Its Sunday Night - What did you get done this weekend?

I built a *****in' little oil seal press tool for my banjo axle housings, ***embled the rear end, painted it, and installed the main leaf of the A spring.

Then I started installing the '32 frame horns in the front.

I want a roller by Christmas.

Took Fri off work and drove my 38 Chevy down to the rattle can nats with my wife. Had a fun day hanging out and driving in the car, when I did not run out of gas!
note to self: just because the gas gage says 1/8 tank, if it hasn't moved for the last 25 miles, stop and get gas!!! Thanks to those that stopped and helped with siphoning some to get me into town.

Saturday started putting the bear claw door latches in my 37 Chevy truck. Going good so far.

Finished the wiring on my modified, it now has all the gages (oil, ammeter, tach) hooked up and working. Drove the modified around town a bunch, and to work today.

 

WARNING O/T

Though I did screw with the he**** a little bit trying to determine the gremlin that makes the headlights inopperable and park lamps quit with pull of the switch that's probably bad...

I got a visit from the Deputy Sheriff accompanied by Children's Services on Friday night in attempt to Haras me and TERRORIZE my FAMILY!!! Oh, and to serve summons of Contempt of Court!!!! The only CONTEMPT I have is suddenly directed to the Defendant/mother(F'er) in my ongoing case to ***ure continued custody of my first-born child!!!! Haha, yolks on her since neither her nor her attorney can seemingly read English as quoted in THEIR OWN Motion citing Court Order's!!! Oh man, CARS ARE GREAT but there's nothing better than being RIGHTEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Cruised the roadster around, worked (on call), worked on the '56 Caddy mail box, I'll post picture later. You guys are gonna dig it.

Went to Ca Hot Rod Reunion, had a great time and met HAMBers from all over the world!

 

moved a mountain of cobblestones that where blocking entry into my new shed at my in-laws house as I'm moving into a garage-less house

 

Spectated at the NHRA Keystone Nationals in Reading, PA... Watched John Force get put on the trailer in the 1st round . Tony Shoemacher set a new World Record E.T. of 4.441 sec .

Unfortunately, all the pros were driving their dragsters backwards- their engines were in back instead of in front

 

I chopped the folding top parts for my roadster! Boy, what a change. I copied the look of the Fred Steele roadster and I think I got it. I am very happy with it, now to the guy who sews.

Just got back from three day hunt at Carlisle swap meet, scored a dropped, drilled, and chromed axle with much patina (and spiders), an Eelco tank, a SW police speedometer, and about a cubic yard of flathead bits and books. Met and talked with lots of elderly flathead/racer people with lots of stories and tech to share.

 

Lets see, I welded up the trim holes in my doors, welded and molded in al the body seems and front and rear splash pans and started building a metal break. Thats about it.

 

Working on late-model truck project for the SEMA show (with Jeff Davy from Devious Customs and some help from KILLER as well). It is a 2004 Nissan ***an (it isn't even out yet) and we used all kinds of traditional trucks to get it super low. Z'd the front of the frame 3-1/2 inches, moved body mounts and channeled the body some. I know that it's not a traditional hot rod, but if you want to see it, here is a link to it.

OGNC,, Dam you guys are quick... that thing is sick for a late model.. How is it for a full size (before your guys F'd it up really good... What kind of paint treatment is planned.. I know you cant be keeping it stock for SEMA....

 

Started cleaning about an inch of bondo dust from everything in the shop. Gotta get it spotless to paint the vert.

Went to the HRR on Sunday.

Drove up Sat nite actually, and picked up a pair of '40 Ford front fenders on the way. Slept in the truck. Baked in the sun all day Sunday, but learned a few things, plus I got a supercharger from one of the racers and I got a spooled Olds third member. The only racing I watched was the last round of AA/GS where the quickest run was the TCI '37 Ford with an Alan Root Ford shotgun motor (yeeha) in the 6.70's. Yowza.

Slept in truck again. Went home via Mojave/Lancaster and didn't leave myself enough time to visit Lucy Pearson's junkyard-- but I did go to two pick-your-part yards, plus Memory Lane on the way back down. Oh, and for those who don't know, Memory Lane has a LOT of good stuff-- but hang on to your wallet, some stuff is a little pricey, but understandably so.

 

I went to Ballston NY for the Rolling Bones Reliability Run. 60+ miles of cruising thru beautiful upstate NY. Then a picnic at Jack Farley's hot rod farm. Great bunch of guys and some very cool cars. Check out the first page of hopupmag.com and you'll see the gang that hosts the "Run".

 

Got the garage cleaned up, well not cleaned up, but I moved stuff around so for the first time in years I can park my daily driver in the Garage. I already had frost on the windshield once this year, and I'm sick of cleaning the ice/snow off that thing every winter morning.
