Florida is already 98% sand, Perley, a little more spread around won't be noticed...
Brad & Firebird77 - If I had the automatic sifter that Firebird77 was talking about building, I could just dig a hole in the yard, sift the sand, do my blasting, and put the sand back in the hole. Wouldn't cost a penny...
OK. If you've been following this thread then you know that the old friend who punched the louvers in my hood sides wouldn't take payment for doing them. In an effort to partially repay the favor, I did this drawing of his roadster (actually a shortened touring car). In the foreground is the car as it appeared back in 1961 when I took a ride in it. In the background is how the car looks now...Jim

That art work is fantastic!
Looks like you're just as good at art as you are at fabrication!

Ok.. this really gets my goat.
You are obviously one of those people whom can drop their parts in molten lead and pull them out gold plated.
Arright.. well vengence for spiteful people comes in various packages. here is mine: I curse you with another project!
assuming you accept the assignment...
I've had a thought of a T shirt design. Actually, a line of designs, sharing a common theme. The logo would be something akin to TIN GHOSTS or something similar. I think you have the talent to pull it out.
Real simply put: envision an old tin farm at night, with full moon. Add your favorite season of the year. Ok, so you got this old derilect piece of scrap iron, rusting away, bathed in silver moonlight. BUT... superimposed, shimmering in cobalt blue, a vision of what the bucket COULD be...
This is your mission, should you choose to accept it.
this tape will self-destruct in ten seconds..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

That is a great drawing. The longer I look at it the more I appreciate it. So, you did this in your spare time? That can't be much time with everything you do.

I know this is my first post and I will do the introduction thing soon.....bbuuuuttttt.....I just had to say......
Mr. Robinson.....you have caused me two headaches for two days straight.....
Yesterday I started on the thread at page 1 and I just finished reading every page of the thread.....
GREAT work and I may have found a site I am comfortable with....
I have been on Dune Buggy sites the last couple years because I got burned out on the Hot Rod thing, so I just needed a change. My wife was diagnosed with cancer not to long ago and we had to sell one of our buggies, our T-Bucket, motorhome and my muffler shop tube bender to pay the bills AFTER insurance.
Well all is good now and she spotted a Bantam some years ago at a car show and wanted us to build one, I happened to find a body in a horse pasture about six years ago but it is in bad shape, so I put it off and did a few other cars instead....
I have since brought it into the shop and started on it and this thread gives me, not only ideas but inspiration to try and save it.
Great work....more then I can even comprehend......and enjoy the ride when it is done.

on small cars yes. but fat fender cars are pretty much the same in size and weight as the donor car. i found s10 brakes work great on fat fender and pickups. a deuce will just need manual brakes...
