Thread: Project $ 3 K Is Underway

Tweet

Thanks guys. Yep, I am running drums all the way around........I'm just old fashioned that way. Plus I have enough of them stored away to last me for the next few projects.

I did some more painting today. I got the front axle, wishbones, and front spring done, so tomorrow I can hang those parts once the paint is really dry. It should be relatively easy now that I am dealing with small parts to paint instead of the entire frame. The only big part I have left is the rear axle and spring.

Hopefully, this weekend I will get the rest of the suspension pieces primed. I forgot to pickup more Fusion Orange, so I am dead in the water on spraying that until Monday. That's ok, I sure have enough other stuff to do.

Don,I have watched this build since start to right now.I thought I was the most miticulus person in this type of building,But I think you have me beat by more man hours when it comes to the frame.
lol lol I am just messin with you.I know that its all in the details when you are lookin for the finished product.Don,You dont know how much you have inspired me to build my new project.You have the same qualitys in your build that my Dad had back in the day.You will take the time and explain every little detail.No matter what time its takes or how many times its asked.Pictures inlcuded.With step by step instructions.You should be very proud of yourself.There arent very many Old Hot Rodders Like Yourself that would have this much still left in the brain that they would even remember to pass on.. I have always said,I think you were a 50s Hot Rod Shop Teacher In Another Life.This isnt the first time I have said this and in my life time most likely will not be the last.
My Hats off to Bud.You know how to do it,Explain it and show all of us when its done.
Don I am not calling you the OLD TIMER...

But you have the patience that I havent seen anywhere when it comes to the details.

Wow, thanks George. I've said it before, I am just a shadetree hobbyist, and when I see some of the work done by others on here, it makes me realize that more and more. There are some really talented people out there, and lots of them hang their hat on this forum. You are no slouch yourself bud.

Where were these forums when we got started in this hobby? We had to rely on making our own mistakes and waiting for the latest rod magazine to show up on the newstand to get some new ideas. There is such a vast amount of information available today through the internet that guys just starting can tap into it and save themselves tons of heartache and money.

The other funny aspect of forums like this are the bonds you form with people you have never met, and probably never will meet. Kinda shows you that it really is a small world, and that good people are all over, and willing to roll up their sleeves and help someone out. I guess that is why these darned things are so addictive,

Don

Don,You pretty much hit it on tghe NAIL.There is plenty of internet stuff that you mentioned.There are many people that will lend you a hand in most of the stuff.But like I said,No one beats the detail like you have it.I have alot of respect for a person like yourself.There arent many left with your kind of patience.
