Projects Going hot rodding

So as of late I have been sandblasting away with my harbor freight style 10 gallon sandblaster. Slow progress but getting there. This is a pic of half the cowl done. Finding some metal work that needs some TLC but it's the Joy's of a project

 

I raided the kids sandbox toys for a sift. I know they had a bigger one but I cant find it. So this small one works to get the trash out of the sand

 

Stopped back to see updates, how's this build coming?

 

Got side tracked and working on a homebuilt pullmax to make home made panels

 

Lookin Good ! I’m a Ford guy , but you gotta love a Nailhead ! I can remember being a kid at the full service , service station . Every car that came in with a few miles on it needed oil except a Buick , the Nailhead was a great engine . Keep it goin

 

Working on body structures and a bit of body work

 

So I went to hang some doors. I had two p***enger side doors and one drivers door.

The drivers door, someone had cut it in an odd place. So I took the skin and top section from the one p***enger door and put it on drivers door.
Then had to chop to fit the body

Also fit the wood header to really fine tune the quarters.

 

Looks fun, good Job, i will follow this thread.

 

Setting the body on the frame and doing some body work.

 

Thanks for sharing your build, REALLY NICE SHOP!...do you do this sort of work professionally? Also I would be interested in following the construction of your homemade pullmax, will you perhaps post this elsewhere?

 

No this work is a hobby. It's being done in the back of my machine shop.

The pullmax build is on a pause as I got sidetracked with another off topic build.
Now I am working on the model A again .... so I go where my attention is directed

 

Came back to check on your build...any new pics and progress to share?

 

I have a bunch of parts locked up on the opposite side of the border. :-(

Waiting for covid cases to settle so border can re-open

 

Cleaning out a garage for a family after their grandfather p***ed away.
The family just wanted it gone and did not know what it was so I gave them some cash for the engine and told them what it was.

1951 331 hemi (extended bell) nailhead will be coming out and hemi going in.

 

Far out, sounds like you're more of a Mopar guy anyway. If ya need to get rid of the nailhead, (what year? ) I know a guy...

 

I have it listed in my area and no interest at the moment. Comes with the st400 trans and a set of new higher compression Jahns pistons.

 

Just a bit giddy as I slowly aquire parts.
671 off a detroit diesel.

Have to get another project out of the way before I can focus on the model A again.
