Technical What are you working on?

When I put the 9 inch in mine I thought the stock angle was a little extreme so I put the new mounts a little more inboard.
Now of course that means a shorter shock but with the lowering springs I needed a shorter shock anyways, so now I need a shorter shorter shock. Lol

 

Removed all the transverse rear suspension and converted the '41 Merc to coil springs and tube shocks. Springs are Tru Coil 13"x5" 150#/in from Speedway, and mounts are generic circle track stuff with homemade brackets to mount them. Rides great!

 

cavman be aware that after the races, Salty drinks beer with the best of us, Wisconsinibly of course

 

I worked on flattening out several punctured holes, not sure what was going on there but both sides of the bed rail. Some of them were right next to the rolled round tube on the underside making it a little tricky to get to.

 

I file fit all my piston rings today. Fun for me, no fun pics for you.

 

My least favorite engine building job. oh wait....I forgot spiro locks.

 

No contest. It’s Spiro locks. Only time I feel like throwing a piston through the garage door.

 

Attacking the dents in an otherwise pretty decent cab so I can get my 48 together to drive it to Victoria in July. A local rodder donated the cab to the project to get me going. He bought another cab for a yard art project and this one came with it unknown to him.

 

Made up the fuel lines on the Pontiac. Merry Christmas guys

 

Looks great , Merry Christmas buddy. I like that Pontiac!

 

Merry Christmas to you too!

 

Lumpy, you are quite the plumber! That looks great. Merry Christmas!

 

Merry Christmas to all you gear heads.

Working on frame. Should be a roller next week. Working out wheelbase. 114 inches.

 

Does an oil change and a new thermostat count? I’m lucky enough to drive my hot rods year ‘round as daily drivers.

 

Merry Christmas everyone! We are privileged to be able to enjoy all this hot rod stuff. Wishing all of you the best in the new year.

 

I’m tryin to make this year. Thank you and Merry Christmas to all !

 

Merry Christmas fellas

 

Merry Christmas to you too!

 

What am I working on? Dinner for 12. Merry Christmas!

 

Getting my buddy's 30 coup figured out.

 

Finishing some details on the front frame then the body will be coming off to detail the chassis; hopefully in the next week or so. The plan is to have it be a roller reassembled in the spring. We shall see.

 

I didn’t hear my phone ring.

 

Good one Johnny!

 

Had that line used on me years ago. What the occasion I mentioned was, I don’t remember. But I sure recall that line.
