The Jig is Down, Let's Go for a Ride!!

After many hours, we go for a ride

 

I don't recognize the shop or the dude sitting next to your Dad. I've been wondering who the seat belongs to since you posted photos of it. I forgot to ask you on Sunday.

 

Ahhhhhhh........nothing like spending some quality time with pop's dream cruising in the shop and hopeing for a fast Spring!!

 

Well it's not the guy seating next to my Dad.... that would be Our goodfriend and great helper
Jeff..

 

So whos shop is it???

 

Wha??

ours...haahahahaha??

 

I know better then that.

 

Are You Serious!!!??

 

I recognize the yellow hot rod as the one that was on the hoist BUT I can't place the walls and the stuff leaned up against it.

 

What are you using for tierod ends. I like them! I've got one on my 32 but got it in a pile of junk. Early GM?
Clark

 

Homeaid....

 

They sure look a lot like Model A...they're not?

Do you have any pics you could post of the center crossmember in that frame? It looks really neat.

 

You guys do such great work its rediculous.. It really is.

 

Thanks for the update pics. I always tune into your posts...I dig the attention to detail.

Are those 32-34 spindles? If so, what king pins/thrust bearings did you use?

Why the long tie rod end? Was is for clearance or just for looks? It's neat that you won't really see the clamp when the wheels are straight.

Thanks again,

Neal

 

Amazing as allways you guys! you allways throw a twits into every thing new i love it.

 

Matt, You guys are gonna leave it like that right? It'd be a shame to to a body on that ch***is!

 

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

It's ok. If your into that really cool, absolutely traditional, super bad *** hot rod type of build. At least it has the right motor in it!

 

Thanks guys!!

The tie rod ends were laying around for the last 20 years and were screaming to go on this ch***is, but the clamp was interfearing with the wishbone and draglink. So added a foot welded ground machined....I think they turned out cool

Neal they are the early spindles, as for the bearings, I donno,
My customer bought them from the early V8 garage and had them sent..they are VARY thin two piece deals, neat...ackermen has been redone and works good.

B***, here is another post with more pics: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=78911



Hey Pat!!! want ta paint it????hahaha seriously?

 

Sweet! Just like your lovin'.

 

yum.........does anyone one make edible hot rods....

 

Yeah, thats the only problem with that ch***is...

They have to put a body on it eventually

 

Matt, so let me ask you, is this the frame that was sitting on the jig a couple of weeks ago? If so, you guys are really cranking on this build. Looks great!

 

Yeah Denise, that's the one...It's sitting where the jig has sat for the last ten years!!

Rudy the body's going on this Saturday, I'll post pictures of that too

Cool thing being with the jig blown apart, the legs went to storage and the beams are under my Buick!!!!yeah!!!

No excuses now I guess!!!

 

I didn't think you could get any ***ier. Then you go all GQ on us with the short hair and ****! Boy am I ready for that ride!!!

 

Well no **** then, that's why the "space" in the photo didn't look fimiliar

 

I am in love...

 

Hey Matt if that jig is lonely I have a set of rails you can throw in there.

 

The jig is not lonely, it is spending some quality time with my Buick project, which is currently in the sixth year of my 5 year plan.
