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

Finally got the brass bushing & stainless steel pins pressed in the hinges and am just about ready to install the doors. Seems like I've been working on the hinges forever. Guess thats what happens when I only have a few hours a month to work on the car. That should change during the winter months .... I hope.

They look great, Pro!!!!!! Gonna be one fine old Maro!!! Hopefully it'll be so dang fast it'll scare ya and you'll have to hire a driver.....Where should I send my resume??????

We'll know for sure if the left blinker stays on while you're just drivin' staight down the road at 45 in the high speed lane..............

Those hinges are nearly art..........................I like 'em!!

Thanks Bob. I like spending exorbitant amounts of time on stuff like that.


BTW: What's wrong with drivin' straight down the road at 45 in the high speed lane??

Luckily it wasn't worth more than fifty bux at the most, so i decided to let him continue breathing. Just a well orchestrated guilt trip was plenty. I gave my old man his fair share of grief in my teenage years, too. Hey Pro, those hinges are incredible looking!

Falcon I have one that when he's around i remind him my garage is not designed for strangers and watch what and where he steps LOL . With another note he won't do much with out me having to help .

That is art, the art of a true craftsmen, very nice pro. lets see, driving can be done through just eye movement now so I don't care how long it takes put me in !! Hell in ten more years you'll be able to go all bionic anyway!

Same for my son, he needs to work on patience. He doesn't understand the concept that the car doesn't care how mad at it you get, and forcing something usually ends up breaking it. But, that was me twenty years ago, too. On the brighter side, I did get my radiator mounted and started on the grille/lights.

I can see that this thread is going to have to catch up again also, no big deal, it seems to have a life of it's own.

I didn't manage to get the El Camino going yet, had to work on the Wifes Explorer again....again......again......again...........I hate fords!

Wow, great to have the site up again! Here's where I am; I bought a 50 Dodge for parts and had to make room 'cuz the wife says if it dont fit in the garage, it dont come home. So I set the 47 on the frame to give me space and the engine is sitting perfect with the original firewall. It really got me wanting to get moving on this again. On the rat truck side, the motor is together, the dash is together, just put front brakelines on, and I'm taking the rear springs from the 50 to get the rearend mounted. Also using the radiator from the 50, it looks pretty good. Spring fever is settin' in, hopefully this thing will be on the road in a couple of months.
