This week I made some more progress, i would like to have made more but my local tractor supply ran out of shielding gas. After three days of...
Finished up framing out the lower quarter panels areas today. I have hinges coming, so then I can start building the doors. I still have to add a...
I love Rustoleum I use it on everything. I have even used it on a wooden row boat I built. It's tough as nails and doesn't scratch easily. Great...
Making the most of this whole "social distancing" thing. I finally changed my rear suspension and axle. The new axle is out of a 56 Ford truck,...
[IMG][IMG] I made this bracket so I could use a c10 slave cylinder with the stove bolt. The easiest way would have been to buy a bell housing for...
I finally got around to making a good trans mount. All I had before was a couple pieces of angle iron tacked to the rails. I think this should be...
I plan on getting a different rear end soon, because I need to get something wider to clear the body. Plus, I want to top mount the spring to lift...
[IMG][IMG] So I pulled the body again to give the frame some much needed attention. I added some bracing and plates to reinforce the rear Z. I...
I've put this part of my project on hold until I'm able to machine threaded bungs to put through the frame for the shock mounts. But in the mean...
More progress despite oppressive heat. This week I finished welding up the headlight bar. I sprayed it with a coat of primer because everything Is...

I'm way up it Warren County, on the PA border. It was hot as hell, but I need to make some serious progress on this thing. Sent from my iPad...
[IMG][IMG] Got the frame horns welded on, and started mocking up a headlight bar, but spent most of the day grinding off rust. Sent from my iPad...
[IMG][IMG] I spent the afternoon cleaning up two very rusty frame horns, but ran out of welding gas so I couldn't tack them on. I picked up a...
I don't even see anyplace for hose storage. I'm calling bullshit on the whole fire engine thing....[emoji3] Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B....
Haven't had much time to work on this thing lately, but I picked up a compressor last weekend. Today I filled up the tires and pushed it out of...
I've seen them for sale at swap meets from those guys that just have big plastics bins of marker lights and hardware items without name brands....
Are you saying I should have the lower mount closer to the frame so the angle isn't so extreme? Maybe I should just used tub1's suggestion and put...
I recently found an old article on Norms car when it was in "Lightning Bug" form I guess. Would anybody mind if I posted it on this thread? I know...
Maybe there is some confusion in what I meant when I said 90*. I needed to rotate the axle pin 90* in order to reposition the mount holes, I...

Can I throw my hat in the ring? I have a nice little collection, although my main focus is on garage/ punk 45s and 7". I have some stuff with...
I have a '54 Plymouth that had the same motor in it. I swapped in a 225 Slant 6 and it was a pain in the ass, but can be done. I had to cut the...
Thanks for the input. I just threw the shock on real quick and the bottom hole didn't have a metal insert so it fit right over the F1 mounting...
I'm trying to figure out a good way to mount tube shocks on a '40 front axle on the A I'm building. I have some old F1 mounts and some Pete and...

I've never found anything cool in a project car, but at work I find all kinds of stuff. Just a warning... If you take your car to a body shop to...
