Thread: One Way To Build A '32 Hyboy

You've got to leave the body off of this car Ken. All those parts are too nice and interesting to cover up.

How is your Wife's healing and therapy coming?

Don

There's a giant spider looking in the windshield Ken, never know what shows up in the shop huh?
Is that the peice in place with the 2 hose elbows? No, different bolts, so that is going to be an fitted hoses? Very cool.

Steve-It looks like Sunday would be best for me, if that works for you.

Dave-Thanks, little by little.

Don-That's funny you say that, I would rather look at a real detailed chassis than a complete car!! She is doing better, it is going to take a while.

Brickman-That's the adapter, I just don't have the right bolts in it. The fittings that are in it are regular stainless hose ends, that's what I will cut off, using only the radius, then weld stainless tubing to continue to the bulk heads in the scatter shield. The SPIDER is another fuel and electrical set up. I wanted a different pattern on the lines but it turned out to be almost the same as the first one. I would have to move the distribution block to get what I want. I don't want to do that.

I picked up my seat today, he finished the foam work. Now I can set the steering column. Worked on the dash for a while.
Ken

Hey Ken, I sure do like the beefy cowl support!!!!! Should keep all the twisties and shakies out of things in the dash!!!!!

hey ken, ... I could do your interior for ya! hahaha, We are currently in the middle of a 34' vikky. jp, im sure urs will turn out beyond perfection!

Dave-That's one of the reasons I chose the Dearborn.It is really a rigid body. If you get a chance to crawl under one you can really see the thought that went into the construction.

Tim-If you can post some photo's of it when your done, I would like to see it. I'm always in the wrong time zone when someone offers to help

Ken

haha will do! what are you plans for your interior?

Ken looks great. Sunday best for me too, will give you a call Friday once I'm down there or saturday. Looking foward to seeing this car and the truck!

Hell if it's help you want, throw out the cot I'm on my way!! Spending a week in your shop learning from you would be like a vacation to Disneyland to me! Like a trip to Hotrod Heaven!

Hey Brick, I'll go along and we can make it a shake down run for the '48.

If anyone is going to the Good Guys event this week end in Bakersfield Ca. stop by our booth and say hello. Mike and Colleen are there (a little water cooler action going on I think) or if you are going to the River Run in Laughlin Nevada see Charles, Elliot, or Scott tell them to give you a T shirt.

Tim-It's going to back dark Grey and darker Grey (my wifes choice) with some thin chrome trim going threw the kick panels and door panels. I'm not going to have any carpet in it it will be all leather on the floor with chrome strips where the wear areas are. I will use floor mats for everyday use but if I show it I'll take them out.

Brickman, NTFDAY-Come on out I'm getting tired !

Ken

well im looking forward to seeing it! but ill just stay content in watching your process!

I don't know how to explain this, if this doesn't make sense just ask questions. What I wanted to do is make a cold air system for my motor. I'm sure that Pat and all you guys that build motors have experienced the advantage of cool air. I have been dynoing a LS7 for a while now and have learned a few things. It likes to run hot, it likes cold air and it really likes cold fuel. So I want a happy motor
With side panels on my car, the engine compartment temperatures are going to be very high. I really have not seen any air filter system I like for throttle body's and they all are using under the hood inlets. So I decided to try and make a cold air system for this car, and pretty much hide it from the outside. Since will run the hood and side panels most of the time. So here it is.
I just whacked out the front of the cross member and found a filter that would slip into the frame added on to the cross member to get the strength back. The front plate isn't in there yet but it will match the back one. Built it's own little housing to slip into.
Ken

Then all you have to do is turn some 4" round tubing into an oval and run it into the bottom cross member and you should get some cool air.
