What Did You Get Done This Weekend?!

You know, every Sunday night I read this thread, and I FINALLY got something done on my car. I gave my car a stance, first of many things to be done to it.

We got some three inch lowering blocks for the back, and we heated up two coils. I didn't want to go TOO low, but I'm happy with the result.



Those are before we did anything, there already was 2 inch lowering blocks in the back.


The Youngster doing his own work! Not on a Honda Civic!


Thats as soon as we dropped the back.

And now... the good stuff!





And now the best... All done up.




Now its got its stance. What do you guys think?!

 

NICE, I think the stance of a car is one the most important aspects of it.

I worked more on my Plymouth. I am hoping to have back out before too much of the season is gone.

 

Good job, looks good!

 

I shattered the last bone in my pinky finger of my left hand

 

Relocated the F100 steering box on my Model A for header clearance. Shortened the pitman arm a bit. Next is fabbing a ****** crossmember and "bones" mount. Then I can blow it apart and finish welding the frame.

 

I spent my whole weekend wet-sanding the Burb in 600 grit. Man, I'm tired!

 

Tons and tons of yardwork saturday, then a lot of beer/poker Sat nite. Hungover slightly Sunday got the motor/trans etc into my shoebox, ready to roll tomorrow nite hopefully.

 

got the rear spring mounts tacked on spring mocked to the mounts and rear end slid unter the A mod and started engene mock up in the front but i may chang the whole rear end set up

 

Nice stance.

I managed to cut off the drivers side fender on my 40 dodge tudor sedan. Yes you read that right,cut off. The previous owner welded the entire front end together and made a fip front end out of it. I wasn't happy with the way it looked,it didn't seem to fit right. The tilt portion was welded right to the frame and not removeable. later shawn

 

I struggled for two days trying to make a deck lid for a '40 pontiac. I havn't really gotten anywhere but burned up a sheet of steel. Hopefully next weekend will go a little better. not easy

 

took out my gas tank, so i can put my fuel cell in, cause the old gas tank was dirty and s****ed on some streets

 

I got the brush out and painted 3 rooms in the house... then went in the office and pinstriped these can lights to put in the cl***ifieds.

 

Saturday, I had gone to the dark side and did an alternator conversion on my 56.... Then went cruising up and got ice cream

 

Finally finished the T5 Tech piece I've been working on for a long time (OK, so it's sat for a long time)...

Got some done on the airbags for the 54 chevy. Front is almost done, and for the engine driven compressor mounted. Cant wait till get that thing on the road.

 

worked on a lincoln.

started some work on my 28 Model A body.

 

I got the bed mounted to the ch***is, beat the snot out of my run over tailgate to get it flat again. Bolted the cab down, built a torque tube tunnel out of an old F250 bedside. Started to bend up a fuel line tonight before I shut 'er down.

Still have the remainder of the floor in the cab to finish, toeboards & mount the seat. Then have our gl*** buddy, or cut myself a piece of Lexan fer the windshield. I've got to mount the tank, finish the lines, run the wires fer lights & add a horn. Trim the length of my plug wires, find & swap tires, mount the tach, find me a taillight, bleed the brakes for the last time & road test it.

But, at least I have until late Wed. night, ha.

 

I also put a 7000# single jack on my friends equipment trailer. And went to another friend's b-day party Sat. night. Never enuff time in a weekend, ha.

 

Not a lot, on Saturday I did nothing but rest after driving for 9 hours on Friday to attend a funeral. Sunday up at 5.30am to go to a swap meet. Bought a nice cup of tea, and was home before 12, and spent the afternoon doing yard work. I suppose there is always next weekend.

We put the finishing touches on our winter rebuild and took for a 60 mile test drive around our interstate. All is well and we bless it with a stamp of approval.

 

Had to put a new water pump on my 50 ford--not a big job but it is kind of a headache because of that &*#& bolt inside the water neck---I mean who did ford pay to come up with that bright idea ?????

 

finally got some decent weather and got the rear window and c pillars welded solid

 

Went to a Phillies/Braves spring training game Fri. Hung out with DIRTYT's mom and her boyfriend at a cruise night in Orlando Sat. nite. F'd around with my minibike on Sun., got it running, and took a ride, but it needs new tires and some leaks fixed.
