The little one is doing a great job sanding. It's good to get kids into cars at a young age. (or maybe not, financially). Both of my sons are gear heads and they've already got their kids into cars at a young age. I can blame my gearheadness on my dad. First car I remember of Dad's was a fairly new 49 Ford Club Coupe with a full house flathead. :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
yeah she really likes the car and she wants me to paint flames on it.
one of the many reasons im powdercoating is . i live on the jersey shore and there is alot of sand in the streets and little pebbles , cars get pretty abused down here with it. the other reason is the durability while working on it also .
oh yeah thanks for the compliment on shifter that is the 14th one i tried for looks and now im happy
Powder coating the frame, IMO, is the only way to go. BUT, for sure do a full blown assembly before you strip it to go out for coating. Luckily I only had a couple of holes to drill and tap after mine was done.
Your little cutie helper is nice - enjoy your time with her because before too long she will "too busy" to help dad. Mine helped, then she was gone on to more interesting things for her - now married, living 200 miles away in NJ and raising her own 3 kids with a husband (good guy) that doesn't know which end of a hammer to hit with.
Here is my PC frame
gettin close to completion for the frame being all done .....
well guys the frame went off for powdercoat sat and should see it back by weeks end . it was a long road and many hours to get ready but im sure the outcome will be great , the entire car was built in steel then broke down , i also may have found a paint hookup for the body as well;)
I have been following with high interest your build along with the informative discussion it has created. I am building a Brookville 32 also so there is good reason for me to pay attention what is going on as you build yours. I'd like to ask what tire size and brand you are using, front and back.
Thanks
Your Deuce is going to be amazing. Everything on it is just so well done and cool. Really envy you. :) :)
Don
thanks guys .....im running nitto in the rears and firestones in the front ..its oddball but looks good i got the threads i like ...ill get the sizes for you as soon as look at them again . but to inform you im running 17s in the back and 15s in the front , if i were to do it again i would have sprung for the 16in rims in the front to balance the rim size as you look at the car at a side shot ...but mine still looks cool
whose shifter are you using?
got it out of the moon catalog..
Dave,
That's one of the best looking frames I've seen in person or in a magazine. Great work.
Oh - and I like Cool Whip myself . . . :D
Thanks, Jack,Quote:

Tell me about a buck or two. My wallet has stretch marks.
What wallet - mine is being held captive by a conspiracy of parts suppliers - i.e. Brookville, TCI, Yogi's, Speedway, Yearwood, Lokar, Dick Spadaro:LOL: :LOL: :3dSMILE: :CRY:Quote:

Haven't you learned yet that a hobby car is like the proverbial boat - a hole in the water that you continue to shovel money into except the car is a hole in the air. I started my car by keeping an Excel spread sheet until it frightened me. I still have the spread sheet but haven't added a thing to it in 3 years, The receipts are filed and if I need a good cry someday, I'll finish the sheet.
I kept a tally on the first one. After that, I only keep the receipts I need to prove value for insurance and to obtain title/registration.
well chassis is back today ill post pics soon , im real excited to start bolting stuff on . i have tommarow off so ill get a few things done .
