Just a quick post,been working a lot at Lexus so I have not done much in the garage. Worked for a few hours on the mustang project. Some yard work and other BS house stuff. The highlight is I drove my truck to work in Santa Barbara. That was cool because I was with the early morning commute. Well I will post soon. Here's some snaps.
I have been sick these last few days. So I got my stripping brushes and 1shot paint out for some lil practice. By no means an I an artist, the pros will be doing my real work on my pick up truck. I have a 00 and 0 stripping brush that I tipped my self. Does real thin to fat lines. I practiced on some glass I have then on lil jars,wood, tools sect. I did a ratchet for my buddy Randy's bday. Well here's the work.
Got another car that needs the Danny treatment. This is my buddy's stang, I had done a front wilwood disc brake conversion a few years ago. Now he wants to go fast. The 2 barrel is not cutting it. So now we are doing a top end up grade and timing gear swap with a new aluminum water pump. I am going to reseal the oil pan and timing cover. New edelbrock intake and holly carburetor. Ford motor sport valve cover and air cleaner. Will be posting the progress.
Today we're at Eddie's working on lil bandit. We are swapping out frames cause the original one was toast. The frame was all bent and the front horns were welded all fucked up. The other frame is in good shape so now we are swapping out all the right hand drive parts over. Eddie is modefyin his intake manifold to work with his stock exhaust manifold. This thing needs a lot of work but we will get it goin soon. Heres some progress pictures.
What a long day! Got up early to get my truck loaded up. Got the trophy done. All the club members met up at the Ventura harbor Vons. Jack Taylor came out to cruise in with us. Jesse came out with his 51 merc, Marcos came out with his 50 Fleetline. We had Jim Sharp and Bud Hammer come through. Cooked some carne asada con Pollo. Drank beers. Went to Kiwi Kev's house for the pig roast. Came home and now I'm resting. Here's some photos.
Today I got a chance to install the rebuilt Vega box that I got from Pomona swap meet. The original steering box had to much play and I could not adjust it any more. $120 bucks later I have a 3 year warranty Vega box. Now I'm under my avocado tree working on the pick up. This is a shady tree type job cause it's hot out side. The box is in and test driven. What a difference! The real test is on the hywy. Here's some photos.
Today I got a chance to work on my homie Richard 's 54 Chevy. I got the headlamp and tail lamp wiring done. We worked on the trunk and installed some carpet material. We are getting the car ready for the Ventura Nationals. I will keep you guys posted on the progress.
