My '41 Ford PU build!

[racer135]

Hey you know if you put a Ford motor in that Ford you wouldn't have that distributor problem.

hahahaha i was sayin to dad the other day if he puts a chev in the 52 he's gonna kill his back when he goes to time it!!!

Stupid!!!

Ok... I know this sounds stupid but my build got hung up by a stupid master cylinder I bought with the tubular x member. It had some weird sized outlets in 2 different sizes. I tried getting fittings but finally just asked the company to trade me out for a standard version. Got it in the mail yesterday & am gonna have to double time & get the braking system done. I'll post fotos when I get going again... finally!!!

Hmmmmm. Sounds like excuses I hear from my kids as to why their room wasn't cleaned up when it was supposed to be. Can't wait to see it going again. I'm sure that Nailhead is getting anxious to breathe once more.

Followed this one from start to present, what a ton of work. Great work though... Looks beautiful. Awesome!

 

[Tripper]

Get 'er done!!!

Well... I've had some free time & started bending up the brake lines on my '41. Bought these bending pliers at the Houston Autorama & love 'um!!! Swiped this foto off Eastman.

Finally gettin' around to puttin' the brake lines in. My master is under the floorboards facing backwards, then the 2lb residual valve & the tubing going to the back & the clamps installed. I'll hang the braided steel hoses to the rear brakes next. Can't wait to get past this & on to the gas tank. I'm *really* anxious to get the big Nail fired up!!!

Firewall

Had to cut the recessed firewall down because of the channel & add another recess for the dizzy. Finally got it welded in & got some mud on that I'll sand down tomorrow & flat black. Now to the interior flooring!

After workin' on getting the firewall in I lowered the body down to it's real position & got really fired up. It has a really kool stance & is lo-down like I wanted. I'm gonna try to get it finished enough to make it to the Lone Star Roundup in April. Won't have a bed on it but the quick change hangin' out for all to see will work for me! Got a lot to do some I'll be doin' some heavy garage time tween now & then but I can finally see da lite @ the end of da tunnel!!!

Close!

I am gettin' ever so close to fire'n the big Nailhead up & had the 3 slot pulleys... er.. A/C & power steering not needed... just water pump & alt! We don't need to stinkin' PS & A/C!!! So I found these on daBay & they are on their way to the old Tipper's house as we speak. Over the weekend I cut & fitted the flooring support out of 2"x1" tubing & will weld all that up today... fotos later!
