Projects Turning a pile of parts into a woodie.

good to see more updates. Keep them coming.

 

I haven't had much to post because I just haven't had time to work on the woody. I'm trying to get some garage time in before it gets too cold. I'm going to become a dad in about a week or so, so chances are I'm not going get much work time in for a while.

 

Congratulations. Keep up the good work.

 

Yes you are correct on that new baby taking a lot of time. Lots of us Dad's have been there and can recall the attention those little guys require for a while. A Christmas baby, what a present. Congrats to both of you.

 

Congrats on the baby. The car can wait.

 

It’s been a while since I posted. The car hasn’t seen much change. In the past two years, life has been pretty wild. I got some patch panels installed, but I need to finish welding the one side up. I decided to ditch the spoked wheels. I traded a buddy some parts for a set of 16” Willys wheels with whitewalls. It’s going to be a late 50s- early 60s car, so it just fits it better in my opinion.

 

You'll be done in no time with that quality help!

 

Been picking at it slowly but surely. Got the rear shocks mounted and working on the front now. The front mounts will bolt through the frame using threaded bungs my dad made me on the lathe. They go through both sides of the tubing and will be welding on both ends.
