Engine test stand Yes I have most of this weekend off. I will break the stand down and get some detailed pictures and measurements for you. I will post them on the site for everyone. Once you get into it I think there are lots of adaptions depending on your preference. Took me about two weeks...

40 chev Run what you brung! Great start![cl

English Wheel Princess Auto had a sale one English wheels so I bought one. Never used one but always thought I needed one. My rear fenders fronts as well have numerous dents, tears and creases. I tried to use a body hammer and dolly but the skin is way to thick for my tools. I fiquired a...

Heater Install Heater is a good idea. You can drive your truck on those cool days. I love those Willys. I have two wagons in my yard. 55 and 60. Stay on it.[P

Patina. Looks great. Keep up the great work. Use what you have.[P

Power window install Thanks I ordered my window crank switch from Autoloc , hope to be able to install it soon. Getting busy at work so my project is slowing a bit.

Power window install It was frustrating only because I looked at it and thought how hard can it be. Of course I have never attempted this before so my expectation was mud to begin with. I certainly learned how it works now. The other side should be easier.

Power window install Had a frustrating, productive steep learning curve of a weekend. After I realized that my window crank did not have enough clearance to turn, Power windows became my option. I have a pair of doors from a Four runner so those are my donor parts. I have attached pictures, the...

56 olds dash Yes I did give up a few inches for the install. From what I measured most trucks have about 24 inches from the horn Center to the mid seat back. I am at 21. It works for me as my legs are 30 inches. The steering column is from a sun fire.

Bottle opener tailgate That looks my yard. I have a couple of Willys wagons in my yard. I noticed on the tailgate of your pickup a bottle opener. When i was cleaning up my 37 there was a similar opener screwed to the inside of the passenger door front post. I could just imagine a couple of guys...

Yes a little hard to explain but the pictures tell the story. Still have to tie in the panel armrest bodyline into the end of the curve. I lost my ability to use the window crank as it is to close to the curve of the dash now. Hoping to fit an electric unit in somehow.:)

37 Chev Pickup 56 Olds dash Back at the 37 this weekend. Had some great success with finishing out my dash on one side. Was not sure if I could incorporate the balance of the outer curve into the door but here it is. When I installed the dash to the cab it did not have the same feel without the...

your baby hemi 34 plymouth build I love it. Injunity always prevails. Great to see how you can make things work with what you have. Its better if your not to close to the parts store.

37 Chev Pickup 56 Olds dash Mockup, 56 Olds dash into the 37 Chev cab. Narrowed the dash 13 inches from the center to fit it to the 37 body width. Sectioned the glove box in order to fit it. Removed ignition bezel as steering column has key. Worked out well as I needed the room to have the...

Mack Truck What a great project> I really like the look of the old macks. I remember a gravel truck operator had a few of those B61 as body jobs. Iconic! [P

Truck bed liner I have used the spray on bed liner for a couple of projects> Its sticks well and I think gives a little sound cushion as well. Nice work on your project. Very creative.[P

Engine test stand Lots of Rig coveralls in this shop. I worked on service rigs in my youth, that was a long time ago in a far away land. As big as the shop is I am still running out of room. If it gets any more full or I get much older I could be lost in there for days.

Engine test stand The stand worked out well. Yes there are some more projects in the shadows. You probably saw the 26/27 Ford Roadster sitting on the shelf. I just picked up a running flathead along with complete driveline from a 49 Ford car this summer. I need to collect a few more things for...

Engine test stand I built an engine test/run stand to accept either an engine/transmission combination or engine bell housing, or engine storage. This unit is made to be able to be stored and takes up a 3x1 foot square space and stands 4.5 feet tall. The way you see it in storage mode has all...

Thanks for the info, a little narrower would probably have been good. The early versions also had the steering box mounted farther back and I was concerned about interference with the engine but I ended up building brackets to move the engine up and back. I set the engine and put the cab on...
