I disassembled the box sides. All these pieces make up one side. There's wood boards sandwiched between the panels.

I keep going back to your last poem, crate. It's good, real good.

Got to disagree. 1/8" aluminum diamond plate supported on a 40" span by 2" by 4"'s on 12" centers should be sufficient. If he's just filling in the 40" span only one of the bikes would be in the span area, sitting on the construction. The crossbeams must be well fixed to the ramps though. Now...

Dutch, the bed will be raked at the same angle as the cab. That should alleviate any eye strain. Yesterday marked our 60th wedding anniversary. I've devoted this week to long overdue chores the little woman has been asking for. Not much time left for Dodge building.

It should lower about an inch with the rest of the weight.

Got a front wheel on and placed the radiator and shell. The front axle and tie rod prevent moving it rearward. The shell is shown higher than it will be. Won't be any higher than the cowl. The cab is tilted forward in this pic and the frame and suspension remains as built.

So let me get this straight. A 102 year old man walks out onto the sidewalk, gets mugged and his phone is stolen. We're supposed to celebrate that the low life thug didn't kill him? I'm grateful he didn't get severely injured or killed. But I'm more than angry that this is becoming more...

None better.

Don't sell out, smallfoot. You'll find yourself in politics.

Change of plans: Picked up a bunch of sheet metal and decided to fab my own body. Worked all night. Hope you like it. Actually, this was in a parking lot on my way to get morning Diet Pepsi.

That anvil is a beauty now with the work you have done to it. The base couldn't be better.

It's sitting at ride height in front. Yesterday I raised the back of the cab just a bit. With the tall, flat back it made a subtle, but good difference in appearance. Should be okay. BTW, those are 3-2 by 4's stacked on edge to approximate the bed side. I'm celebrating today because I didn't get...

I've got points distributors in 3 of my cars, including a dual point, no vacuum advance one in a roadster. Points, rotor and condenser used to be packaged together and sold as a tune up kit.

Here it is as is and the second shot is with the rear raised 4 1/2". Now was think I need to put some forward tilt on the cab. Any opinions?

I'm not celebrating that Ed survived getting mugged. I'll celebrate when the streets are safe and 102 year old people can move about in their own neighborhood without fear.

The frame is married to the cab. Just siting on it. I'll need to put a box side on it to fully observe the stance. Now, it looks a little low in back. It's nice to reach this milestone though.

About 10 years ago Ed was a guest at the Meltdown Drags in Rockford, Ill. I was there with my dragster. Ed was signing autographs. I waited to get one. Didn't want a piece of paper with his signature so I took off my "Hop Up" magazine Tee shirt and exposed my pasty white, muscle free body to the...

That's why I suggested eliminating the vacuum advance for the time being. Vacuum advance as OI states, rotates the breaker plate, mechanical advance rotates the distributor cam. You don't need vacuum advance. It gains you a couple miles per gallon at light load, part throttle cruising speeds.

So Tripper, bull riding is one of your hobbies???

The 2024 season has begun. We get together all winter, every Thursday, but with the weather improving, the cars are beginning to show up. Original Barracuda, Ford in a Ford '40 as nice as they come. Here's a new one: Dodge crew with front drive Caddy stuck in back. (Might be and Olds Toronado.)
