Oh, Highly unlikely .....says the guy building one. I'm DIGGIN' this!
Dude, I'm down! I think we could make that happen for sure. We might have to do that. Can you imagine if we got Roy "Multi" Aldrich's T and...
I'll throw mine into the mix. My '25 TV8 roadster. All 1940.. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I dig it 8-)
It's all good. I had thought about it, but I figured it probably wasn't worth the trouble for what it was going to be. Its reinforced around the...
It's not boxed. It's a mild flathead, so I didn't feel the need. The frame is plenty stout.
They really are. The nickel work really turned out great. There is no other way. I made those specificallyto show them off to look period. They...
100% agreed. each situation requires exactly what we need and what we build to get past that point. No Wrong answers really. We have all had...
I had contemplated building an engine stand adapter too, but 1) the axle weight and length just made me a little nervous to tipping over on me and...
[ATTACH] Update: The Columbias are assembled! I finally got the chance to assemble my Columbia axles this weekend after several years of...
No worries, I'm not in a rush. Thanks for doing it!
I have always liked Nickel, so I figured it would be a subtle and different look on a car like this. Most were Chrome. It has such a nice warm,...
Thanks brother! I appreciate the kind words! This car is a definite departure from my build on the '27 Roadster for sure. Doing a finished car...
So all of the hardware for the rear axle is unpainted stainless with finished heads, or in the case of the backing plate stuff, Grade 8 that I'll...
Washington Blue is a really sharp color. I painted all the springs assembled. I didn't see the need to paint them separately as it would wear...
That's Ford Washington Blue (Ditzler #1246). It's a gorgeous color, couldn't not use it.
Charlie is now 4 years old and she has been helping quite a bit...and reaping the rewards... [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] Update: We have Color! Made a bunch of progress lately, so it's time for an update. For the majority of July I worked hard at...
I've heard that story! Lol! The Columbia's only go together one way really....I have all the books to make sure it's right.
Nope, the Columbias are on the right. Seems like it should be on the other side, but the way they assemble, it kinda has to be that way
[ATTACH] Update: Rear Axle stuff... I’ve had a few projects come up that I had to get done, so the V8 progress has been slow, but I did manage...
After I re-read it, it sure comes off like I did all this in the last couple weeks, lol! In reality, it spreads back before Christmas....
Lol! :D its all good, just excited for it! I want to hear that engine run! That Mallory is looking good! I originally thought about going the...
[ATTACH] Not a lot to report on (the holidays really slowed me down), but i did get a few things done. First is the completion of the...
No, you aren't. The on my header is Ed Iskadarian's T and was my inspiration. His car does sit a bit lower than mine based on how we did our...
Just about. It's a 1920s Sprint car radiator shell, so it's supposed to be vertical. I plan to give it a slight lean back to get the filler neck...
[ATTACH] Outside Mock-up.. After getting the frame sorted, i had the opportunity to push it outside to really get a good look at the stance:...
I think so too! The front was always pretty solid (Hard to go wrong with a good drop axle and a reverse eye spring), but the Rear stance is the...
[ATTACH] Forgot to add I started working on wishbones and got both pairs of split '32 wishbones welded up the same day as the frame. Trimmed to...
[ATTACH] Update: One step forward, two steps back.. After finishing off the rear frame pinch and the drop, I mocked up the car and realized it...
