If yer gunna go electric, just man up and go electric. Don't be ashamed and try to hide it under plastic V8. My question is, how does one hide the electric drive train in an open wheeled hot rod? Without making it look stupid, of course. Maybe rear wheel drive. :confused: :confused:

Hay Doc. Welcome back. Glad you are on the mend. Now about that 37... And Dozer, the same goes for you. Take care.

Your trans tunnel design makes perfect sense when I look at it. Matches the bell housing. The thought never occurred to me to do one that way. Big likes! [cl

Rainbow spaghetti. Looking forward to seeing how you hid the worst of it. :D

What is it about anvils that make them so attractive? I have no need for one, but I still want one.

Yea! I am still waiting to tell a story like this.

The guy I bought my Model A from was working on this conversion. Said he did the back of the top with cut up VW fenders.

I need to buy a sheet of 18 gauge for future projects, but I can wait. Right now, I am repurposing a lot of used steel.

Your truck reminds me of my old (long gone) 61 Fore F100 4X4. The local law hated it and the driver. Long haired hippy looking 30-something kid with an ugly multi-colored truck. Gotta' love south east Oregon. They quit bothering me after I rattle-canned it with one color. :D Great truck. I'd...

You are making that interior look awfully small. I'll have to figure out how to go the other way with mine. The modern dash is kinda' cool. Does it have Bluetooth senders for all the functions? NOTE: I'm hiding my doors until I can get them properly attached to the car. :D

Bubble-tops are nice, but GM should have made this car, too. [clTudor post conversion next, please.

Agree on all points, Torchie. I don't have to like his designs, but I do worry about safety stuff. We are not alone. His dedicated several minutes to making excuses, because so many called him out on it. I have parts to build the bender. it will likely happen when I need to use it. I will need...

The "funny" thing about BCs perforated "fire" wall is that it will weigh more than 18 gauge solid one. His arguments are bogus. He just wanted to do it. There is nothing wrong with a three piece firewall. Form follows function. Now I need to build a Winfield roller. Gotta' keep up. [cl:D

It looks like you are having more fun than you can keep track of. [cl :D I don't think anyone will notice the difference in a one inch drop and one and a half inch drop back to front. It shouldn't affect clearances either. Interesting advertisement for header building tools. Kinda' cool tool...

It seems to me that you could build new grille bars from scratch faster than fixing the old junk. It wouldn't even have to look stock. Just cool.

I understand. the shipping would be prohibitive. :D :D :D (I think it's a shear.

Dutch, I saw this a while back and thought of you. Sadly, the owner said it was already sold. :D

Still adjusting to the change in weather. So... Thinking about the quarter window challenge, I spent some R&D time the last couple days. YouTube fab vids, and paper and pencil time. The pieces I am working with are not exactly designed to do what I want to do with them, but I think I have a...

Better hide the keys. :D Seriously, good on you for being a good grandpa and sharing your toys and your knowledge. [cl

Welcome from the Pacific Northwet. It looks like you have a head-turner ride there.
