Love the build just saw it...I am like most here and just look at peoples progress and enjoy what they have done...I dont get a lot of comments on my Gasser build here but people are watching it and have had no negative comments..even though it is to radical for most peoples taste...keep posting...
Made a little progress...every Gasser needs a Moon style tank up front...will be using it as an over flow coolant tank instead of for fuel used some angel stock and tubing for the bracket
still pecking away...had to replace the first front axle due to camber being off and way to much money to ship and have fixed..so I found another $40..plus time to repaint and paint costs...also mounted the hood and going to let the paint harden some more before I finish cutting the paint and...
No ...I am not set up to do any thing but real simple stuff any more...more than half of this job was spray bomb done...and a nail gun compressor to do the clear...not near enough to do it right...but I make due with what is on hand...used to do a lot of paint work back in the day...art...
Well I have gotten around to painting the hood...went old school with some thing that was popular in the early 70's...not done yet still have to wet sand to level the art work and then another couple of coats more of clear
got the primer coat on today...I will be doing a faux rivet and panel design to hide the bolted and panel bonded scoop part line.......molding on to the alloy hood was not an option due to the flex of the hood and a huge difference in expansion rates
Well it has been a while...but I am still picking away at the truck...my house projects have slowed down the progress a lot...did not like the 4 inch dropped axle so I hunted down a genuine Ford 1937 axle and converted from behind spring to over the axle type...it moved the front wheels further...
Well I am back at it...slow going with other summer to do stuff...I am working up my new cross member for the transverse axle...got it mostly hacked out, still have to do a little more shaping and rounding corners...I hate sharp stuff at my age
Been busy but I did do some thing crazy...to the truck.. I decided to go with a suicide front axle, still doing frame mods so the center section can support the truck with out bending or breaking...got it figured out I am making up brackets as I go had to make a new trans cross member to attach...
Well I am back at it...made some brackets that will help in the frame horn department...they go along side the frame and under as well...right at the weak spot near the cross member...made from flat stock...still have to make a pattern for the holes...also finished up the moon tank
