hey all...my name is curtis patience... 37 years, still single, and have a long backround in the culture...born into it pretty much...and continue to flourish within it...i am a professional metals guy...and i work with the really high end stuff...and the really thin aluiminum...i recently joined up here to try and track down some bits for a genie p-38 wing tank racer i found ten years ago and finally got earlier this year, but as it turns out when i mentioned it to friends everything i was looking for found its' way to me...gotta love it...i had it registered for the proof show this last weekend but as i just procured the wheels/tires today...didn't make it...i am also restoring a '62 bel-air as a tow vehicle and hope to have them both done for next year...i have a page up on the website below that i will be updating as things get done...it's already behind...hehe... ...in and around the hayward area (california bay area) Cp www.juicebrakes.com
WOW, that thing is cool. I've just recently gotten intested in salt flat syled racers and modifieds. Looking forward to your expertise in the field. Welcome to the HAMB.
I like the site. Looks like you are quite the fab artist. Some of the guys would be interested in some bomber seat tech if you ever get a chance. Welcome to the HAMB.
here's a shot of it from recently...i'll be putting the motor back together in the next few months...and finishing up the cleaning and painting and plating of things...
right-on guys...good to be aboard...the bel-air will be getting a nice 327 mill for now...or i might just keep it in there as they make nice power...the way it was built it should be up in the 400's...it dropped a cap at idle so there is really no damage...i'm re-ringing it and bearings...the car is gonna be a kinda plain jane...gutted...and some nice light-weight parts here and there...bumpers, rockers, and i made some belly pans to cross the two box beams under the front seats... the tank is getting a 59ab flat-8 motor...
welcome from australia.. was interested to see your work on that figoni & falaschi Delahaye, my dad is building a clone of the '36 D6/80 Delage le mans coupe that disappeared in the 50's . your site reminds me of the beautiful metalwork being done on his car,humbling stuff. your shit is sick.
