That's kind of what I was wondering but not sure what the point would be. It had an electric fuel pump on the original outlet supplying the...
You're right of course! I am not the carefulest guy ever (Robin's badger comment earlier alludes to an incident where I put my hand through a...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] That's a wrap for today. Supposedly, the shop will be going up tomorrow... so the next update might be from my domain.
[ATTACH][ATTACH] [ATTACH] Ok, welds are kinda questionable but I'll carve them up and do another pass. Shitty flux core welder and no PPE......
Also, any ideas what's going on here? Fitting is threaded and soldered in. Is this just a vent?? [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Lol yes of course it's wood - the header is wood in this car. This just looks like a homemade one. I don't understand how Sid had the windshield...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] I have no idea what's going on here. The only thing holding the windshield in was the two thumb nuts on the sliders. I believe...
Wimbledon is a bit heavy on the cream for me. Snowshoe feels just right to my eye- especially because I plan to balance it with some red....
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] It surprises me how straight and smooth the frame is right up to the horns... don't know if I should keep trying to straighten...
Right now I've got these old Ford steelies on it. The rears are reversed, done the old (shitty) way. Nobody really does chrome around here but I...
I think I'm looking at snowshoe white for color coat. [ATTACH]
The brand is UPOL, just cheap self etching sandable primer from autozone. Went down really nice. Was the only white primer they had. I think it...
Guy just texted to tell me he found the title to the car. :eek::eek::eek:
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Primer going down good despite the ridiculous wind... Getting too windy for any more so I'm tapping out on this for the day....
I would never have guessed this panel would be this perfect under all that paint. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] Looks like the roof is leaded and... spackled?
It's pretty handy so far. I have been using the die grinder with a wire wheel to get at the creases and seams where the drum can't get. I have...
[ATTACH] Looks like it actually was a roll down window at one time... The cage is in the way so all the guts are gone & there is just a piece of...
If it wasn't quite so bad I would have really considered CLRing it out and giving the old paint a chance. But the rust sorely needs to be...
Had a little downtime today so Saul and I hammered out some little things on the car. I bought a drum sander and was eager to try it out, so among...
Nothing to report. Just out having a blast with my truck today. [ATTACH]
I might be misunderstanding what's being suggested but it's not really a question of appealing (anything that puts this car together appeals to...
On the flathead gen, it is a straight shaft with male threads for a big nut. The A's shaft ends with this goofy cone and uses a bolt. [ATTACH]
Conversation is good... if there's a better or wiser way to do this I'm all ears haha so appreciate any thoughts of course. The armature on the V8...
I don't think the armature is long enough. There are other ways around this but I think this is maybe the most elegant. [ATTACH]
Here's my solution for the pulley problem... [ATTACH] This Model A gen pulley off a junk A generator is the same diameter and belt width as the...
[ATTACH] Not sure what we did but I noticed I haven't been having to charge the truck for like a week. The alternator spontaneously started working.
I have seen the uninformed refer to even shiny paint trad rods as rat rods hahaha. It's our duty to correct gently and not be snobby...
Sid was using flexible hoses (the remnants of which were still on the radiator when I brought it home). A trick I taught myself which I'll...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] These chrome head bolt caps from speedway were just the ticket. When I get some aluminum heads, I'll stud it and then I'll have...
