    Is the Lincoln and the T bird really stainless?
    I haven't seen the '36 in person, but have read a lot about it. what a prize that would be to own one.

    I got my whishbones today and I ordered a extra set of beams, that I will make the ladder bars out of. He makes these in a replacment length for So Cal hairpins and a set that are 8" longer. The ends with the slot are cast, then welded in. The tooling he has is extremly nice.

    Ken,
    Those wishbones look fantastic!! Here's a link to a history of the three cars commissioned by Allegheny Ludlum Steel.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    Cool story Roger, and nice catch Bob on the three different cars made in stainless.
    Ken - those wish bones hooked to the axle and frame are stunning to look at. I think you need to fab some stainless body panels now!

    Steve - I think by the time I finish this thing I won't want to see a piece of stainless steel for the rest of my life


    Steve - If I can help you with this let me know, if you get serious about getting a set.

    Ken I hear you! If I ever get done with bondo and dents just on the pickup bed, I'll never attempt another project with a 63 year old truck body again
