We do what we do for all car guys buddy

 

And the HAMB just grew by 1...

 

welcome Norm !!!

 

Welcome Norm!

Cool . . . how 'bout that, Jerry! Of course, you probably have the original mag. Photos by George Barris.

 

Deja vu (all over again).

 

LOOKING GOOD I will come see thrm tomorrow after you have the paint on

 

Base/clear.

 

Custom 5" blocks. Now we need the u bolts. We're closin' in on all these loose ends.

 

Many hours on details. The photog. is coming out thursday for a magazine shoot.

 

No pressure !!

 

keep up the great work Jer !

 

Dont forget to get me a copy to read ok

 

The correct steering wheel, and spotlight handles installed. Iv'e been unable to find the bullet for the center of the wheel.

 

niceeee, my brother used to have one of those in his 53 merc. Just wondering, did Conway have any kind of adapter to adapt the mercury steering wheel to the skinny shoebox steering column.

 

It slips right on.

 

i i know the splines are the same..i was referring to how the middle of the horn ring has a bigger diameter than the diameter of the steering column tube. 49-50 ford steering wheels are round in the back while 51's the steering column has a separate piece to meet up to the 51 steering wheel which isn't round on the back..I was wondering if conway used a 51 ford column...

 

Jer, won't some of the bullets they sell for hucaps work ? Any clue to what Jr used originally .

 

don't we all work better under PRESSURE ??!!
Good going Jer.....we've all got faith in ya and a big thanks to Norm,too.

by the way here's a pic of the old CREW @ Billys' birthday bash a few years ago.....hope you enjoy

 

I looked at all the hub cap type bullets Rob.

Bullets (hubcaps) on a stick.

"little miss sunshine".

 

any luck on coming up with a size for the center bullet for the steering wheel ? I like whats being shown, simple top notch Jer !

 

I need a 2 1/4" dia small bullet for that wheel. The smallest iv'e found is 2 1/2".

 

Can you trim the bottom edge of the 2 1/2" bullet till it becomes 2 1/4" in diameter?

 

Good question. In talking with Jr about this he simply said that it was a Cal-Custom cast bullet. The type that you use in grilles. I would be concerned that I would destroy the mount for it by cutting it down.

 

I've cut down one of those cast bullets down before worked out great

 

how's the package tray coming?

 

Iv'e ordered 2 bullets to cut down.

Bob's coming out tomorrow Dave.

 

I think we have finally got the stance right with the 5" blocks. The skirts really came around with that slice and, they tuck in real nice to the body (Eric) like they should.

 

Fanfuckingtastic, Jerry!! Absolutely beautiful, so cool to have the car of your dreams become a reality! Awesome build!! Have a great time at GNRS, wish I (me and 10,000 other yahoos) could make it.

 

looking really great Jer !

 

Oh!!! And this happened!
