Technical What are you working on?

Got this P/O 9.3 third member assembled for this car.


Go's in this car.



Going down Springfield way Friday to install it.

 

I’ve only been able to work on small (under10 lbs) projects for a while but i’ve gotten a few things accomplished for my cough chevelle cough cough. And a couple small things for my Studebaker

 

We can just say it's a 64 Shovell so Mark doesn't bust your chops Ultra rare factory big block

 

It does have an aluminum grill and the key on the dash

 

If you need a column with a switch, I have a couple. You can have the steering wheel also.

 

NOOOOOOO

 

Do you still want these high back seats from the 90's? I know you really liked them

 

New ISKY Street Grind Cam In The Fordy...(Spring Fever)...

 

Fixed the rusted out hinge area on the '55 hood and got it swinging on the car. Then discovered the hinge spring is broken.. Little progress.

 

I have a brand new 57 spring, is it the same? I'll send it your way tmrw if it is.

 

Come to think of it, I have a brand new 57 gas pedal also. At least I think I do. And some other bits and pieces from my 57 Chevy experience, I'll send them all to you!!!

 

Thanks, Lloyd, the 55 spring is different. I do appreciate it!

 

Still want it though? I've got your address on the box you sent the valve covers in.

 

No,I actually just liquidated all my surplus 57 stuff. Someone else could use it, though.

 

OK big guy

 

Thanks, man!

 

Finished up the installation of new front leaf spring packs for my '39 Chev coupe front axle. Fabricated a couple new lower shock mounts to make the shocks work again, and avoid buying 2" longer shocks.
Then with my leftover time I dug out my old Mood gas pedal and made up a floor bracket, and installed that also.
Just about done with my winter upgrades list, so last thing is to roll it outside, and climb underneath for a good cleaning.

 

Loaded up a 292 Y in the bus that originally came out of the bus to use as a mock up engine for my Mercury

 

I finished up a collision job today, another happy customer, had plans to climb under my car to measure the drive shaft, and it hit me, that's not the correct transmission lol, Ashley said, and I quote, "well change the transmission and then measure it".... she's such a good helper.

 

Got the ladder bar cross member glued in the 56 gasser frame today, also the cage mounts in place.

 

Well it was yesterday

Installing that chunk.

 

I love that fucking car man! Bad-----------ass

 

I tried to buy that car but was just a little short and just couldn't justify the extra moneys. My good friend Russ bought it and it will be go in his collections of X frame Chevy 409 powered race cars.

 

Setup new universal fuel sender in the new fuel cell for the Henry J, hopefully it's somewhat accurate.
I lost the Allen wrench while working on my lap, looked in my pockets, the floor, my waist ban area, pockets again, pants cuff.



It wasn't until I took it off my lap and put it on the table to notice where it was lol



Later I took it back apart to figure out how to get rid of that tail, since it wouldn't fit in the hole in the cell or allow the gasket to slip on...duh

 

409" powered 9N Ford tractor

 

Still gathering parts for my street brawler truck. So far I have the big block and th400. Blower on its way. Rear wheels and metal for frame. Today I drug home a cab and title. 40 Chevy.

 

It’s not much but it’s the biggest job I've been able to do since early November. Ran a drill bit through the stud holes to open them up a bit then installed new studs

 

Changed oil in the roadster. Went to the parts store to get a filter and was told the filter wasn't for an engine but was for a hydraulic system. I didn't bother to explain. I just purchased and left the building!

 

Glad to see you back in the garage Scotty! Now get on it , you got shit to build!
