X2! What torque converter are you using?

Great job once again! Two pieces of advice for you. First, from your first photos, put some foam "pipe wrap" around your floor jack handle before you have to learn "dent-pulling" too! Second, you may be able to shrink the metal around the pedestals by using the dry-ice method. Look it up on...

I'm with Cranky. You guys have made alot of progress, and done a great job! I'm still in the "hunt-and-gather" stage. But I will refer to these threads once I get rolling. Thank-you guys

Yes, you are right, tourism is our problem!:rolling::rolling: Ever see the T-Shirt that says "I'm so bad, I vacation in Detroit"?

Matt, I used to LIVE at 9 mile in Eastpoint! Back then it was East Detroit. Then they changed the name to Eastpointe. Guess they want to be more associated with the "Grosse Pointes". Now I hear the city of Detroit wants to go up-scale and do the same thing. I guess they'll call it "Gun Pointe"!

WTF! Were those done with a spot welder!

Välkommen, nice car!

Yardwork?!!!! Baby its Memorial Day! War movies on TCM and the History channel All weekend! we served, wives suffer!

cheap welder, psi unknown. The ground was at the base metal, 18 ga, not both.

18 base, 20 on top for the plug, .023 wire, gas, cheap welder set at 2 out of 4, wire at 6 out of 10.

I have the SEM copperweld. Unfortunately, when I used it, my welds bounced off it like water on a hot griddle! Any tips?

Looking good Prop! You really seem to have taken good care to keep the car straight while doing this. I'm just learning to weld. I went to a local steel supply and asked them to cut me some "weld coupons". 2x6 inch strips of 18, 20 and 22 gauge [the common stuff you will see in cars]. Used...

Would also depend on your skills. Read, read, read! Myself, I would use the initial cash to accumulate the hard to find parts that are not being reproduced, "they aint makin' no more of 'em"! and the needed metal. The metal will be labor and time intensive, giving you time to amass more cash...

A little "OCD" is not always a bad thing! It makes me a better tradesman.

Congrats Matt! I'm trying to get the plug welding right also. Good luck and keep the pix coming. Scotty

Congrats bud, great job! i'm doing the roof on my 74 RR now. One question though, I noticed the rust below the roof seam and it looked like the P.O. used bondo on the joint, hence the rust. How did you re-fill the roof to quarter joint?

I have a friend at work restoring his Magnum. Will you be parting it out?

National Guard. Sorry, bring it on! Haha! Did 11 years. Signed up for the Guard. I loved basic and was going to go active as soon as I got home to "Ft. Livingroom", but got offered an apprenticeship as an electrician. Found out I loved that too. Shoulda gone active, I'd be retired now...

Dont call me Sir! I was a Sergeant, I WORKED for a living TOO! HaHa!

Congrats Donny, I'm learning thru you!
