Thank's, It's bigger that it looks (or thats what I tell the wife) hoping to get it blocked up with a wheel set by it this weekend to see what direction I'll be going with it.

Here is what I'm thinking

Just a feel for how it might sit. Had to wear the welding hood my wife said my ugly mug keeps breaking the camera See Tim no prob with room I'm 6'2 and under 250 lbs. going to give it the old school dragster look[ddd

Next time some one throw a brick at my head

Starting to think some old tin should stay old tin! This has been real fun to weld on thanks to the way it rusted some spots are paper thin but to far in at this point. but the tub is starting to hold together.

Nice double the fun love seening rusty tin [cl

As bad as the tin was the tub is taking shape and getting pretty solid.

Well the axe came down

Was wanting more time to build. Looks like I have it gives me 3 weeks before the job hunt[cl down side something will have to go to the block[S be hitting the drivway first thing like a mad dog.

It is amazing how much stronger it becomes with a few 1x1 tubes.

Nice work on the rebuild!

Day one of unemployment

Thanks flipper, That 1" tube works wonders. Hit the drive at 8:30, A person can get alot done without that dirty four letter (work) holding up things Got the seat frame done, Seat blanks (3/4" fire treated), and reshaped the back.

Sorry to hear about the work thing....

Hope all goes well in the hunt....nice work on the ride....
comin along nicely...![cl

Thanks sarge, would like to just stay working in the drive but I'm no cornfield.

Mike, the shorty is looking great! [cl You've gotten a lot done in a short period of time. Sorry to hear about the job situation....that's a bummer, for sure. I hope you guys had a great Thanksgiving, regardless of the employment deal.

T-day was good hope your was to. Make sure to do the intro yourself and get a pic of that old warpony up[ddd, thier are alot of gasser lovers here and a couple of those bikes. Employment is over rated LOL

Thank you and nice score.

Back on the Nash for a couple days waiting for parts for the 51 so I tried my hand at fender work. Pass side is almost done just a little tweeking to do on it. Forgot to take before pics so I took some of the driver side to show how much I removed.

That's looking really good....keep on rockin'!

I always forget to take before pics on some of the stuff I work on put I remembered this time. Had to do some body work first just to cut it up later

watching with interest, thanks for updating Mike
