There sure were a lot of 26/7 T Buckets back in the day. Just don’t see them done that way much today.
(Sigh) If you have to ask…
You’ll have to ok through the other AMBR and GNRS threads. There are photos of it. And by the looks of the display, it was in R&C years ago.
I understand the sentiment but don’t think there needs to be a parallel AMBR award just for those of us with shallower pockets. We can enter our...
Rusty1, the dice have a large flat base under the carpet, and a small curved pad on top for the tire.
That full fendered car was my sentimental pick, and that was before I knew the story. Very cool!
I’d guess most of the early AMBR winners were driven. Heck, they may have been driven to the show! Rich Guasco won in ‘61 and has been driving his...
There is some sort of obstruction in the area of the gun handle/gooseneck. Probably the liner. It may be kinked or broken. You are going to have...
Sadly, egos and/or political infighting at the airport shut down the ‘23 event. And the airport won’t or can’t host such an event again. There has...
I have seen hood panels and upper rear side panels of some vans used as the corners of a body.
The bead being that tall could mean too much wire feed speed, and/or too slow travel speed, and/or too low angle. Stand the gun up more (so you...
Whippet good!
I love the depth on those, great work McPhail!
The Gilmore is more or less between Kalamazoo and Battle Creek, that’s where motels will be.
I’m guessing Kerrymc was asked to tone it down a little? No girls?
I like that speedster! Looks like he’s still trying to figure out the headlight and fender mounts.
Dig the wheels on Moriarity’s kart, ala Pontiac 8-lugs.
I just checked and American Torch Tip website shows the Hobart style contact tip 379304 for .030 wire. Call or email them.
Proper terminology will probably help in the OP’s search. It is a gun, not stinger, lead or whip. The part the contact tip screws into is called...
I have an old Handler as well, and yes, the gun is Piecemaker 14A. I worked for a welding supply for 40+ years (retired almost 2 years ago). The...
Contact tips are like auto parts; Chevy parts don’t fit Fords. Threads, lengths and diameters are generally different from one brand to another....
You really need the components you intend to use. And remember, the frame will not be level when the car is finished. It will be on a rake. So...
Slip-stitch, that is really cool! Any plans for more projects?
That looks like the plenum connects all 4 carbs, so it could be drilled and tapped at the rear, or even underneath, out of sight.
Bird used to sell T bucket kits, mini bikes, etc. I remember the ads in the old magazines.
The front fender lines up with the reveal on the frame rail. If you move the fender forward, the frame should be lengthened somewhere in the...
Like Happydaze says, I have a great idea but wait to do it. Eventually I come up with a better way, and usually simpler too. And I get all hung up...
I don’t think anyone sneers at oxy/acet welding. They sneer at brazing. Not the same thing.
My memory says JS was almost exclusively 56-7 Chevy, full frame.
Separate names with a comma.
