That's more entertaining than this is. I'm jealous:D
HAZ= Heat affected zone and no. Epoxy over clean bare properly prepared metal. Some fillers can go over bare metal or over epoxy. Each has...
Quality paint should not have any fish eyes. Go to a car show and look at the high dollar cars displayed inside. You will know high quality paint...
Could be he mean restoring a hot rod or custom with history? Needs some context.
Nice find. I have a set of those but one of mine has a small piece of the gasket lip broke off. Some day I'll repair it. Pretty hard to find and...
Well in between various home repairs and other projects I managed to get some more done on the car. The two main goals here are to get the body...
Yeah I know. I shouldn't post shit until after I drink my coffee.:D
Good eye. I didn't see that. I have Hair Pins mounted like that with 5/8" bolts. Should be good.
You are not mistaken. Obviously intended to be double shear.
:eek:
I think it might be a RAC Greenline 270 deg. Part #355013
Thanks guy's. Yeah, it just kills you when you screw up a part that you have already invested so much time and/or money in.
Chassis looks good (except maybe the panhard bar) but curious why the drive shaft loop is placed in the middle? I think no more than 6" behind the...
Really nice wheels. The lug nuts are a bit strange but do make for a super clean look. Well done!
Killer wheels. Are they Real Rodders Sprint spindle mount, but with lug bolts? What are those bolts?
I'd follow gimpys good advice in this case.
Update for those who may be interested. It took me damn near a month of welding (to shrink metal) and hammer & dolly work to get this rear floor...
That's a lot to go through. Glad to hear your feeling better, and able to get back to working on that beautiful Model A.
Well here is where things went sideways.:( 16 ga. is tougher than you think. Did it move metal? Oh ya. It took so much pressure the 1/4"bar across...
What's up Hambster's. Time for another Saturday update. Spent a few days making some half assed tooling. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Here's the initial...
I'm no custom guy but man you're right this one is pure bad a$$!
Yes sir, I thought about that and remember seeing them used in steel "I" beam construction. Getting them the right size and taper might be...
Popular Hot Rodding magazine was always my favorite as a kid growing up with no money, no tools and not much of car. Only dreams of someday. The...
So after a lot of what if, and then reinstalling the rear axle and 4 link, I finally found pretty much the only location to pass the fuel line,...
Can't tell you how many flat tappet lifter manufacturers are out there these days but using pre 1980's NOS parts will probably enhance your...
This is where the real problem lies. Powel Machine has it right. Geometry. If the geometry is not correct it will fail no matter what oil you use....
Pretty cool story! Car looks great with the black steel wheels. Definitely gotta dump the billet. Can't say I like the interior style but it looks...
WoW! Really coming together nice. Fantastic fab work!
I have to agree with this as well. My goal is to document my project while demonstrating what one guy can do in a small garage with limited tools,...
Thanks for all the updates. Looking forward to the video and hearing the new combo run. Would be really interesting to see some data logging and...
