1936 Diamond T with 6BT cummins

looks like some tight quarters between motor and firewall....

not quite as tight as it looks in the pics, but ya, it's a little tight. Plenty of room though

We've been pretty busy, but I got a chance to work on something for a bit today on the truck.

Anybody have any good ideas for me to repair these? I don't have any welding skills (hubby does that), but I can cut/grind/drill/etc.

door nightmare

new blog entry........

Has anybody seen a DT that was originally painted green with a cream top? The original doors we took apart this last weekend were definitely green with cream tops........ no red.....

Nope never seen one in those colors personally..... Nice score on the HF tools too. I have the roller and after some modifying its a pretty good tool. I also would like a tipping die if I can find one.

the bead roller is the only HF tool - the brake is a Grizzly and the shrinker/stretchers are Eastwood...... but, ya, now I will be searching for the tipping die for the HF bead roller. Hopefully we can get it strengthened up to use this weekend possibly

We did get a little done the last couple months - not a lot, but we got a door re-skinned and that was a big excitement boost!
