'29 Chevy RPU from junk

[animal]

I love the leaning tower of power in that rpu! That is going to be a sweet ride, Bob!Glad you got your camera fixed.

 

[joedoh]

Sweeeeeeet! Love slanters!!! [cl[cl[cl

BoB

Throttle linkage. All home made with stuff laying around. My little Fuji Camera finally died. Went to a camera store to buy a cheap replacement. No such thing, cameras are expensive. Phone cameras have replaced the cheapies. I picked up a used Canon G15 for little money. It has more functions than the space shuttle.

Well Bob, that pair of 2100 1.02 look real cool on your old plenum intake. Nice linkage work. Will be interested in how the carbs mounted 90 degrees from original on the float bowls works out under "hard acceleration" when your showing off to the locals. [cl[cl[cl

I'm just an observer for a few days while the four new holes in my belly heal. Friday morning I said Bye bye to my gall bladder.

Been fooling around with the carbs trying to get the engine to run right. The water pump is leaking and there is an oil leak around the oil pump too.

The good news is my Bonehead Customz steering arrived today. Pictures do not do it justice. It must be seen in person; you gotta feel it, to fully appreciate the genius that Jeff has as a metal artist.

old28, I drive like the little old man that I am so I doubt fuel sloshing out of the bowls will be a problem.

Little old man or not, bob. You've got a really cool steering wheel.[ddd
The first time someone saw me with my shirt off after my gallbladder surgery I could see them counting the holes and wondering.[S

Well Bob my 1971 F250 300" motor ride sees 35-45 90% of the time, I am a true "slow cruising old west coast dude". Going into the hospital on the 15th for a chemical stress test to check my oxygen level as my heart Dr. is concerned as I have no energy & I am tired all of the time.

That is the coolest RR steering wheel I have ever seen. Jeff is a top notch metal artist. You will get some comments on it when you get the roadster PY on the road.

Hope you had a good 4th of July.[cl[P

I had the same symptoms and it turned out to be a low testosterone level.
Your level is supposed to be mid triple digits and mine was 17. Been on Androgel now for 6 months and I'm back to 400 feeling much better.

 

[earthman]

Ain't nobody nowhere gonna walk by that wheel and not comment I would be for wrapping the rim in thick foam and leather.

 

[sc5080]

Awesome!!!

 

[Bonehead]

The wheel changes the attitude of the whole build, can't wait to hear reactions of the general public to the whole build. Hope you get to feeling like being back to work on it soon.

I had to shift gears and spend some time replacing the plug fouling 305 in my Anglia. Got the repaired 355 ready to go in between the frame rails. Gonna run an Air Gap manifold with a 600cfm Holley instead of the old C4B manifold and Edelbrock carb.

wheel

just remember to bring along some gloves on hot days. that wheel will get hot to the touch.

 

[Sam_Fear]

I'm with Earthman - leather wrap on that wheel.

 

[bob w]

Yes I'll do something to improve the grip and reduce heat transfer without taking away from the aesthetics of the wheel. On the other hand If I don't get moving on it I'll have to worry about freezing my knarled hands. Wednesday I did some heavy work, for a little old guy (turned 78 on Friday). By Friday I realized I musta pulled something in my chest. Can't breathe without hurting. Can't lay down. Can't sleep. It's a female dog getting old.

Geez,bob.
As my dear old daddy used to say. "No good deed goes unpunished."
I know we all get tired of telling each other this...
Take it easy.

p.s. My wife the certified message therapist says that it may be something in your upper back or shoulder causing the chest pain.

 

[bob w]

All healed up. Back on the Anglia. I finally got the engine in the hole. Gonna hafta pace myself from now on.

 

[old28]

Bob, glad to hear your feeling better. "Gotta Watch Those I'll Help Offers"

I have never seen this Anglia before, must have missed it. Is it a street/strip or street only? Great looking front end. What's the motor got in it?
