Hot Rods 34 ford PU drop head light bar???

thankyou... looks good to me!!!

 

if you can buy a drop head light bar for a 34 truck...

 

on a 34 the grille is thicker,...

 

Correct. But these pictures give you a general idea of what yours will look like with a dropped bar.

 

thats why I liked the way this one was done, just remove the center sections at the light mount and turn it till it clears the grille... tig weld it , metal finish to where you can't see it's been cut... should work out great...

 

thanks, you've been very helpfull

 

I made my own tig welder,.. perfect welds... so probley just re polish it with the welds showing..

 

this looks perfect to me...

 

Pete Eastwood is a very intelligent man.

 

Pete's also working a real job at So-Cal Speed Shop in San Dimas.

 

guess I don't know who pete is....???

 

You supposedly ran your own hot rod fabrication business and don’t know who Pete Eastwood is?

 

That's ok. He most likely doesn't know who you are either....

 

I know, I know, the right way to do this is to spend 3 or 4 hrs rounding up the stuff to make a jig ...then spend another day trying to heat and bend a the drops to match..and hoping it fits...and hope that the bar doesn't collapse or that you ruin the head lite bar and have to get another one.. then spend another day buffing it ....

so opted for the ordering one on line shipped to my door for 130 bucks..did have to cut the center and rotate it to clear the grille... then 2 little welds and done... also had to fab the horn bracket to be able to keep it on the lite bar..

 

whacha think???

never did find pete... but was pretty sure he would not suppy the bar and do the mod for 130 bucks shipped to my door.... and no I did not have to read a car mag to figure this out...

 

so the pete you are talking about is p wood from blairs that raced division 7 when I race our A fuel dragster "keno bandit... he had a long chassis full body digger "Samari " and i think he went to altered when we raced the aa/bad class... I allways loved the yellow dragster he had so I painted my "las vegas street rod " digger the same color yellow... it was a hanna body car....I heard ... P wood doesn't post here any more because of in crowd that knows more than anybody...and run their mouth too much... but I hear that constant from the south coast race and hot rod guys... p wood did the chassis on my 32... he was the pioneer of urathane bushings from corvette...

 

I never ran this digger or own'd a streetrod shop... I used to take iit to the pits and walk around in my fire suit..supposedabley


I photo shopped this merc and woody gilmore digger in my garage ,

 

seems you would know that he doesn't post here...

 

thats what I thought....but didn't know he was the pete from pete pete and jakes...

 

what about the light bar???did I do ok???

 

My late friend built a fixture to hold the spread and angles at the fenders. Put it in his press and here it is.

 

No, wrong guy.
@Pete Eastwood is the one. Google him. Plenty will come up for you.

 

No, he’s not that Pete, just one of their best buddies.

 

nice truck!!!

 

so theres 3 petes??? and there's 2 pete eastwoods...or , do you knot know what you are talking about...the 2 petes that worked at blairs went to pete and jakes.. eastwood was one of them.... then theres the best friend pete that knew the other 2 petes?.... fuc... I give....

 

pete never drove/drag raced dragsters... and never owned the yellow FED????,,, interesting... I always thought he was the one doing chassis for p&j.... thanks,

 

also, my names not pete....and this is my digger and me in the fire suit...the pic at the speed drome in vegas... got tire shake on that pass at the big end...

 

Pete Chapouris and Jake Jacobs started Pete & Jake’s. Pete Eastwood was their friend and I believe employee. He has a tremendous amount of fabrication talent, and has worked on many famous cars.

Since you were a big time street rod shop owner, I’m surprised you don’t know who these folks are. Even after you claimed that Eastwood built the chassis for a car of yours. Oh well.
