So Whad-Ya Get Done This Weekend?

I got my old intake swapped for a new Edelbrock with Vintage Speed adapter and 2x 94's. I also got my dash fully mounted and my steering box fully anchored to the cowl. Good Progress. Gotta work on the headers soon and weld on the flange for the glass packs. Soon...

 

Got my 58 ford back home with a new y-block

 

Good progress man, no progress for me at the moment, The last week I scored a 59 AB... pretty excited

 

I didn't get "jack" done. Still recovering from my July 3rd heart attack

I friggin' hate TV

 

worked saturday and sunday went to the pamona car show swap-meet, found a super clean 49 ford shoebox grill. the price was so low i couldnt say no! now i have a backup grill! next weekend ill finally get to work on the box!

 

Tore apart our dragster to do a quick clean up for the Long Beach Motorama.

New paint on the chassis this week, and some work on the flathead to make it go faster!

 

Semi productive....Fabbed some stanchion mounts and chopped the stanchions and windshield frame. And started fitting the trunk lid....oh ya, and Chip (HAMBer, got louvers?) louvered up my hood and hood sides...woo hoo!! Cant wait to see them back from Phoenix.

 

got the hemi back in my 31 , ''

 

Finally got my welder in and ordered some parts to try and get my pile back road worthy

 

A.Tribute- that coupster is looking good man. Adding roadster stachions is the trick to making them look so much better!

 

Buffed and waxed 2 semi tractors for the $ to buy some killer shocks from Elploacko......I did drive my '61 to work.

 

I took the roof off my A, and took it around to 57mad's house to cut out some rust.
57mad did most of the work, and we've still got a little more work to finish.

 

Thanks man, this car has lots of lil "tricks"

 

got the headlight mounts fabed and started on exhaust

 

Fought with overheating issues in my 58. The car won that battle!

 

I worked all weekend, but thursday friday (my weekend) I spent about twelve hours taking apart my truck. I managed to get the grill and fender off.

I realized that fomoco designed a bolt that could rust enough to not actually function correctly, but still retain enough metal integrity to resist sawzalls, drill bits, pliers, etc.
The main ingredient of the bolts on this truck is hate.
But on the positive side, I will have forearms like popeye when I am done.

 

Trashed my engine doing some testing before going out night-racing Friday ,damned slushbox didn't shift as and when it should,over-revved the engine and voila;as a letter in the mail:bang,bang,bang...Life is not that good right now,but I will have to qoute Arnold S:I'll be back...

 

Got the Stromberg 97s that I rebuilt last week back on the flatty and reworked all of the dual carb linkage. The cabriolet has never started or ran any better! A big thanks to Uncle Max for parts and his excellent advice.

 

Yesturday we got an engine out and in an old roadster. Still gotta tighten a couple of bolts and do some minor exhaust work, then she is back on the road.

 

Worked on my '31 Model A coupe, upholstered the door panels, and made/installed the dashboard.

Got the gas tank mounting figured out and all tacked together.

 

I took the master cylinder off of the '52 Oldsmobile , thought it needed rebuilt , after I got it off , I found out that it had been replaced at one time or another , it was a Wagner Lockheed , number 4950 , I took it apart and , best I can tell , it was just stuck , cleaned all the parts , honed it out , put it back together , and it works , good for me , didn't want to spend $140.00 on a new cylinder....

 

BTT for the afternoon crowd!

 

just bought more parts, i think im finally about to get my project in high gear

 

Got my new Welder set up on its new cart, and am now looking for an Argon bottle.

 

I ordered a new alternator bracket & alternator (CHROME) for my T bucket. Hey, it's a T bucket and T buckets like a little chrome.

 

There is not a damn thing wrong with chrome!

 

Flew to St. Louis to see my girl (I'm at the airport now) and looks like me moving to Southern Illinois is better for us than her moving to NJ. So now I gotta find a shop near Mascoutah, IL and figure out how I'm getting at least 6 cars and all my stuff out here.

 

I agree, I'm going to be chromeing and doing finned polished aluminum on everything I can as money allows.

 

Changed the break in oil, and bent the gas peddle so my foot doesn't fall asleep.
