Thread: Everybody that is currently building a car...

Tweet

It's July 13-14 Dave. Most everybody shows up sometime on Friday & the deal is all day Saturday. We had a blast last year.

Where the heck is Eddyville any how?

Just a few miles down the road from Oskaloosa.

Ok, Have to see what is going on by then. Hopefully I can get enough stuff kicked out of the shop to get away. Lots of stuff going on and more coming this summer..... Have to see how things are going by then, but it would sure be a blast!!!!

Dave, I could use an extra crew member, if you're interested.

Got a start on door hinges this weekend. I want the body to be a lift off deal so a simple tube to the roll cage would get in the way. I made body mounts on the inside of the door posts to the cage and am building aluminum lift off style hinges that will use 2 of the three original hinge mounting holes. The third hole is being relocated to shorten up the bolt pattern. Got about 1/2 the parts cut out so far. Stay tuned.

Hey ya'll,
I got the phone call that made my morning from Rick the sandblaster,"Your frame is done and I'll drop it off this afternoon." Stay tuned for much happiness......Also this is my first kingpin job; how do you get those brass bushings for the pins in the spindle without hurting them? They're really tight.

Falcon place them in the freezer for a few hours this will help shrink them down for pressing , then they will warm up and tighten in afterwards

Ya, what Bluestang said. HeHeHE!

Sounds like a blast!!!! Have to see if I can get caught up enough by then to take a few days off. Sure would like to make the show in Eddyville!!!!

That would be cool Dave. We're bringin' my Son Jeff's Camaro. Very mild street car, but it should be fun.

I'm hoping I can get away, two cars and a pickup to finish up before then.....

It's thrashin' time.

Hey!!!! What would you get for renting Jeff out for a month?????????????

You'll haveta' ask him. I think he's busy gettin' the Camaro ready tho.
