Technical What are you working on?

Picked up my latest auction goodies!

Couldn’t resist for $30 Canadian so about 0.42 cents US. Even works.

 

wear that mask!

 

I used them plenty of times , staring out as a mechanic . Still to this day on my own OT “ disc pads “ I touch front and back edge with the belt sander , a slight bevel

 

Have no idea if I will ever actually use it.

 

Is the gauge for the drum with it?

 

I’m assuming a drum micrometer? No it’s not but I have one.

 

Yes that is what I was asking about.

 

Typo41 was one of the toughest guys I’ve ever known, he’d have driven that there and back with both windows down and singing to the radio! I sure do miss my old friend!

looks to be cheaper for these up north!

 

I even got a few other miscellaneous goodies on the pallet with it for my $30!

 

Junkyard bench seat for the kids 61

big improvement

 

@G_Don got his tub on the road and and cruised by the shop

 

What was the warning triangle doing?

 

Under the seat.
Just hanging out

 

Im in deep project creep mode on our 64 Elco again...
Started with a bad MSD CDI box. That lead to fixing some wiring. Had to pull the guages to get to the Tach. Had to pull the column to get the guage cluster out. Might as well pull the seat so I have some room to work. Shit, new rag joint needed now too. I've got to repaint the column & dash since I scratched them up. With help from my buddy Ive finally got all the dash lights, interior & exterior lights, & ignition system working properly. Time to put all this crap back together. Don't judge my mess...

 

Thought it might have been some structural support! You could probably sell it on eBay as “vintage”.

 

I've been talking about building a set of cribbing blocks for 30 years. That changed today. I was going to add another course but they seem to be near the limits of my floor jack and they create plenty of work space under the car.

 

One of those cheap Harbor Freight wooden furniture dollies is great to store them on when not in use, just wheel them out of the way or to all four corners of the car.

 

I always thought cripples couldn’t get around easily?

 

Making some exhaust pipe pieces.

 

Front floor for roadster project.

 

I just picked up 5 Chevy 6 lug steel wheels on my way home from work. 15”x5.5”, sandblasted and painted black for $125. I want to put different tires on Papaw and my stock 16” wheels are so narrow, it’s a little tough to find any without going to a specialty tire place like Coker. Now to find some 10” (or so, rough measurement), stock Chevy truck hubcaps…….

 

Pics when you're done, @Truckdoctor Andy ! Without caps can be a good look as well.

 

not bad. An oil change and a fuel pump.
Has a lifter/rocker tick. Going to get it up to temp and check top end oiling.

 

just got back from a 2 day trip into AZ , Picked up this sun baked mostly rust free 62 Tempest. Going to build a sleeper with a big Pontiac , T400 and 12 bolt. Dog dish caps of course

 

I never thought of running without caps! Chrome Acorn lug nuts?

 

That sounds like a good old Chevy Six!

 

Cool! I love the dog dishes!

 

And Lumpy didn't even stop by or call and say Hi.

 

Pretty straight too
