New member to 'computer forums', old member to bench racing. Enjoy wrench'n throw aways into something useable, and love doing it old school. The Super-highway is a great tool in winter up here, it keeps me interested and believing the warm weather will return; now that it has and together with this group of 'Do'ers, I may get my project well underway. I am building a model T Touring onto an A ch***is, drivetrain by '46 Ford truck donation. The major components are now here, and the wife has lost her garage bay. H.A.M.B. cl***ifieds got my attention, and the incredible tech has coming back......Too often. .....and NO, there isn't model A's in most barns out here...either. I checked!
Thanks, for the welcomes.... I honestly believe that being a machinist hampers myself in this hobby....TOO DAMN PICKY! The style of cars and projects that I have seen on this 'site' are very interesting and describe the type project that I have been thinking about building since '87. That was when my dad said he wanted to discard the ol'e flathead from his '46 p/u .....some serious begging, and he kept it for me untill my project became more of a reality (the model A ch***is find). Now with a 'tub, main rails, and the driveline, we are ready to say there REALY is a project underway. Next is finding a drop axel and Buick drum brakes with spindles to fit. I know this isn't the best spot to ask, but I am still torn whether to media blast or acid dip the body. What would be considered the deciding factor? OK, back to work.....yea, I have the machine shop in my back yard.
