This saturday here in Tucson is the Tucson Street Rod ***oc. swap meet and car show. Yea Yea I know its gold chainer stuff but that is why Metalshapes and myself are going to take a two huge truck loads of stuff to sell and cl*** the place down. Its at the wildcat house on Stone ave off of speedway or grant by I-10. So if you guys need todo some parts shopping come on down.
we are busting *** to get the shop truck done for VIVA, just painter a bike for a friend, none of my own stuff right now... you guys need to come up and lend a hand my last two trips down there had to be canceled to work on this truck!
The 32 coupe should be rnning in a month or so and I think a road trip is in order. Tell Ron that the coupe will be alive soon.
Just ***es and elbows around here. Way too many skunkworks projects to mention, lets just say the latter end of this year and next year should be bigtime for us. Good to hear the Rubiks Deuce is nearly driveable!
Sounds like fun, I'll see ifn I can make it down there. I do need to look for a steering box and column for my project. -Jesse
Jesse, what do you need? I have a brand new/rebuilt F100. I was not going to take that to the swapmeet cause I got it to put in the Roadster ( but I would have to modify it to fit ). If you want it let me know, I can have the 'box rebuilt thats in the car already... Steve, the Rubiks Deuce... I like that...
I might have one, if I do, I'll throw it in... A customer bought it from The Old Ford Store for his T, but it blocked a exhaust port on his Flathead, so we went Vega. I bought it from him so he did not have to return it. I have the bill here somewhere, I can look it up if you want me too. ( I know it was not a SoCal kind of price...)
Ron calls it the 227 Bullit Coupe, for the number of times it got shot. ( I wonder who took the time to count all the holes... ) I think I'll stick with Rubiks Deuce.
Heres a stupid question, any of you guys have a Pinto wagon or a granada 8" hangin around that you could part with? I've decided to switch out the rears in the Valient instead of bustin my *** trying to find discontinued bearings. -Jesse
I have one that I kindof hanging onto but if you really need one we can work something out. Its missing the 3 member but the rest is there. Let me know if you need measurements.
Thanks but I need a complete tho, the 7 1/4" in my '62 Valiant is makein noises again(outer axle bearings)and I'm sick of replaceing axles and ****. -Jesse
Oh mannn, thanks again for that one. I've just been swaping it's axles since bearings are either to expensive or don't exist. -Jesse
Ron, thanks for letting me know about the show. But work requires 4 weeks notice for a day off. You know if anything else is coming up? I should give you a call near midweek; see when I can get you out here. Derrick
