Wow, I don't know how to respond to all of this, you guys have been stalking me! Thank you for carring and the great compliments on the sedan. Last week end we took it up north for a 600 mile trip,...

Thanks Don, I finally got all the brackets tacked on the new rear end. Now I will pull it out and weld it all up and stick it back in. I'm going to detail it while it's out and paint the axle tubes....

I know, he is a fanatic. He really doesn't like working on top of someone's work. So he wants the last say before he starts on it. Everything is a reflection of his work, so I understand and do what...

Yes, that is correct. Its called Bond and seal. The German company Wurth manufactures it. It has a freezing to -40 degrees and hi temp to 194 degrees with a max heat range of 250 degrees for up to 8...

I had a little extra time this last week end to work on my sedan. My plan was to have the guy that does the finish work and paint to come over and do the final body work (fix any of my screw ups) and...

Spent the better part of the day drilling holes in the new brackets for the Winter's Quick Change. Some thing take a little longer than others.

Mike ,
Good thing you came threw, I was just about to forward them to WIKI LEAKS or who ever that guy is :LOL:
Now turn over those headlights!!!!
Your friend,
Ken

Thanks Jack, I appreciate it.



Well, I have decided to make a change of plans. Thanks to Robot (Mike in Tucson) phone call.
I have been looking for another quick change for my truck project....

roadster32 - Thanks Steve, I'm really pleased with it. I have to tell you I was dreading welding it in. I just didn't want to screw it up after all the time I had in it.

Dave Severson - Thanks...

Well the insert is welded in. It came out really nice, I believe I will be able to metal finish it. All the time it took to make the bracing inside was worth it. It kept the shape threw the whole...

Don - Thanks, yes, I can go in either direction. Also I can slow it down or speed it up with the pitman arm by varying the length. So unless I have made a catastrophic mistake I should be covered. It...

I got a few things done on the sedan this week end. I had this real heavy wall stainless tubing that I have been using for a door stop far at least 10 years. I turned it into a steering column :LOL:...

I thought I would be welding the top in today, but I wanted to detail the bows and make some minor adjustments to make sure the sheet metal would touch the bows from side to side. By the time I...

Not at all, thanks for the information. My plan was to take my finger and push the excess in bonding the bow to the roof on both sides. Doesn't sound like that is going to work.

Jerry - Great story, there are a few more around here I really miss. I think they leave us way to early.

I want to thank all of you for the warning on the caulking. I looked at what I had today...

Don -- Thanks, yes, that's exactly what I got. I just imagined after the interior is all in and I'm cruising down the road and at a certain speed the harmonics from the wind and the vibration of the...

Your welcome, that makes the time it takes to do this worth while :)
Ken

Thanks Dave, that's for sure. I would of rather made it out of one piece but some times I have help and some times not. so I didn't want to take a chance on making it out of one piece. It's just to...

Worked on the roof, trying to get that finished up. I stepped the front half and laid the rear on that so It comes out flush. Wheeled the corners for the transition from the front to the side, then...

REGs - Thanks, got a long way to go!



Got the other side done today. Now I just have to finish all the bracing. After looking at it installed I think it would of looked better with a series of...

Dave - I asked them and it depends on what there building as to the material, kind of expected that answer. He said if you are leaving marks you are using to much pressure, go slower. I told him, you...

DAVE - Thanks, yep, you have always guessed the material thickness on my stuff, How do you do that?

Whiplash23T - My English wheel is to small to roll it in one piece. I will step the second piece...

Don - Thanks, I really like also. It's one of those projects I have always wanted. I think I looked at a million photo's before I started.

Steve - It has really stiffened the whole roof up. So now...

Whiplash23T - I have done the same thing also, but now I try not to take the short way, it always seems to take longer :LOL:

REGs - Thanks, one piece at a time.

lamin8r - Believe me I have beat...

Yep, I'm going to revisit this after I'm further along.

J. Robinson- I have had the very same thoughts, I know one thing about this wheel it was in a pretty good wreck. Someone straightened it but...
