weekend wrenching plans?

 

I plan to work on my other project this weekend. My trucks are in hibernation for the winter.

I'll be taking the doors off the Buick and getting it ready to mount on the rotisserie. Sl far I've replaced about 40% of the trunk area:

Replaced the entire trunk


Replaced rear pan and tool tray



All pieces were fabricated by hand with basis body tools, some angle iron and a 2" pipe.

Not FTE subject but it's still hobby related.

 

Might put the new down and forward springs () that I received last weekend on my '55!

 

More brake work and maybe a carburetor troubleshoot/rebuild? Oh yeah and that pesky hydraulic clutch line that keeps falling off the master. I hate the M5OD that came with the 302 that was shoehorned into by 51 F1. The hydraulic clutch is very temperamental! I hope to get to the front alignment if I can find the time and money for new tires! I hope that solves the steering issues.... somewhat at least..... It should be a good weekend!

 

No wrenching planned, but I might bend a few nails and strip a few screws......

This place has taken over my time and money, I plan to move there after the remodel is complete

 

Got the old water pumps off this week, started putting on the new ones. I'll probably play around with trying to figure out how to get a big torque wrench into a tiny space. Any suggestions?

 

Maybe install the starter and hunt for a radiator. But most of tomorrow will be use to lower the wife's bike an inch, change the oil and clean it up. Getting ready for spring time! Oh yeah, and see if I can squeeze in a antique car sale and swap meet at Talladega Speedway.

 

The lap belts just came today while I was out, so I'll put those in. Maybe I'll need a wrench for that.....

 

I am going to remove the body off my 76 bronco. Hopefully get the engine out as well. If there is time I will take two tub parts to the scrap yard to get rid of them.

 

Now that winter is nearing it's end around here, I am going to put a blower motor on my daily so I don't have to go without heat anymore.

 

I've been working on a front bumper for my 55; I got the idea from CCT issue the guy used 3" x1/4 in plated bolted to the frame hornes and bent 3/4 round rods to contour the bottom of the roll pan. I just need to bend the rods and weld them to the 1/4" plates.

 

I'll try to stay in the garage all weekend. i need to get my 87 audi 4000 finished up so i can start ripping the 53 f250 apart. i just have to spray and wetsand before throwing all the trim and lights on her. this audi project has taken way longer then planned for a simple paint job.

 

Plenty of wrenching plans for the weekend... ...unfortunately my truck doesn't factor in. My mother-in-laws 97 Explorer has started leaving puddles of antifreeze under it so I have to fix that. I need to work through some wiring and fabricate some seat mounts for my Jeepster Commando.

If the weather holds then I'd to take a ride on the Harley

I hope you all success

Heading south to the "big" city this weekend for some G&T, i.e., guns and tools. Gun show at the state fairgrounds and tools at HFT. So I'll be looking at 38s, 44s, 45s, and some wrenches, winches, and wenches. Might even buy a few except for the latter.

 

I think I will start to work on the 56 style bed for my 60 F100. The bed has had wood on it in the past, and I would like to be able to get the old bolts out of the way. But first I'm going to do the brakes on my Honda Valkyrie. That will be the priority project tomorrow. It's my daily commuter. Then back to the F100 after that.

So I did put the brakes on my Valk so it is up and running. That will let me commute this week. Also made it to the inlaws which was not that great. We did get to the comic book shop so I think today isn't a complete loss. Didn't get to the F100. Oh well. Can't do everything. Maybe later in the week. I need to see when the State inspector is coming to do road worthy inspection.
