I went to talk to a friend of mine today and look at his 49 ford topless rat rod.the windshield is cut down so he is trying to fab a roof.I told him I needed fenders and he had a set off a 37 ford he sold cheap and through in a set of new stacks from a semi.he has so much nice old ford stuff and wants to clean house.I also talked to a young feller who has a 54 ford pick-up for $2000,it just needs assembled.he has a 56 2 door ford wagon he wants to finish. it was a great day.

I know this has nothing to do with hotrods, but this is what I have been working on for a couple of weeks. These are steel piling for floating docks, they are 93 feet long. They are 2 pieces of 46 foot black iron pipe 16 inch diameter with a 1/2 inch wall. There is a point for driving into mud/silt that is about a foot long and weights about 125 lbs. When these pile are driven there will be another 46 foot piece going on top with an h beam to tie the pile together.

I cleaned the garage. It has half a 78 Chevy worth of pieces, an entire 54 Chevy in pieces, and it's only a small 2 car garage. After cleaning it all up and arranging it and filling a garbage can full of crap, and I van full of scrap metal, I surprised the wife. I said honey come look at this. She kinda misted up a little, then got mad. I asked her why. She said at first she thought I was dying or something, and then changed her mind and knew I wanted something. So much for spring cleaning. Guess I should clean the garage more often.

Looks like it was made for that seat.

Nicely done! Will they get chromed or painted?

Decided to clean up my fuel lines under the hood yesterday. I had a fuel block that a friend gave me, and it was tapped for one 1/4" pipe inlett, so I could tap whatever outlets I needed.
Here's what I had previously:


Here's what I did with the block, bender, and some tubing:

Should be close enough to visually not see a difference between the lines on the body and the new hood sides.

That is so friggin cool!

I like your thinking, very nice job.

I got out there in the morning and epoxy primed the floor in the Gran Sport, then spent 5 hours at a track meet in VERY cold heavy winds. I got back home and out to the garage to find that there was still some soft epoxy so I have to wait until tonight to get the seam sealer on it.

Got the floor seam sealed tonight, along with some texturing work at the mother-in-laws house. Tomorrow I hope to get another coat of epoxy primer over that sealer and I will be ready to put the carpet in. I can't wait to see that console in there!

Another "five minute night" that went 20-30. A few more pieces and wiring (added some speaker wire to the back seat in anticipation of adding a stereo.

Tonight I start the carpet!
