, tools, and equipment completely covering every surface as to not be able to walk around, see the floor, or see the tables. All of it you want to keep, and all, well most, is useless. That is the delema i'm in. So far i've hauled out 3 full pickup loads of junk out and i'm just getting in the door.

 

I got the steering in and the engine back in.

 

I put the Moser rearend and Hotchkis Suspension and Swaybars in

 

Did you recently get that off of Craigslist? Little Hemi right? I thought seriously about going to look at it, but was afraid I would end up buying it.

Looks good.

 

I installed a lokar shifter, new ignition, 3 inch lowering blocks and a walton master cylinder setup. Probably not much to you guys, but as a beginer I was pretty pleased with myself.

 

Sounds like a good weekend to me.

 

pickup up my new roadster body, woohoo

 

....also got Woody's other air cleaner polished up and helped him install the cam bearings in his girl's '48 Merc block. Still had time for a nap! Amazing! pigpen

( I know... the holes. Don't ask.)

 

Yea got it off CL but it's a poly not a hemi

 

got my F100 on the road.

 

I also made some progress on the tune situation.

 

Started rebuilding the Rochester 2G:s on my Cad 390", one down (almost) - two to go.

 

12v conversion on my 55 lincoln, any car that has a factory start button is sweet.

 

Pulled that rusty T body out of the back yard and made it a roller, channelled it 8 inches....

 

Painted the Merc last night (technically no longer the weekend, but what the hell).

 

got the brakes done

 

Pulled the front sheetmetal and subframe out this weekend so that I could sandblast and paint it..

 

Spent the entire weekend re-roofing the shop. By myself. What fun and easy work roofing is! I'm thinking of a career change to become a roofer!

 

That Sucks!!!

 

Me and my buddy busted our asses and we got my perimeter frame done for the 37 GMC .

 

Hit a swap meet and scored a set of dirty Edelbrock no-hole valve covers for my 283....$60!

Got a set of Howard small journal SBC aluminum rods without the caps....$30. Thinking about some trick brackets for the truck or maybe a papere towel roll holder for the shop! Who knows?!?!
