Semi-heated ;) This is my attached garage and I have a couple of space heaters that I turn on about an hour before I go out and start working. Been thinking of building a detached garage/shop as my...
I'll try to get some pics up soon. Worked on the passenger side last couple of weeks. Lower A pill is tacked on and have the rockers lined up - hung the door and set the gaps, etc. relay need to...
I've heard good things about Hobart welders, but they don't generally have continuous/infinite controls. I have a Miller MIG and have gotten fairly decent. It's a dual voltage unit and I've welded...
I work near there, so I go there occasionally. Wasn't my '57 as it's still in thousands of pieces in my garage ;)
Welcome. I live about 20 minutes west of Atlanta.
Had the day off (we have to use all our days by end of year), so I was tinkering in garage. Drivers side door opening is too narrow. How'd that happen? Everything's held together with sheet metal...
Measurements/pics would be most appreciated. Unfortunately, both sides were pretty rotten in the bottom corner near the hinge. Previous owner had done some
"repairs" with some 1/8" steel plate -...
I'm kinda stuck now as I don't want to start on the passenger side as I was using it as my "guide." I braced it up and hung a door on it to make sure it was okay for measurements sake. So I don't...
Does every one have issues with replacement metal not fitting worth a crap? The first driver's toe board didn't have the correct curve on it, the second one I tried fit fine. Now, the driver's...
Haven't been on the site in a while - I was blocked off-and-on til the server move. I generally "surf" on my tablet, and I hate posting from it.
Also, been out of town with work, etc, so I haven't...
What part of Georgia, Bob? I'm west of Atlanta
Thanks for the advice. Yeah, labor wise, $1000 seems cheap now, but I need the money and the experience ;)
The curves of the toe boards and the floor don't match so well - sherman toe boards,...
I talked to the "sweet" guy for quite a while on the phone. He talked a good bit about how complete it was, etc. I also know that PRC has a pretty good reputation. There's a thread on the "other...
So, as part of my sheet metal work, I want to get doors lined up before I finish welding in floor, rockers, etc. So, I want to rehang the fenders, etc. PO had cut the core support up. This got me...
Finally updating. Site kept kicking me out and I kept having to reset password, so I'd always say I'd update later...
Everyone I talked to want $1000+ to just do my floor. doing the outer rockers...
I've been traveling a good bit lately and working a ton of hours in general. I think I've decided to hire out some of the work on my car. My wife is tired of parking in the driveway and I really...
I cut out most of the big part of the floor today using cut-off wheels for the floor and sawzall for the braces. Now to start on the fine work - drilling out spot welds, etc. I'll be out of town for...
Should I be cutting towards the rotation of the wheel or against it?
I may grab a box at HF if they have them locally - I don't recall seeing them, but I have a hard time finding crap in there.
I was using a die-grinder with an arbor and 1/32" cut-off wheels. I got maybe 18" off cutting out of each one - maybe that's normal...
I think a sawzall blade with more teeth-per-inch would not...
Started cutting out the floors. Went through several cut-off wheels - cheap ones from tractor supply. Used a sawz-all for the braces. Didn't get a whole lot done and I need to use some better and...
For moisture control I have a few runs of black pipe close to the tank that go up a down vertically with drains on each then a water trap,etc. I really only have one drop (it's a normal 2 car...
No, floor pan does not include that part. Yes pic is upside down. I was just using that as an example of seeing a picture is worth a 1000 words so to speak.
I have a 60 g 2 stage Quincy. I can post pics when not on iPad.
