I understood what you were saying and it makes perfect sense. I also knew the other poster was misunderstanding what you wrote.
That makes good sense. Albeit minimal deflection, it all adds up in steering. I really like this advice. As long as I’ve been messing with cars...
Been a bit since I’ve been on here. I’m trying to help a friend out with his 37 Chevy coupe he’s making a gasser out of. My question seems to have...
I will have the entire front section of the frame available. Likely steering box as well. This part of the frame is solid. Lmk if of interest....
What do you mean by “scrap the chassis?” If you mean build my own and do away with original, then yes. This will be a complete custom build. I am...
I actually haven’t had a chance to mess with this since my last post with the door. The plan is to use a toronado front end with a transaxle....
If you are not too worried about a period specific axle, a great candidate is the late model Jeep Wrangler JK Dana 44. Narrow it to your exact...
That single statement is the difference between someone who gets shit done and everyone else. It’s all about pecking away and “taking small bites...
I’ll bet you there is a ton of room in this. If you do it right there is no problem. Mine is chopped 5.75” and my 6’4” buddy still has an inch...
Thanks. So you built this frame in a similar fashion as the first one in that you took a couple inches out of the 32 rails? What else is different...
Great job! Any pics during the chassis build on the second go around? Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Fixed the rot. Found a couple other spots I will tackle next time.
Found some more rot that needed to be removed. Also a pic as I left the shop. Other fender mocked up.
I had the 47 media blasted which did show a few minor pinholes in random locations. Likely due to the inconsistency in the metal 70years ago....
Yep, the cabs are all the same from 38-47 for COEs. Only variance is in the grill shell for 38/39. Those had the oval insert but all interchange...
Hard to stay on this while I build a mobile coffee truck for a friend. Made some cold/fresh air mesh screens to replace the old rusted ones. [IMG]...
Had a break to mess with the front lower sheet metal. [IMG] Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Anyone have any tricks? I have searched and know this had to have been covered at some point but it shows zero results. I have an old 47 Ford COE...
I want to get this thread started back up. I am trying to build a 47 Ford COE. Started a build thread but that landed in the Antiquated Forum. I...
Lower bead is complete. Gas filler hole closed and started lower door jambs. Have work tomorrow but should. E back at it and finished with body...
A little more time to peck away at it. Straightening the step on driver side. Also got the remaining lower bead all the around to driver side as...
I got a few more hours in at the shop. Hoping to have all the body sheet metal repaired and/or replaced by next weekend.
Had about 3 hrs to play this evening. Welded up the grill, hammered some high spots and low spots and set it in place. Then got started on lower...
Had a couple hours. First bead rolled the lower piece to the correct profile. Then tacked it in place. Then it was on the the center spine. I had...
Here’s what my screen looks like when I try to reply Remember, I am in the web format to post this image shot.
The latest I believe. I deleted it and then downloaded from the cloud and no luck. It’s a brand new iPhone Xmax and latest iOS software too....
How do I reach out to them? Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I’ve tried everything. Just deleted the app again and reloaded. Nothing. I can send pics in all other apps too? What is weird is it was working...
Only way I can add pics is by going through Web View[emoji53] Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Only way I can add images is through Web. H.A.M.B. app isn’t allowing me to
