Yeah for a little bit. I'm on hold waiting for Studebaker parts. I need to keep going on anything that needs to be done on my truck. Before I put the windshield in this has to be done, along with shaving the speaker hole in the dash, and painting the inside of the cab. So stay tuned.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
About a Month ago I was riding down a street to get some stuff at the local Speed Shop, and a 37 Ford Coupe past going the other way. I just about sh*t in my pants. It was my old 37 that I sold over 15 years ago when I lived in Simi Valley, which is over 125 miles away. I sold it to a guy that lived in LA some were. Well I had to make a big U turn and talk to the guy. Turns out he just bought it from the guy I sold it to 15 years ago, and he lives here in Victor Valley. We both were blown away that we even met. He said he was looking for the front license plate and the owner said it was under the seat some were. He said it wasn't there. I said of course it's not there. I HAVE IT. I said if he came over to the shop he could have it. I never had pictures of it with a digital camera because they didn't have them back then.
He stopped buy today, and got some pictures, and gave him his "37 STEEL" personalized plate. We still can't believe that we met each other. Maybe I'll get some jobs from him. He started a new club up here, and he's the President. Man this car is sweet. I still love it. But not as much as I miss my Belair. http://belair.smugmug.com/photos/611103928_4Fzar-L.jpg http://belair.smugmug.com/photos/611103978_TkUxX-L.jpg |

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Thanks Mac
OK back to work. I spot welded a little at a time so it won't warp the sheet metal. http://belair.smugmug.com/photos/611194990_bQbjZ-M.jpg I keeped closing in the gaps, let it cool, and do it again. This took me over 3 hours. http://belair.smugmug.com/photos/611195043_7bGDs-M.jpg http://belair.smugmug.com/photos/611195177_ekXu3-M.jpg Then I ground down the welds to shape the flare. I went back a few times to spot weld in the missed spots, and ground again. http://belair.smugmug.com/photos/611195315_7UkCe-M.jpg http://belair.smugmug.com/photos/611195505_ojZRj-M.jpg http://belair.smugmug.com/photos/611195620_KCbZs-M.jpg |
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Next is work on the seam under the flare.
http://belair.smugmug.com/photos/611195440_KfmNu-M.jpg Here's a shot so you can see what the truck will look like. SWEET, I like it. :metal: http://belair.smugmug.com/photos/611195558_YvSEy-M.jpg |
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
thats cool that you got to see your car again
the truck looks good too |
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Nice work on the flare. I can see what it looks like now.;) I use to think 50 was old.:lol: It's funny how even old people think there still young. I wonder if anyone really thinks "Damn I'm old". All I know is time is running out. I can think back to when I was 20 seems like yesterday that was 30 years ago. In 30 years I'll be 80. But I'll look 75.:lol: I got 30 years left. Kinda pisses me off.:sumo::lol:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Dennis, I like the work your doing on the drip rail. Since your doing that, what are you going to do with the drip rail that runs down the A pillar? I removed mine since there was some rust under it. It is only help on with a few spot welds. It would smooth out the transition from the windshield to the door.
Frame looks good, too bad you had to do the paint twice...:devil: Cool that you met the new owner of your old car. That car is nice, amazing that it is still the same as it was 15 years ago. |

As far as painting the frame twice, It wasn't that bad. It took 2 rattle cans, and not that much time. I have been putting the frame parts back on, and rattle can paint stuck really good and doesn't scratch very easy with POR-15 as a base. |
