I am not going to portland for the swap meet this year first time in like 20 years. I am already over trucked and am heading to pick up my 58 in phoenix and over to del mar for goodguy's. But sooner or later dude our paths are going to have to cross....

Bomp · 03-12-2014, 10:54 PM

I've been trying to get up to the Portland Meet for the last 5 yrs. Something always gets in the way. Work, no money, go the wrong weekend(totally stupid on my part),broken foot, etc.
Yes, One day I will get to be in the presents of your Coolness.....lol

LMAO....Dude your too much....
Well I am going to good guy's in seattle and maybe even spokane this year...I need to turn more miles and drive the fleet more often....But it would be killer to put some kind of truck meet together this year and have a bunch of us go to one

Hmmmmm
FWIW I am hoping to be hauling my 66 Stepside with the 64 Tow Truck down through that area during the Seattle and/or Spokane Goodguys shows. Now wouldnt that be a hoot? Just leave the two married up and pull into a car show??
Then get to meet and hang out with all you guys !?!?!?!

More to follow as our timeline clarifies itself...

|I have always been a fan of the steel top rad hose look. So i was thinking that I would clean it up and bath in the sinster green....this kind of thing...

You know if I can I would make the trip......1st Round is on me...lol

wutnxt · 03-13-2014, 10:37 PM

Then I got this really expensive idea.....and said to myself lets go with that....So stainless it is. I didn't make it but the guy that did knocked it out of the park....

markeb01 · 03-14-2014, 07:09 PM

That piece turned out beautifully!

wutnxt · 03-15-2014, 10:28 AM

Thanks...

The guy did a great job he nailed it with excatly what I wanted...I tend to run those tubes on the top for my builds I love the look of them. My 58 was the first on that I ran a top and a bottom in stainless and I think I will for this one as well. Once i have done the break in and turned some miles I plan on running the shrink tube rad hose for a cleaner no clamp look. I just want to make sure everything is good first.

Ya I made a jig....so I can have them repoped and plan on making a bunch of'em...But right now I have to find a differnt guy to tig'em and I haven't made the bottom one just yet. Once I make them both and am happy with them both and have the jigs I am all over it.

Ta2Don · 03-16-2014, 11:54 AM

Don't know how I missed this til now...

Ta2Don · 03-16-2014, 11:56 AM

Bomp · 03-16-2014, 08:23 PM

I saw your tube and now I got questions.That doesn't sound right. hmmmmm Hand raised high like in grade school,
1. On the stainless tube, what is the thickness? And what is the diameter?
also, on the ends, is that a larger slice of tubing slipped over or what is it? I get what it is, like the bump for the hose to slip over just don't know how you made it.
Toss a totally rad stainless tube out there with no measurement gottz me buggin'

lol...only you bomp dude only you....
I didn't make it but had it made and I matched the thickness to the top upper pipe...off the top of my head I think it was 1 1/2 tubing and elbows. I will have to measure it later....and yea we decided to cut a tiny ring of pipe and tig it back onto the pipe and grind it to shape....it's a piece of fricken art dude the guy nailed it out of the park as far as i am concerned.

wutnxt · 03-17-2014, 03:35 PM

We have been busting it lately and have made some progress.....

wutnxt · 03-17-2014, 03:40 PM

So in keeping with the green theme I had to hack things up and make them green....The pictures don't do it justice it's way cooler in person....And yes we had to cheat to test it all out...but there is a ton of wire in that thing.

Bomp · 03-17-2014, 10:45 PM

Diggin the cluster lights.
I can tig.

1963c-10 · 03-18-2014, 08:59 AM

Let me know when you go into production....I'd like an upper one made.
