Aha; there you are!
Merry XMas to the Ollah's! From the Brennick's/ Michigan. You do nice work, Rick. Because your thread is a WOT "collage," I'll throw up one pic of my OT welding project car: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) 82 VW Rabbit Pickup- Diesel 16 internal welded patch panels on original paint- YUK! Rotten 'lil tramp... I'll take a pic shortly, if you don't mind. Regards, Rich B |

Just noticed this thread. I agree, awesome metalworking !
And FWIW, I agree that a bugeye and a 914 are a good combo: Attached image(s)

On welding topic only;
Numerous floor pan, inner fenders. front struts and lower control arm welded patches, BUT, I've managed to save the OEM paint. I think I'll use the box for hauling "you-know-what" from the curious on-lookers in the pic! That's it; good luck on your project(s), Rick! RB Attached image(s)

Dug this thread out of the depths. Still working on the Shealey. Marks914 just did a tach conversion from the old cable drive style to a modern electric guts. Looks stock.
Then Here's the header I made and the rats nest wiring. I started sorting the rats nest out but got a call to work for a month or so. Attached image(s)

rust free you say ? Group: Members Posts: 16,375 Joined: 7-January 05 From: richmond, Va. Member No.: 3,419 Region Association: None |
I got to looking at a Healey we did a month ago. That car without the front clip would make a KILLER rod.. I was thinking about removing the clip, making a tube frame for the front end, Ford grill with supports and a flathead. Bitching roadster (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

OMG! I just realized this project and the Mercedes are 7 yrs long! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Add the Ravenna car to that list of incomplete projects. I'm coming to the realization that my track record sux!
The Healey got pushed aside for a quick Ravenna 914 rebuild that turned into a Dirkwright project. Hey while your at it, let's rebuild everything! As a storm claims guy I work 7 days a week without any time off unless I just stop working and let things pile up behind me. So now that my stinkin job (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) has consumed another year of my life both of them remain unfinished. The good news, Claims are slowing just in time to give the Alien a once over for the trip to RRC... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) I hope. My goal is to not have to bring work with me and do it in the hotel while my friends party. Rant off. |
