Re: Daverods project 66
 

That was a Kewl Plymouth. :metal:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Kewler than mine for sure... The old race car is a little rough. the doors are welded shut, windows are removed and the the opera windows cut out (5 window) . Still has nerf bars, push bar and a full roll cage. You straddle the transmission and it still has a hand clutch.
Primitive race car from the 50"s , but it still a 33 plymouth!!

Still, it is a very Neat race car and will make a Great rat rod if I leave it kinda racey but just barely street legal.

Someday............... It is one of those barn finds you hear about, But it is our barn!!!

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Sometimes I'm shocked that you guys get anything done at all. Too many chicks hangin around your garages :lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Especially my shop. They are all over the walls.. :lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

No chicks at my house or Posters ... I have daughters and friends of daughters that help out in my shop.:lol:
My father in law had posters hanging in his shop years ago ..
When my girls were young, My wife cut out the all XXX parts and left the rest of the poster hanging .. He did take them down after awhile....:lol:


We just barely get anything done anyway..,
We have a Northwest Motorfest car show next weekend.. so we wont get anything done then either..

Logan car show was great. Very nice location. Lots of shade. If you have never been there put it on your list. Not to many pics.:waah: Did find some good house art at a garage sale.:metal:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Painted my bed sides and some other stuff.:metal: Ran the **** out of the grill support.:lol: Did 'nt put enough hardner in the mud on the tailgate so it has to sit in the sun for a few. Still need to paint the front of the box then I get to put it together.:metal:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Is that a night stand? I like it. :metal: Knowing you it will end up being a tool box. :haha:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

:smoke: Its a flower stand. Guy said it was 200 years old? Looks old. Needs a top. Good place to hide my bong.:lol::lol: Flowers got to go. Wifes idea.:waah:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

We have lots of antiques also.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

2 footer'd fit nice in there.;)

Re: Daverods project 66
 

might get a nice piece of birdseye or that other swirly stuff glued on there and paint and polish and paint the edge with a little black line to hide it either that or flatten the wood thats on there and fill it up with lacker

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I was thinking a flywheel or a piece of granite.;) I'm not sure how thick you can make laquear brfore it starts to crack. I've seen some cool tops with stuff inside the laquear. Saw one with hand carved fish in it the laquear was abour 5 inches thick.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Looks great !!!

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Try the Epoxy they use on those old drift wood tables. :waah:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Question? I was wondering why on some old cars the roof on the outside looked like it had a sunroof but if you looked in the inside it was just a normal roof. I saw this on several cars. The roof on the outside looked like it was covered in leather. I could'nt figure it out. I did find out that the frame I found was a 1928 model a truck. I guy had one there that he found under a tree. It still ran.;)

Re: Daverods project 66
 

It's just the not same.:waah:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

They all had those kind of roofs. The hot rodders filled them with steel. On some of the sedan roofs they would put a roof from a doaner station wagon, or a van with the ribs. ;)
