Thanks for the kind words. Now, I'm gonna step away rom the coverage of the show and 'splain what I did when I got back: I also share your fear...
Customs, Customs, and more Customs...... What made me thrash to get here was the invite for Custom Cars that were featured in The Rodder's...
I'm b-a-a-a-k! I'll discuss travels with travails on the return trip later. For now, on to the SHOW! CCR being at the Drury Plaza Hotel was...
I posted this on another scallops thread, but thought I'd solicit photos of scalloped and striped full wheel discs, ala 1960s. Please help if you...
Well folks, I have been on another adventure in 40 COOP. This time it's been a drive from the Eastern Shore of Maryland to Indianapolis for Kevin...
I am customizing my '53 Studebaker (53 COOP): https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/53-coop-studebaker-gets-a-major-makeover.1208116/ I...
I don't know if you had seen these: 40 COOP goes to Bonneville - High Sodium Diet III - Please do not post on this thread | The H.A.M.B. and...
Phil et al..... Sorry I haven't updated. Health is OK:) 1**5 C****o Z*8 was shipped to grandson, Sam, right after the first of the year. He's...
I have no pics of the customized '55 Convertible I had back in Cleveland in '63-'64. I did all rust repairs with fiberglass and bondo. The...
Yes, close to getting back on it, but still having cooling system issues on the XX95 CXXXXO ZX8. Soon, and thanks for asking!
I, too, am sorry to hear of Tony's passing. In 2015, Tony and I both were invited to bring our '40s to the GNRS celebration of the 75th...
As I was apologizing a while back, I still am working on the XX95 CXXXXO ZX8. I twisted something wrong and had sciatica hit me on Labor Day...
Sorry for being behind in my posting. Need to get 40 COOP up to snuff to drive it to the CCR. Snuff only means that it's 'nough to get it there...
Other than I referred to not being able to complete 53 COOP in time to make it to the CCR :(, I'm not sure. I have decided to take my 40 COOP,...
Hello again guys and gals... We all know that life is a journey.....and so is building a car. So I built the fan shroud as a departure from body...
I started my engineering education at General Motors Institute in Flint in 1962. I remember in a drafting class I had to develop the shape of a...
Along with the 10 lbs.in a 5 lb. sack, I theorize that engineering is painting yourself into a corner and then trying to figure a way to get out...
Brief, but apropos change of pace..... My wife does crossword puzzles and the like every day. Here's what she found in today's Washington Post:...
Almost ready to make pretty..... So now I thought I would mount it to the radiator and see if everything fits. NOT! The lower hose doesn't clear...
Gettin' closer..... Today, I made the upper corner transitions and tacked them and the other lower corner transition in place: [ATTACH]...
Continuing...... Fabber McGee's video was an inspiration for the laying out of the transitions, but I did it a little different. First, I built...
Put a sheet metal band around the plug and build it as I designed it (hopefully).... So, plug in hand, I began the fan (shrouded in secrecy):D I...
Very similar to what I did on 33 COOP. I made a smooth buck on which I planned to tig weld aluminum sheet. The plug was wood, and the first...
It's not that simple. The fan top is above the radiator tank, so there is a flat and steep-sloped part above the top of the core that has to be...
WOW! Thanks, Fabber. While I am probably going to use measurements right off the buck, It gives me an idea to lay pieces of flashing material,...
Taking another detour.... So when I was carefully mixing up a 500ml batch of Feather Fill, which required 10ml of MEK, I hastily and accidently...
So today I cleaned up under the lift and prepared to wet sand the rear fender, including a makeshift trough to guide the water out of the garage....
Time for a new experiment......The Old Guy's Paint-a-car. I have been thinking about this for a while and many of you probably will think I'm...
I did find that the 1/4" dia. rod was a little too wide for the hoop to allow some needed slop, so I ground a little off both sides of the...
OLD GUY MAKES DECISION: No way am I going to complete the car for the Custom Car Revival in Indianapolis in June of 2024!:( I realized that I no...
