nice score, keep up the good work

 

Thanks alot !

You are welcome, I hope it helps.

Thanks Matt ! I'm sure I'll see you in Detroit

 

I forgot to add I've made good progress on the ladder-bar crossmember in the last few days I should have some update pics 2morrow night.

 

Well I finally stopped working i he garage long enoughto post a few pics. I got the ladder bar crossmember all measured out where it needed to go and went from there.







It ended up needing to be right where a lightning hole was in the boxing plates so I had to fill one on each side.



I made some pltes to box the x member on the inside where the tube goes through, and finished the radiuses on the ends with some 1/2 inch strips welded in and ground.

 

here it is all welded up and finished(at least on the top side)







Then I got the rearend ready to install.




I dressed up the brackets a little by softening the edges.

 

I then set up the housing and centered it and set the pinion angle and tacked everything in place.





today I finished welding all the brackets on the housing and added gussetts with a few lighting holes.







Thats all for now I,ll be at the Detroit Autorama tomorrow , say hi if you see the Hotrod****.

 

Nice craftsmanship.

 

Thanks Roothawg I appreciate it!

 

I finished welding the underside of the x member and decided to notch the front rails for spring clearance last night.

 

How are you going to mount the spring?

 

I'm going to mount the spring off of the radius rods.

 

Lookin' good!

 

nice work

 

Thanks guys! I just got my BMW steering box that I got off e-bay for 22.50 rhe other day. Plans are for cowl steering,I'm just starting to mock up the front suspension to get it all figured out.

 

WOW! Nice score! Keep us posted on what you set up. If it's anything like the rest of the work you're doing so far, I'm sure we'll be proud.

Keep up the good work!

Dude, you ****!! I thought Kevin and I did good at just under 100!

Everything is looking real nice!

 

HA I went on egay just after talking to you guys and sniped one Thanks dude ,anymore pics of your build?

 

I found some more pics of some sheetmetal repair I did on the lower door posts(b pillar) they were rusted out. Also the doors had some rust through on the bottom corners and the inner frame work that neede repairing.





The drivers door top was wrapped around the hinge at one time and the top of the door was pretty messed up . I got to looking at an extra p***enger door I had cut up for the lower patches and realized the doors are mirror images side to side . All I needed to do was cut it off and fill the hinge slot and cut it in the other side.Henry was a pretty smart guy having parts that would work side to side with little changes 9at least on the 28/9





had to patch the lower cowl a little too

 

Nice work Kevin (now that I can finally SEE IT ) Is this your first time doing tig? I need to see this thing in person SOON!!!

 

Thanks Eric ! Yeah I pretty much just started tig welding last summer.You cut that roof of your 50 ford yet?

 

No not yet. I still don't have power in the barn. The barn is my top priority while I'm laid off.

I have some of the sheetmetal for the truck and will probably order the rest soon. I can work on it til I figure out the car stuff.

I may have found a roof for the car. I'm keepin my fingers crossed the guy doesn't want a fortune for it. I can also start to setup the ch***is on the car before body work.

It's kinda cool to have 2 projects so I can go back and forth as I have parts. I just wish I had twice the space.

Eric

 

Great job. Thanks for all the pics. It is really fun to see. Do you have a flathead for it ?
