Made the other bracket on the axle for the panhard bar.

I made the other bracket and got it attached to the axle. Now all it needs is the new bar and tie rods.





Finished the exhaust plugs on the 32' sedan

I had the machine shop make me some machined caps to plug the end of the side exhaust.

Got the drag link made for the 32' sedan

I had the machine shop up the street make the drag link bar. Then i'm using model a tie rod ends cause I really like how they look.




29' roadster pickup front panhard bar

I'm getting back on the 29' roadster pickup here in the shop. With the quarter elliptical springs up front there isn't anything to keep the frame from shifting side to side. So i'm making a panhard bar. Made the bracket that welds to the frame.

Got a few more things done inside the car.I got the floor finished, and made the gas pedal. Had to extend an original, but it works great.

Then I got the steering blister mounted, and re-shaped the Schroeder pitman arm to look more like an original ford pitman arm. Then I tapped the end of the Schroeder box and made a dummy set of threads so that I could bolt on a stock ford castle nut and washer. That way cosmetically it looks like all ford components without doing anything unsafe to the steering box.

Got the corner patch panel welded in on the plymouth.

I finished welding in the corner patch panel. Because of the structural piece behind blocking access to the back side of the weld I will have to do some leading to make the panel all smooth.




Made the cover for access to the brake master cylinder.

I made the access cover for the brake master cylinder today. Messed around with my beadroller to create the x design in the middle. I was able to make the x without crushing the middle of the previous bead when I crossed over it.

Got the transmission tunnel made for the 32'

I made the transmission tunnel in the 32' sedan. There was a lot going on especially up front where it needed to be right on top of the support brace that will hold the bottom of the steering box brace.

Got the tail lights mounted on the 32' sedan.

I got the tail lights mounted on the sedan today. I like these cause they are small, compact, and almost have a shark mouth type opening.






Fixing the back of the plymouth

Iv'e been working on the dents and rust on the back of the Plymouth. I first got the panel below the door straightened from the top down half way. Ill make a patch panel to replace the bottom. Then I made a patch panel to replace the drivers side corner.

Oil purification device installed on the 32'

I have an uncle that has invented an oil purifying system that I have on my car. It uses the temperature of the oil, and restricts it down, so that it is super thin inside of the device. Then because of the temperature it allows all the water and gasoline, that has contaminated the oil, to turn into vapor and exit the top. It takes about 2 hours to go through all the oil but at the end the oil is completely clean and free. One test he did was he poured 6 ounces of water into 4 gallons of oil and in 6 hours all of the water was gone.

Then contaminated oil with the water is on the left, and the clean oil after 6 hours is on the right.

Drivers side quarter panel patched on the plymouth.

I had to replace some rust out on the drivers side quarter panel. I cut out the bad area, and then made a patch panel that had the same shape as the quarter panel. Then I got it welded in and finished out.
