I use bacon grease, it's cheap and smells sooo good when hot....

Use white latex paint with a paint brush......8)8)

mikes686...did you try it on the stainless or chrome, I did the cross member out of a 87 Chevy p/u, had to do it twice one end at a time as it would not fit in the garbage can all at once. Installed in my 51 Panel Truck.

mikes686......Try it and let me know as I haven't tried it as yet.

mikes686....If you use a garden hose, you can wash most of the gunk off while it is still wet.

My suggestion wold be to go with radiant heat, it heats the objects in the shop not the air. We had them in the fab shop where I used to work, -40 below with the door open and you still felt warm. [long as there was no wind] shop was 60'x200'20'ceiling. I personally use wood and a propane...

I was using 1/8 wall square tub for anode and it made a hole after only a couple days of use. A barrel would not be your best friend in this as you could/would lose all your soap solution. Your anode can be any iron scrap you have laying around that you don't need.

Chop looks great, if I could get mine that far I'd be real happy. I have to comment on your grill shell, nothing serious just to much shell above the rad looks a little out of proportion.....keep up the good work.

I rather like the colour, get tyred of the same old colours all the thyme. Besides it looks like a colour that Henry would have come out with.:):):)

Lookin Goood!

Some of you are just getting started with metal work on your vehicles. This is a trick I learned from an older German tin basher. It is what he learned on when he did his apprenticeship in the old country. Nothing more than a simple piece of angle iron cut in the middle to form a circle, held...

Quote: "it appears i cut on the wrong side of the tape with one cut," Remember...It's not a mistake till it leaves the shop, besides if you fix it right only you will know. Nice job.....

A wire rope cup work well and so does the wire rope wheel. The narrowness of the wheel allows access to the tight areas. So does good old naval jelly, its slow but it does work.

You got a good start on your truck, Your sbc looks strong with the double bump heads, what elae is done to it? I take it your running hood and fenders, I like the stock look as well. Keep on hammering and have fun......

Spider: Got to love photo shop, can make up your mind on what to do, or what not to do.

Time for an update, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. Decided to run a good heater and defroster system. It tends to get a little cool at night.
