Technical What are you working on?

how much a pound ?

 

Started the rebuild on the Carter AFB for the dirt cheap Dart.

125.00 to 145.00 a ton..that beast was around 12,000 lbs...

 

actually i was teasing about how much per for the dash!

 

Working on adding a Gear Vendors overdrive to the back of the Torqueflite in my AD truck. I got pretty lucky on the placement of my crossmember and the choice of an 8 inch wide tunnel when I built this years ago, I certainly didn't have this in mind back then. Added a little welded in radius in the center of the frame for the drain instead of relocating the plug. This one has the optional deep sump.

 

I've taken the last couple days off from working on the 57 p/u but the bed wood kit came in today.
I wrestled the wood in the house and the stainless out into the garage, hopefully that keeps the wood from warping.
I'm not sure what I'm tackling next on that bed, probably wire wheel and rust coat the areas that need it.

 

If the wood does warp, you can straighten it out by putting in an environment that will bring the moisture to the level it currently is at, and you can prevent it from warping by keeping the humidity in the area it is stored in at the right level.

 

I think I have the speedometer housing dialed in....this is basically the setup I'm going with..tach just for speedo mockup.....

 

@choptop40,

Please post up pix when you get this all grafted together.

 

adapter plates for blower manifold

 

Dent Repair On Square Car

 

Cleaned and painted the Tempest control arms. Started installing the NOS bushings and ball joints

 

More progress today, my friend Tony blasted the cradle and I did a little welding and shot it with VHT ch***is paint.

 

It sure makes it much easier to work on when they come out like that!!

 

4 hours of shoveling snow.....Want to keep the driveway clear for somerhing that's getting delivered soon....hint hint..it has 4 wheels...

 

What am I working on? To many to list now that the body is back from paint

 

Can't tell if you are grinning or gritting your teeth.
Care looks nice.

 

Both lol

 

Looks better every time I see it, it's gonna be a knock out my friend. HRP

 

Thanks HRP!

 

I spent a day chasing a plug for my generator to aid for a power loss from the upcoming forecast weather. Took 5 different stops to fined what I needed all the other places were out, It's like a pandemic broke out around here.
Hope all my effort wards it off.

 

Fuuuuuuc! That’s nice

 

Cleaning up and painting brackets lately

 

This blizzard has me staying in, hunkering down and studying wiring diagrams in preparation for a springtime thrash to attach the body, ***emble and wire up the '29AA. I'm just thankful that the storm came in as freezing drizzle, not freezing rain and an ice storm, which usually means days to hours of power outages. Woke up this morning to no power interruptions, so despite the heavy, blowing snow, all's good.

 

Blue sky garage is closed here for sure. Luckily no power outage here yet.

 

Your yard looks just like mine, we must not live that far apart.

 

I'm just about right in the middle of Missouri. 20 mile south of I70 on 63 south.

 

James, Andy, it looks like this storm has shifted slightly from tracking just north of I-70 to about 15-20 miles south and heading almost dead east - right through you both, across southern Ill. Indiana, Ohio and eventually into W. Va. and southern Penn. I've got 2.5 inches of sleet here, my sister has 6+ inches of snow just east of the Country Club Plaza in K.C. and my son is just north of you, James, in Columbia. He says there's a nice layer of ice there, too, beneath the snow. I'm staying inside the next couple of days and studying wiring diagrams, trying to figure out how I'll route the tach wire from just above the driver's side window to the negative on the coil. Also trying to figure out the voltmeter wiring route from the stock dash to ???

 

We have green gr*** and no snow here at my farm in sunny Wisconsin. Of co**** it was -5 F this morning.

 

although the only work I did on this was to push it outa the booth, I thought you guys might like to see this. Still needs to be cut and buffed.
