Working on the exhaust headers on the Phaeton.

We were lucky to have some old headers off another flathead here at the shop to use. I had to do some modifying to the rear exhaust leg on the drivers side so it would clear the steering tube.

Got the transmission mounted in the Phaeton

I worked on getting the transmission mounted. I had to clearance out the crossmember under the transmission a little more. Then I was able to make a trans mount.

Finished the rear crossmember on the Phaeton.

I finished re-shaping the rear crossmember. Now I have to make the spring hangers that attatch to the axle and hold the spring. But overall it raised the spring quite a bit over how it was stock.

Got part of the crossmember re-shaped on the Phaeton.

I worked today on getting the center of the crossmember square instead of curved. Then I got that placed at the height I wanted in the car. Then I got the one piece re-shaped to connect it back onto the frame.

Working on modifying the rear crossmember for the new spring on the Phaeton.

I worked today on modifying the rear crossmember. Were going to run a 36' straight spring and the crossmember needs to be flattened so that the I can mount the spring up higher on the axle.

First I put bracing all over so that nothing would move when I removed the rear crossmember. Then I cut out the center, and the removed the other two sides. I have to modify the center piece by taking out some pie cuts so that I can make it straight.

Got the rear Pete and Jake ladder bars tacked in place on the Phaeton.

I worked on getting the rear ladder bars tacked in place today. Now I can work on the rear spring.

Made motor mounts on the Phaeton

I worked on getting motor mounts made on the Phaeton.

Figuring out the shape of the back of the VIcky.

I worked today on trying to figure out how I wanted the shape of the rear panel on the Vicky. After a few tries I think I got the shape that I'm looking for.
