Hi all, been lurking in the background for several years and joined recently. Always working on something different out in 'the barn' as well as at work. My current projects are a 41 stude pickup (waiting its turn) 41 business coupe with original flatty V8 31 model a 5 window rumbleseat coupe thats restored and a Blown AV8 project thats based on a 53 merc flathead. Have spent alot of time over at the MSN Flathead forum and I keep a brief web page there with photos of my Model A's as well as photos of some of the cars I've recently done at the shop The album starts here... http://groups.msn.com/FordFlathead1932to1953/moesgarage.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=3280
Welcome to the HAMB... looks like you might have some info to share with us all. Now.... Slim Whitman? Seriously? You got more garage than I got house Frame and engine setup looks awesome Do the 'Stude pickup next! I see enough Mustangs in "Hot Rod", but looks like you know what you're doing. Cya around!
Hey guys, Thanks for the warm welcome. I have a very cold and damp garage so anything in raw steel or polished, has to come into the house during the long cold winter. Otherwise it just rusts. Call me crazy but thats just the way it is here. This winter I am seriously contemplating ***embling everything in the living room. I'll have to move the coffee table and 'remove' the loveseat but hey... Other guys build harleys in their 'free space' Every year the fresh machined blocks/engines and most other parts end up in the spare bedroom and the ch***is sits in the back storage room on its side so for the most part, it was all inside last winter anyway, just in different piles. I thought about this last winter when I was waiting for the block to return from the machinist. .........I measured the ch***is/suspension and it should fit. plus I figure a guy doesn't get to many chances in this life and if it was up to me, I'd rather have it all re***embled somewhere than to have it spread all about. ...Whatever it takes to keep the ball rolling. +I dont think Hank or Slim will mind. Really/All in all, it only takes a couple hours to set everything up or to tear it all back down again. and I Thought it might make for an interesting photo shoot so....... call it crazy but Ill be there with camera in hand and will try and post some pics (maybe in jan or so). If Anybody in the area is interested in helping mock up the 4 bar link rear and drop axle/hair pins next weekend, please stop by for a cool one. the garage is always open. moe
