Ok, So Bonehead is a great fab guy but in the 7th grade could he do this???

No, don't think so. Found this digging around tonight and opened a Corona with it, designed, manufactured and plated...stamped with my initials in 1967. Why would they allow 7th graders to make beer bottle openers at that age anyway??

For practice in making license plates later in life...?

Now there is no doubt that the two of you are brothers! [ddd

Motor noises please

I was thinking I would make some motor noises then it dawned on me...play some drag race vids on the shop TV. All it gets now is Bonanza anyway.

 

[Bonehead's brother]

Fired up the motor

First start

Sometimes I have to move when I am welding and grinding too. Someone needs to invent some better shop approved flip-flops!

 

[Bonehead]

Sounds good, and it rocks the suspension a bit. I like it!

 

[Bonehead's brother]

Sounds better now

Got the timing dialed in, idle is perfect and vacuum issue addressed. Fuel line secured. Could not fix the leaks right at the transmission lines as they enter the radiator. Finally decided it was the cheap Chinese radiators fault and tig-welded in new bungs. Also finally started running the brake lines.

 

[Bonehead]

progress is progress, keep plugging away

 

[Old Iron]

Nice fix on the radiator [cl

 

[Bonehead]

He finished it a while back, and drives it quite a bit. Great little grocery getter

That time of year when you need to go get a ice cream.

That time of year when you need to go get a ice cream.

So I gotta ask...how loud is that ole hot rod?

It is not bad at all, you can talk going down the road. The first set of pipes was too close to the paint, the next set had a weird turn out that just didn't look right. This was different enough, and cleared everything.
