    Forcing myself to do***ent my build through photographs.

    As most of us know, not every idea that goes through our heads can be brought to life with parts that ship from Detroit, or anywhere else.

    We have to whip these up for ourselves.

    So before this doodad becomes just another anonymous part of just another garage-built custom, I thought I'd give it a moment in the spotlight.

    Who can identify this part?

    Here's a pic of the factory part.

    I needed a larger radius, but it still had to go through the factory bolt holes...

    Not a trick question...

    Sorry to offend your sensibilities, Dug.

    Should I run my all my posts by you before I post them, or do you just like to be randomly hostile to people you don't know?
     
  12. It's a strap for a muffler bearing
     
  13. Looks like a steering column clamp to me as well.

    yes tb33-- bracket that holds steering column to dash.

    1953, to be exact.

    Changing to column-shift-tilt, but like the way the stock column tucks under the dash.

    yeah von birch--

    maybe his was the kind of comment that, if you heard it in person, wouldn't sound totally rude and douchey.... but... I prefer to err on the side of peace.

    take is easy!

    A buch of sensitive nancy's. Wow you made a bracket. So what, I've made several brackets, don't need to post them on here. Just another wasted thread.

    Stick around newbie and you will see some REAL fabrication that blows away a column bracket. :rolleyes:

    Yeah, a lot of the stuff that guys do here is awesome. Keep doing what you're doing, I dig backyard engineering the most. It's traditional too. :)

    So. Cal.....everyone knows it's the hotrod mecca! ;)

    I read through this waste of a thread because the ***le was intriging, my mistake as your fab skills are not note worthy.

    I'm done with this thread. Have a nice day Nancy.
