Technical What are you working on?

A couple of Merc chops...

 

Building my louvre press. Will do a build thread when its finished. Glen

 

Very Cool ! JW

 

Working on a Model A frame to stuff a 303 Oldsmobile and Ford truck 3 speed in. Little 28 Ford coupe 4" chop. I am always working on something. I always try to stay on point but get lost when I look around my shop! Early (39) banjo rear. We will see!

 

Creeping forward slowly on the roadster****embly. Got the spindles, backing plates and brakes done, finally. Also got the Olds rear brakes****embled. Chrome don't get you home, but.... it puts a smile on my dial.



I tried some new exhaust paint on the manifolds for my Stude pickup. The VHT cast iron that I used on the Corvette ram horns on my '56 Chevy came out kind of a brownish gray and got worse with age. Didn't like them. Eastwood didn't like my computer and wouldn't process my order. So, I got this stuff instead; KBS XTC coating. Good reviews (fwiw). Brushes on nice, takes two coats minimum - 8hrs in between coats.
This is the first coat, I guess we'll see.

 

Received the new sub-frame for the roadster last week; just got it notched for the step in the frame and sitting down where it belongs.

 

This. Redoing rear frame and shocks. Looking to smooth the ride.

 

More positive work on the Belly Tank. JW

 

The ‘58 is “done” so I’ve been focused on my OT hot rod. This weekend I will finish welding in the subframe connectors then lay down some FatMat and install new carpeting…

 

Cancer can go and bite ma bum, I'm gonna finish this one.

 

Trying to get my new daily 60 F100 4x4 done so I can get back on my custom.

 

Pinstriping a friend's fridge today... This is the side, I'm not done with the front yet.

 

COOL

I’m collecting parts to SBC my 1950 3100. For right now, O/T Harley stuff.

 

Thinking I'll install the balancer on my 327 engine. It does not have the threaded hole in the crank. So...

 

I was bored yesterday, so had time to add a pinstripe to the stamped trim line on my '39 Chev coupe. Been waffling on doing this awhile, and it turned out to only be about a 20 min. job, and most of that was time putting down a lower edge tape line to stripe to. A little detail, but it enhances the plain body line I think.

 

Working on the door chop fixture to hold all the pieces in place.

 

Nothing! My 51 is mostly finished short of a little interior work and I haven't decided on the next project. Bored as I can be.

 

I got my roadster’s narrowed ‘60 Olds rear end****embled. I’ve got to hand it to Mark Williams Enterprises, they make great axles. Competitive prices, fast turn around and great quality. I have their axles in my Austin gasser too.

 

Got me a shoebox convertible about a month ago..
Will be a mild kustom

 

I finished the art project today, made a 3 port shop stool but currently have it in the house as a foot stool, damn thing looks so cool I just had to stare at it in the house for awhile lol

 

Still plugging away on the Lakester. JW

 

New brake actuator, drop hitch, and safety chains. Now on to wiring!

 

Getting parts around for the winter project, '34 Chevy 3 Window...still need a manual trans and the straight axle and suspension

 

fat tire Schwinn's

 

“New” wheels… and now new
studs

 

Holy Sheepshit Batman!

 

I'm so proud of you though! You actually drove it!

 

Not far enough tho
