Projects 26 roadster build; Bang Bang

Wow, thanks everybody. I'll try to get some better pics up soon. Those phone pics kinda suck. Those lights get better the more I look at them. I think they stay. Thanks again.
They are just some random lenses and bezels I had from the junk box. I don't know what they are.

 

Awesome car dude. Sooooooo what are the wishbone mounts??

 

Wishbone mounts are AD truck shackle mounts.

 

Are those front or rear mounts & from which suspention end? Looks damn cool

 

Front spring, rear hanger, if that makes sense, haha. I was trying to use 46 ford truck pieces, but they were just too big.

 

I think that car would look great with me driving it. After all, I am a 1 round draft pick.

Little update, not much progress on the car. Someone got side tracked.

60*360=21600 minutes
21600*(18/360)=1080
1080+56.84=1136.84
21600/1136.84=19

 

wow that's some intricate machine work, especially while wearing a beer hat.

 

On another note, I did manage to clean the garage and get the dash filled. I made a mess of it the first time, so this is 2.0. Tig, hammer, grind, repeat.

 

Thats a thinking cap! We eyeballed everything and did the math later. Never pay for the first one!

 

a truely great build it great the way you have presented each step with pictures love the hub puller just finished on useing your pics as an example excellent saves me heaps you present it like paint by numbers well done

 

Fresh build, will follow this thread for sure....

 

Thanks guys! Most of the credit goes to my fab guy/engineer buddy Pineapple. I'm really still just a hack. Slowly getting better all the time.

 

I WISH I was an engineer, then I would know better than to fool around with old rusty junk..Maybe I could even move out of my boxcar down by the river.

 

Would like to thank you both for the top thread on this super cool T,cheers guys. JW

 

Wow, thanks everyone who is following along with this. We are just some knuckleheads restyling rusty crap in our garages. I wish we had documented Pineapples's stuff. Hope everyone else is having as much fun as we are.
More updates soon!

 

great build thread!

 

Time for an update. This one is a big step. I'm really glad to have this mostly done. Still have to finish weld the mounts to the frame, but the bones are mounted.

 

Car broke

 

It happens... To me too often.

Should make for some MONSTER cornering ability.

You're going to have some monster forearms holding those wheels straight.

 

Okey dokey. Snow day update. We got the steering worked out and need to do some machining on the pitman arm. Gathered up some parts and made a plan. Got the shock mounts installed and figured out headlight placement. Still need to add the headlight stands, but it's looking really good.

 

It IS looking really good!

Looks like you'll be driving it soon. When is the radiator going to be done?

 

Nice build up.... Cool to see the how to's on the build as well, thanks for sharing!

 

Thanks guys. I need to call and see what' going on with the radiator. I told him I was not in a hurry, haha.

 

Cool project!

 

Then he will forget about it. And have say looks good in the last pictures....

 

Picked up the radiator today. Looks amazing. I'll get some pics up tonight.

 

Bump. So where is that picture then
