Worst tech ever: Model A column drop

Okay so far I'm with you but, is that a new or used sharpie? I'd say a couple hours invested in that.

 

No argument here. Looks good thou.

 

Is tat stainless steel??
I had enough hard time drilling a 1/4" hole in a 1/8'' thick piece of ss.
I didnt use carbide tho.
Looks good

 

for something to go around column take a piece of soft hose and split it.

 

I love it,......clean simple and easy to understand.

No superfluous info.

 

Looks good. I see you cleaned the blood off for the pics.

 

Kinda has a billit look to it. Maybe paint it. JMO

 

i dig it ! what did you use to engine turn it ? looks like some sort of fitting in the press w a little foam cushion and what grit sandpaper ? i ***ume you used the angle iron for a fence to keep your pattern straight

 

needs speed holes....?

 

Kevin,
That came out pretty slick. If you would have called i have an old nitro rod you could have had.

I like it anyway. Lots of patience involved apart from the vision and skill.

 

Should we wear gloves?.....

 

I'd loose the wing nuts though, looks like they are just waiting to tear your leg open. Otherwise looks great.

 

gloves, blah.. i cut my finger in half and a glove may or may not of helped. hah. but then i was in the kitchen.. naw, no gloves

There you have it. The world's simplest and easiest to follow tech article.
That should get more than a few brains working overtime to build that bracket that they have been putting off working on.

I don't think that looks the least bit like a "billet" item even though it started as a s**** of aluminum. It has that distinct carved out by hand with simple tools look that our granddads may have done back when.

 

That looks sharp! I too am curious what you turned that with...

 

That's nice!
Engine-turning metal is infectious,once you start you can't stop....

 

Nicely done. Worst tech? Hardly, actually not even close...

I don't see that at all...

 

Sweet man. You must be fixin' to sit in the car instead of on the car! That's the way I like it.

 

Looks good......and now stupid question time. Why did you have to drop the column so much?

 

Isnt tech week over??

I would like to change my vote!

 

Yes definitely, that way if you do cut a finger off it's much easier to find it, and it kinda acts like a sack to carry it to the emergency room and you don't get those silly questions while waiting like what's that , a finger ?

 

hah great idea.. i used a dixie cup with ice to put the remains of my finger in it so they could sew they damn thing back together.. laughs.

also i do not see the billet part either.. looks damn cool to me.
