Thanks for sharing, Travis! How wonderful it must be for you to begin this project without first having to repair years of rust damage! I'm also very impressed that your friend has collected so many parts this build will require! Brilliant! Enjoy! Be safe! Bro Harry
That body is like experiencing a "Time Machine" !!! Those doors are the same doors that Henry used on my 29 Model A CCPU !! It's nice when they shut with the two pronounced clicks !! Like you said. this would be a "VERY FUN" build !!! Looks like he's gathered lots of very nice parts as well. That Olds engine should be so much fun to drive in that light car. Those things had SOOOO much torque !! 👍👍👍👍🛠🔩🔨⚙🗜 That drill press is a BEAST !!! Too bad they don't make tools like that anymore !! Be sure to clamp that vise down before it spins around and "sections" your legs ----------- or worse !!! ;o)
Really cool car. It's coming along nicely. Can't wait to see more updates an projects and many more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.
Drill press safety note. Always use a vise to hold your workpiece if it cant be clamped, if the vise or workpiece can't touch the column block it with a piece of 2 x 6. If either isn't possible simply rotate the workpice against the column (you observed the drill press preforming the rotation for you on the cross-member wnen it broke thru. Be safety proactive first.
I'm not shire why I'm not subscribed how nicely you build or work with metal with bare minimum tool's I do watch your video's all the time. I like how your son and wife get envoled in your builds well at least the truck and your son is learning at a young age. That's how they learn by doing. My Pop's had me helping him do break drums in the early 1970s 5 or 6 year's old pulling spring's holding breaks together or pumping the peddle and holding it to adjust breaks. I built my first car before I even had license to drive. My friend's would have me help them with fixing there car's because they thought I knew more than them. They didn't know I pretend most of the time just trying to fix it process of elimination to find out the problems and got it fix. I was better at body work then mechanical engineering, my older brother was the professional mechanic that did it for a living. Still working on car's even after retiring.
That is a shrinker, stretcher. I have one, also an air planishing hammer an english wheel a brake, a 350 amp tig, and a 250 amp mig, oh yeah and oxyacetaline.
I wished that all the original stuff was removed that was goimg to need cutting up. Then use aftermarket parts to cut up. They are perfect and original once.
If ever there was such a thing as a "cool drill press", THAT is it. Easy to see why people call Model T's "phone booths", did people wear their top hat in the car or something?
It ain't legal to drive on roads! FMCSR part 397 states that no vehicle can openly throw projectiles powered by tire rotation onto the highways or into other vehicles! So put some fenders on that crate!!
