Well i just have the hinges that it came with welded to the frame at the moment, that was just to make it to our meet a couple weeks ago. i do have an idea for it but its kind of hard to explain.

frmula505 · 06-11-2009, 05:41 PM

Yea i got the ones it came with. But with the quality you've showed on this project, I know you will come up with something better. I am working on an electronic latching system for mine now. I want to use actuators to raise and lower the front end, and solenoids and limit switches for the latching. I'll keep an eye out for this thread as you go along.

scotts62 · 06-11-2009, 05:50 PM

Well thanks i appreciate it!
I had a latch in the center with two gas shocks, similar to a camaros rear hatch and it worked pretty good but these hoods really need 2 latches on each side. I used the hood pins before but was thinking i could come up with something a little better.

jgh64pkup · 06-11-2009, 06:00 PM

those bike parts look good

scotts62 · 06-11-2009, 06:11 PM

Thanks Gage!
My buddy just called and said they accidently scratched the tank

4dranch · 06-11-2009, 06:35 PM

Did you get paid????
If so, get to work on that monster your building....

*highperf4x4* · 06-15-2009, 10:25 PM

That's insane! I'm glad your dad survived. I'd be tearing some new assholes.

Best of wishes to everyone.

scotts62 · 06-15-2009, 10:32 PM

Thanks guys yeah im glad too!

Yeah you know if you or I would have done that we would still be in jail for it... I have a feeling its going to be a long fight over this, just hope he doesnt get screwed over in the deal.

monolith · 06-15-2009, 10:33 PM

WOW!

Glad to hear that your dad's ok.

If he's the litigious type- he could be well on his way to having a new truck for each day of the week.

Yeah he wasn't mad until reality set in and he lost a truck that was paid for and or he could have been killed because someone wasn't paying attention.

Bazooka · 06-15-2009, 10:59 PM

Dang man! Glad everybody is okay..

4dranch · 06-16-2009, 06:38 AM

Scott,
Glad your Dad and the deputy are okay.
Could have been a whole lot worse. Tell your dad to get someone to represent him and not try to handle this on his own....

scotts62 · 06-16-2009, 07:22 AM

Thanks David, Yeah he has a meeting today with a lawyer so we'll see how that goes.

*highperf4x4* · 06-18-2009, 12:06 AM

Figure out how to make it public. Call a news station and get them to do a story. Community pressure is a beast.

1Bad62Pro/Street · 06-18-2009, 10:04 AM

News station would put the heat on the Sherriff to do something!!

MacAttack · 06-18-2009, 10:33 AM

Man, that was a nasty wreck - glad to hear he came through it okay.

Mac.

Yeah we have thought about that too, but they are wanting to make sure nothing comes up wrong with him before he signs on the dotted line because then its too late.

Thanks Mac.

tiggamonsta · 06-18-2009, 06:14 PM

Keep the pressure on them. For my accident they gave me this whole speech how they would do this huge investigation and an accident computer simulation to determine the fault. When it was all said and done the police report was less then a half page and basically said his light where on and therefore it was my fault.

No not since our OK Meet, i need to but im taking 2 90's model chevys and trying to make one good truck, so i have parts scattered everywhere at the moment

frmula505 · 06-24-2009, 01:37 PM

I know what you mean, I haven,t worked on my 59 in about 8 months. I worked out of town from October to March (Vegas it was nice). Then with all my overtime money I decided to Procharge my Corvette. Now I bought a 60 Chevy shop truck. And of course i can't leave things alone. I'll be getting back on it as the weather gets a little cooler.

I'll second that. I dropped off his sand blaster and there was an engine block laying in the middle of the driveway.........

JohnC · 06-25-2009, 09:14 AM

It's easier to find things if they are scattered around instead of all being stacked on top of each other in one place!
