so far this weekend (as of 2:15pm sunday) i've worked 15 hours (at my "real" job) and attended the mizzou/texas a&m football game. i've got about 12-16 hours more to work before i go home tonight. it's hard to get anything done on a hot rod on the weekends when you spend all the hours at your job.

 

trying to figure out why my battery is not charging while the engine is running. so far figured out its not the battery or alternator...voltage regulator needs to be adjusted but i dont know how....see my other post to help me out.

 

Changed the oil in the '36. It actually changes its' own oil as it runs but I officially changed it. Changed the front hubs on the Y2kota (tm). Oh yeah, bought a P-38 Belly Tank. Wayno

 

Wow Wayno! A P38 tank! Cool!

I worked my *** off takin' my Triumph apart... I got it all done, it's a stack of parts now. That bike looked so ****ty! Haha!
Now I can start making modifications to the frame, rebuild the motor, polish and chrome some parts, etc...
I can't wait to get the rolling ch***is together again, but first I have to wait for some parts to arrive from the U.S....

 

Boxed up,and shipped,some Model A body pieces to No Surf. [ QUOTE ]

well,im sitting here wishing someone would stop by and help me bleed the brakes. i was hoping id get to drive it down the street,but i still need a few things i need to do anyways

i ran all the brake lines & hoses yesterday,bench bleed the MC, ran fuel line all the way back,BUT i need to mount them to the frame.hooked up rad hoses & fan belt,the charging system is working, reworked a gas pedal ***embly(i still need to adress some issues on the pedal,but it works temporarly for now).

it seems like i spent more time running to the parts house than working hehehe

i guess theres always next weekend...hahaaha

 

Installed my new Packard lights in the Cart.. Got a nasty brake line leak coming right out of the master cylinder on the Coupe. Gotta get a new fitting..Junkyarding on Saturday with the So-What crew..

Sammy R., the fork truck guys at the plant Where I used to spend my days use a little pump with a resivoir filled with brake fluid.
The bleeder farthest down the line is opened and the highest or nearest bleeder is opened. Fluid is forced into the system and any air is forced upstream to the other open bleeder.
Dont know why that would not work on a car.
That way one person can do the job..
Since our company bought the pump, it cant be very costly.
Jim

 

I took a look at the small picture.(rather than the big one)
I made a list of things I can do to the cars that don't cost anything.
grinding,sanding,prepping etc.

...and contemplated selling one to fund the other

got all the freekin' all metal removed from around the rear window. getting ready to go back with epoxy primer and plastic filler. spent a conciderable amount of time wishing i could buy 41 sled's 41sled.

took pictures though

 

Well, not much. Got too much studying to do, but I did get to play some with the '49. Mmmmm look at that fine paint job. Interior looks comfy.

Had to work yesterday, most of today putting up new gate, going back out now for another round before dark, hopefully get something on a car done.

 

Discovered a use for my spare Hemi block. Contemplated actually making good on my threats to start my Hemi project......

-Bugman Jeff

 

****,

I've seen a few of those fuel cells before,

where'd you get yours?

I got mine at NAPA in the death rod section

 

At long last........I got my running boards back from Hunley Acuff in Georgia. He has molds to remold old Ford boards. They look NOS.

Got the right side installed. Makes the old 40 look a lot different. New paint and boards make the rest of the old piece look kinda shabby......

Will install a rechrome bumper and guards after Daytona..

 

buggy...whatcha planning physcho...a donation...why sure i will accept a donation...thanks for the engine jeff...gee that's awful nice of ya...ahhahahah

i went junkyarding too...got more custom valve covers, a se to f internationals, a gmc six, a set of cal custom finned aluminum mopars, a set of later poly's (like mels tanko), another cadillac cover, some door handles, some 94's and whole lot sore muscles...man i feel old sometimes...

 

I ´ve ***embled the heads of my 327 and painted them, rebuilt my ****** with new seals,found out that I don´t have no more ****** oil filters and that ****** oil pans can rust through.Then I scored an almost new 5 speed Borg Warner ****** with a new GM bellhousing( fits sbc for sure, but has more bolt holes than necessary for sbc´s. Maybe it also fits Buick, Olds, Pontiac V8????)including a new clutch, new bearing and all linkages at a garage sale. After that I´ve mounted two tyres on rims and hung around on the HAMB. Now it´s almost midnight over here, another weekend done...

 

went camping down at Big Bend Nat'l Park.

found you can get a nasty 2nd degree burn from molten marshmallows....and that a *****shield soaked in cold water makes a dandy ad hoc burn bandage.

don't ask.

 

Lots of Little Dumb Stuff on my 51 Chevy....

Got the auto-canceling turn signals fixed with some general McGuyver-esque rigging

Got the p***engers side door latch working (would only release from the inside)

Fixed my spot lights! (turned out to just be a blown in line fuse)

Installed my Dad's vintage wolf whistle! (very fun and cool)

Ordered my fabric for my new interior which will be done in snow-leopard upholstery velvet...

Went to Chicago for a study tour. We saw the Heyman Corporation, Sears, Hart Schaffner & Marx, Field Museum, and the Art Ins***ute. For cl*** credit we had to find inspiration for a clothing line by shopping on Michigan Avenue/ Miracle Mile.

The best parts by far were the shopping, Chicago Style pizza, and watching my girlfriends dance on the bar at Coyote Ugly... I wasn't up there though, I can't dance.
