Progress!!! I haven’t posted in a bit. Project car time has been limited between work, house projects, and taking care of family. Still have to...
[ATTACH] These are the profile does I used and abused to make my front cowl. It took several attempts to make one that I was happy with.
The profile hammer frame itself is fine in 1/4”. The driven arm seems to be the problem. I’ve made it in 1/4 and 3/8” both struggle. It keeps...
Haven’t had a lot of progress on my coupe in the last couple weeks. My 3yo daughter on the other hand has switched from saying “daddy’s hotrod” to...
got a day of welding [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Very cool
My wife and daughter went up north for a couple days leaving me home with just the dog for Tuesday and Wednesday night. I managed to cut out most...
Seems like it had to be a lot easier to incorporate changes when there was someone at each individual station. Instead of using a single purpose...
I think you’re right
I’ve been attempting progress but have been at a bit of stand still. My cowl sides required repair at the bottom and a friend suggested that if I...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] I made a little progress last night lower patch panels are trimmed and tacked in place. So far I’m very happy with it. I was not...
I’ve been plugging away making patches. The front cowl lower quarters have taken quite a bit of work, but work but I’m mostly content. I don’t...
[ATTACH] Had an electrical issue with my bead roller I had to fix last night. So I didn’t make it as far on the passenger side as I would have...
In Michigan you don’t build early fords without filling holes ;) Shoot me a message if you’re ever in the area.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Sub rails are now attached to the frame. Turned some 7/16” bolt bungs on the lathe and welded them in. Reinforced the...
So it has been a slow progress summer. I’m a teacher so I’m off for the summer so I had big goals… but I haven’t l completed as many house...
Thanks. I appreciate it and will keep that in mind.
Now I just need to get my foot in good enough shape to get back out there.
So I have not posted in quite some time. It’s hard to make the time. A couple weeks ago I slipped on a step going into the basement and broke my...
I could not find a previous thread to reference. What size inner tube is everyone running for 4.50/4.75-16 Coker Firestone 633500 Bias Ply tires?...
I haven’t posted in a while. Progress has been slow. I was trying to work progressively backwards on subrails but I wasn’t sure where my kick up...
Right now it’s just temporarily held with ratchet straps, c-clamps, and vice grips. Eventually the welder will come out.
I plan to do something similar. I love my clecos. At this point I have to make some decisions about the back end of the frame and whether or not...
If I’m not with the family, I want to be build’n hot rods. Went out for a couple hours this afternoon. B pillars are tight enough to tig weld… if...
Thank you.
My dad gave me that sign 20 years ago. It’s been in countless apartments until it found a home in the garage.
Finally after several attempts I have made two replacement b-pillars. I made a die to press in the relief on the door jamb, that the rear quarter...
The plethora of knowledge on the HAMB never ceases to amaze me. Now I know. Thank you everyone!
I can appreciate the tenacity and follow through, but I sure hope it doesn’t take me that long o_O
How can you tell the difference?
