Re: Project "It's a Jimmy Thing"
Thanks, It is stainless steel tubing and fittings. I pieced it together from a few chunks of tube and a dozen 90 degree elbows. I cut and mitered the fittings to the angles I needed and welded it all together. The main exhaust tube is 2 1/2" and I used a couple butt weld 2 1/2" x 3" reducers at the outlets. For the tips I just cut the 3" tube on a 60 degree angle and welded it to the reducers.

Thanks Marc! I saw your ride at the street rod show on Friday. I looked for you but you must have been out walking around. Yours was one of my favorites from the whole show.

Re: Project "It's a Jimmy Thing"
Good job! These hoods actually need more bearing than what they came with. IMHO

Re: Project "It's a Jimmy Thing"
I am sure you guys are getting sick of my door gap pictures, but i finally have them where i want them with a lot of grinding, welding and some more grinding here they are. My goal was to get 3/16" all the way around the door. Besides the tailgate (need to get a new bottle of argon/Co2) all of the gaps are done!

Re: Project "It's a Jimmy Thing"
Wow it has been a while since i last updated, but i have been working on the jimmy between the normal spring chores like getting the bikes ready for summer!
I bought the body molding, laid it out and drilled all of the holes.

Re: Project "It's a Jimmy Thing"
After spending so much time lining the doors up i decided to drill and dowel the hinges so it would be easy to put them back in the exact same spot. I just drilled two 1/8" holes in each hinge and pillar and inserted a small piece of 1/8" welding wire in the hole and welded it in.

Re: Project "It's a Jimmy Thing"
Nice, I like AD trucks. I use to have three burbs 48,49 , 52 and a 50 panel before I drifted over to 67-72 k5s and burbs. Id get it mechanically sound and drive it.

Re: Project "It's a Jimmy Thing"
Finally i can update! My painter called and said he was ready for my jimmy. He wanted me to bring it by so he could touch up the A-pillar where i had the supports when it was on the rotisserie. Since he is only a few miles from me i drove it to his shop. I got some crazy looks driving this thing down the road. I can't believe how well it drives. It shifted and ran great. I guess my front end alignment with a tape measure worked out good and i just need to adjust the drag link a bit so the steering wheel will be straight.

Re: Project "It's a Jimmy Thing"
I also picked up my fenders and doors. They got the block sanded and primed along with the jambs painted. So i spent the weekend taping them off so i could put the Raptor Liner on the insides of the doors and fenders.

Re: Project "It's a Jimmy Thing"
I'm sure it's in here somewhere, but the reason for the raptor liner on the inside of the panels is for... ? It looks really cool, just not sure I understand the function.

Re: Project "It's a Jimmy Thing"
Thank you! Can't wait to have it on the road.
No real function other than it looks cool and it gives, the little bit that you see with the hood up, a finished look. Besides i had a couple extra bottles laying around.

Re: Project "It's a Jimmy Thing"
You should try some CLR on that '51 and see what you think......I guess you got it running?
