Hey guys! Just wanted to check in and let y'all know I wasn't dead. I've been in school learning to engineer and stuff. Haven't been able to work...
Well, I drained about 7 quarts of grey fluid out of my crank case... Hope my bearings are okay...
I think it depends on the scope of the build a bit as well. As you can see from my pics above, this car has quite a bit more than normal. However,...
In case anyone is interested, here is what I'm working on.
I need to spend some more quality time with that fender, but it seems like the car might end up falling together soon. I gave some Rusolium...
Meh, looks good.
So, because I'm using an embarrassing amount of putty, I feel that I'm getting close to being an expert on this! Also, I knew i did my driver door...
Here are those pesky pictures
So I got the drivers side looking pretty good. I was ashamed at how bad my driver side looked, so i cut out my old patch panels and found the the...
Probably cant tell too much difference, but i spent a ton of time skim coating and sanding the quarter, probably needs another pass or two. The...
my old man works at a antique steam show, and he got me 2 foot of railroad track for free! Right now, i'm making good friends with the line sander.
Yea, I mean, they jump right to criticism before they even say the car! I will defiantly be skim coating about everything on this car, and yeah,...
Well, I have considered buying a break. For the panel you are referring to, I did what i could with what I had. I ran the numbers, and I want to...
So I want to ask. What the heck is the stigma with body filler. I am currently working on a really big heavy custom project, and I will first off...
Choppin
So last two nights, re fabricated the passenger door. Learned some stuff. It has taken so much patience to hold off and do this right. My body...
I just found some pictures of my old projects. As you can see. This is my first real body work project. Pink 65 rambler- 304 v8 Hurst promatic2...
well, its been a long haul! I need to find another cheap sheet of lexan though. My last good piece kicked in the table saw last night. But it is...
oh, by the way! The passenger window slides up and down now!
Pieced in part of the door skin last night on the drivers side. Im actually very satisfied with it. Kinda reminds me of a one off car build technique.
I think i can engineer the windows now that i have the skin off of the doors. I ordered a set of body hammers, and bought 60 feet of 1/2 inch x...
OMG stevens. This was actually part of my inspiration! I think he took like years to complete his though!
here we go! thanks for the guidance fellas! Buying new sheet metal was a really good plan.
Ive actually thought about using a lawnmower pto clutch for a roots blower, and no, a header is not available. I also really doubt the shift kit,...
So what sort of things can be done to a little 196 inline? I cut out the larger copper tube in the intake that obstructs fluid movement. BTW, if...
So, I now have both of the rear windows in, and both of the latches working. Next up is to do the metal work on the passenger door, and then...
So I've been working on the inside a bit more. Slow rolling with work and all. Both doors shut and latch now. Gotta cut some access holes tonight...
Alright, formal apology. I had not recently read the rules. Traditional is what I want!! Don't shun me yet! I want to make you all proud! I can do...
I am not fitting in well here, me thinks
Well, so how about this, my neighbor has a 91 ford 4.6 he wants 150 for with a trans, computer and drive shaft. What complications will i hit...
