Finally back to it. Got the leading edge structure put back in the hood and hem folded over! It still needs a little more tweaking to get the...
Nope, I certainly can't stop anyone from following along but the starting point is only going to be sent to those that sign up. Can someone join...
I could not agree more. I've been asked quite a few times "can I go on the COeNVOY with xxx". "I'm sorry it's COEs only". Although, I did invite a...
Less than 30 days to the COE COeNVOY on the backroads of NH, MA and VT. Spread the word to your COE buddies. Here's the details.....
I matched that rusty angle piece to the contour I saved in wood by shrinking. It put all the contour back in the hood's leading edge... Coming...
Adding back the hood's support structure.. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
While it looks like we might have had Larry, Moe and Curley on the job, I assure you the only Stooge was me... I could not have done this with...
Finally able to gather enough hands to run the hood thru the bead roller's tipping die. We decided to remove the fence I made because running a...
I plan to cut and grind smooth. I just can't picture 4 or 6 hands moving the hood and staying on a line without a guide like a fence... Got any...
Built a fence for the bead roller. Step 1, check... [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I truly appreciate all the helpful ideas, guys. I think I'll come up with a fence/guide for my bead roller first. Even with that I suspect keeping...
Are you saying leave the 90 on the tacked on 1/2" wide piece? Maybe I don't understand, wouldn't you be looking at 2 raw edges on the leading edge...
I did consider a separate piece and welding, but I'm just not confident enough in my welding and grinding skills that I won't come out with a...
Oh, and why? You might say... The hood is going to open from the windshield end...... The smaller piece which is the first 6 inches of a donor...
You guys are the best. I hadn't even thought about the fact that the contour will be the opposite way once folded over.. That's smelling more and...
I have probably the most rudimentary bead roller possible. It's a manual TDK model that's decades old and has no guide but I can picture how that...
I had not thought of a hammer form... thanks... I did also wonder if the contour would mostly come back on it's own. I'm not leaving the 90...
I am shortening a hood that has a moderate contour. I've done similar things on smaller pieces with a tipping die then a shrinker to put back any...
Actual Brochures, must be official now. :D [ATTACH]
OK, so I've been looking at this on the COE forum: ------------------ My lakes inspired '34 Plymouth sedan build...
I've decided to organize and ALL COE HRPT knockoff. I know most COE guys are over on the Social forum, but in case some are only over here, I'll...
How did I never see this?? Fantastic build!
Apparently all roads do lead to KY. Hot Rod Power Tour dates and route are available....
F-350 Crew Cab generic 89 dollah cover fits pretty well. A little longer in the midsection and it would be perfect... It's only purpose at the...
I found a video from the entrance to Bristol, TN this year... It sure supports the idea of nearly all modern vehicles (Corvettes, Challengers,...
Don't know yet... From what I've read, that news comes out by January and the rumor mill seems to say the next year's tour usually starts where...
Pretty much what I'm thinking... You said it far more concisely than I did!
Great info guys... I really appreciate it.. As you may have noticed, my truck isn't exactly HAMB friendly, it's more like HAMB adjacent. But, I...
If this thread is not HAMB appropriate, please feel free to whack it. Won't butthurt me... Thinking about doing some or all a Hot Rod Power Tour....
