Looking great! I love seeing progress made. I was afraid this thread was dead!

Here's what I did on my '28 A. Been working well for over a year now. Bags were affordable too.

Thank you all! Built some headers for it...finally! Bet shot I have of them. Thats' our boy...8 months! He likes the car! Put some Jeep tires on it, that I had laying around. I think it looks really cool. I'm gonna show it this weekend with em' on! :D Had to flex it out...

Well, it's still raining...... and the wiper has been installed for a few months now! I ended up using an '89 Wrangler wiper arm/linkage pivot, which I manually crank. Put the car in the "Wings and Wheels" show this past weekend at the airport. It's a pretty cool show which features Cars...

With all the rain Colorado has been having lately, I was forced to get the roof done. I was sick of not driving it! I made it removable to make things easier in the future. Next on the list...wipers!

Yep, the front 3 windows function as they should! Had a great time in Moab! The car ran great, and drew more attention than I expected! I had to get some scenic shots!

Thanks everybody!! Glass is in[cl! I guess I consider the car done now. Just in time! I'll be showing it next Saturday at the Moab Car Show. I'm new to this, so I'm interested to see how it goes.

Received the Title and put plates on the car last week. What a relief, that process is done. It's finally registered and insured!! The car has been running great, and I've put about 500 miles on her. Still tons of little tweeking to be done...including the tranny! Got the grill dialed in this...

Thanks, everybody! A year has passed, and I've finally made progress on the title!! After inquiring with the DMV, because I hadn't heard anything for a year, they told me my paperwork had been sent back to them. They had all the correct information for me! Instead of the the State putting the...

Thank you all!! The weather has been great, and I've been daily driving it for the past five days. WHAT A FEELING!! Got the cooling system dialed in, but still don't have OD! I messed with the TV cable a bit, but no luck yet!

Now that I'm on the home stretch, I've had a bunch of dumb, unforeseen, setbacks. Long story short, I replaced the transmission, starter, battery, starter solenoid, oil pan, I'm sure there's more, all within the past 2 months. I did manage to make some headway though! The dash and interior are...

∆∆ Interesting, thanks for the info! I feel better about not putting it back in. It has been in the back of my mind. Nice knowing I definitely don't need it.

New Lokar, kickdown cable installed. I Think I have the tranny mostly dialed in. I thought my oil pan drain plug was leaking, so I bout a new one, but it didn't fix the leak. Turns out there was a pinhole leak in the pan where somebody had brazed new threads in. I tried spot welding it, but...

Did some research, and figured out, the rod on the shift sector needs to accuate the plunger. My shift sector had worked its way outboard, and no longer moved the plunger. This is what it should look like: Made it the way its supposed to be , then bolted the tranny back up, fired it, and I...

Pulled the tranny pan today and found this: Wonder what the heck it is!! It also appears there is something missing from the shift sector.

Thank you all!! Yes...what a feeling!! I pulled the body off and pulled the tranny today! I'm no expert, but everything looks fine at first glance. Not sure what else I can do, other than rebuild it. Not to keen on that, at this point. I wonder if a poorly adjusted TV cable could be the problem?

Had a little fun today! http://vid292.photobucket.com/albums/mm10/hoovail/Rat%20Rod%20Build/IMG_2885.MOV_zpstoscx58k.mp4 http://vid292.photobucket.com/albums/mm10/hoovail/Rat%20Rod%20Build/IMG_2886.MOV_zpsf3rfml2x.mp4 I took the car out for its maiden voyage! Once warmed up, it's spewing...

As far as I can tell, it's all good! I'm no expert though! Running it as is, is exactly what I'll do. And you can have "Shotgun"!! I can't think of anyone better to be in that seat, if the engine fails!! :D

Great News!! Pulled the timing cover and found this all three galley plugs missing! Put em' in. When I spun the oil pump with a drill, I got 60psi. That's up from 8psi previously! The heads are also getting oil now! Woohoo!! Not sure if I did any damage, but at least it's running good now...

Your build sounds interesting!! Lets see some pics!!
