Projects what are you thrashing on to get to Billetproof in Chehalis.

Been working on my 62 Merc, finishing little things. So what are my fellow NW H.A.M.B working to get to Billetproof ?

 

wanted to make it in the 29, but that ain't gonna happen. i'll be doing the final welds today and tomorrow. on the bright side, i'll be throwing it back together next week and get the brakes plumbed. the channel subfloor is pretty much done. everythings fitted and ready to go on the suspension and steering. just dying to make some noise in this crate!!!.

 

Hopefully have it back on the road by Friday, still need glass plus some!!!

 

The damn Edsel , had a job outta town last week and now it looks like it well not happen, but I did get more done in the last 5 weeks then the last 2 years so all is good, it should make the shindig in July.
Well just have to drive the shop truck 1970 Torino Squire (and leave it in the parking lot.

okay, been busy painted the inside trim making door panels, gettin it striped, I still have some wiring to wrap up pick up my seats on thursday, it might not be finised but Ill be there!

 

Sealed up my 50 Pontiac last night. Didn't turn out too nice but I'll bring it anyways.

 

keep them coming ! What are you working on !

 

A non-HAMB friendly Thunderbird that will be in the dirt lot

Since I joined this site my pick up is being taken much more seriously so its quality and safety comes before rushing it just to get to a show unfortunately.

 

Still working on the 56 F100. The seats & door panals will be done tonight.
It will be there for sure. Remember when you go through the gates Just ask the parking goons where the HAMB guys are parked. We have fifty or more that will all get together and B S. Check out the thread ( Whos coming to billitproof ) UGOTPK

 

I'm still close but not quite done. Less than 90 days from the ground up on my truck. Still need...

Fans wired
Tail lights wired
Seats built
Couple of small panels to rough fab in the firewall area
Little touch up paint done
Truck weighed to complete registration/title
Road test

And its wednesday... might be do-able!

 

Trying to bring my 63 chev shorty truck but cant get this fuel thing fixed.

 

Good luck! I had two of my long saved guages come up dead and need replacing at the last minute. I always go fuel cell, new fuel pump and guage from now on.

I just heard back from the glass shop... $165 for the front glass in a 1932 Ford truck. I had already cleaned the frame all up and had it separated even. Robbery!

 

I've been thrashing on the Hudson.

Decided to change the grille to and Olds floater with a perforated backer...





I also decided to get off my ass and work on the passenger side rocker panel replacement this week. (I did the driver's side last year).

 

I love this car. Very nice!

 

looks way cool with the Olds grille, are you guys leaving Friday ?

 

off to mask off the the rear body aluminum trim on my Merc and repaint the black inset. and install trunk trim

 

My Garage.... So that is why i'm not going!!

 

I'll be a work wishing I was over there. work schedule changed and I have to Work weekends. Next year no working weekends for me if I can help it.

Right now I just wish I had something close enough to being on the road that I was out thrashing to be read to go anywhere.

 

damn buddy is gettin married in So. Or. this weekend so I can't make it. Was gonna take my 50 fleetline on it's longest trip up there, maybe next year. Keep these project pics coming though.

 

fixing the bumper (bent bracket from when it was stolen and wrecked) and air cleaner baces (so the flamethrowers work better) on the plymouth

 

I'll probably have some aluminum door/kick panels in the roadster. But, that's about it. We're almost ready to go.

 

I'm done, the roadster is ready to roll.

 

At this rate, I'll be lucky to 'finish' this thing before my wife gives up on me and my daughter goes to college! In other words, I can't make it.



BTW: my daughter is 6 months old!

 

I'll just take my time and shoot for next year! Craigslist flake bailed on a trade, so my planned new engine is on hold. For now my truck can only put around town. BUT I'll be there in my non-hamb friendly ride in the dirt lot.

 

The Hudson looks GREAT!!!!

I've been working on this.....hahaha. Almost finished.......I'll be towing it around Sat.

 

Thrashin on the SaKi and the olds.

 

Just came in from the garage. Worked all day on the car.

Finished up all the metal work on the rocker, wheel openings, and some rust repair. Filler tomorrow, and sealer on Friday.

 

We're leaving Mt Vernon Friday night around 6.

 

Remember to ask the parking lot guys where are the HAMBSTERS parking. They have it set up for us.

 

Shawn and I are leaving Friday, when he gets back from work, would have liked to leave earlier but not in the cards. The car is really looking great, I dig the Olds grille. I just can't get my myself mess with my 49 Coupe. Going to finish painting the rear panel on my 62 Merc
