    Ridge Runner got a reaction from SWPruett in 69-70 coupe driprail question   
    They are welded ,the roof sets on top of them and spot welded inside the channel .if you cut them away you have to weld the roof skin back to what is left of the drip rail

    65 66 is to narrow ,i have found the 1 1/8 front bar to be the best ,start going bigger and it can rip the sway  bar mount from the body

    Although i have been using these antique irons as weights ,this one weighs 7 lbs ,they would also make a nice little anvil ,just clamp the handle in a vice and bang away !

    I found the perfect spoon dolly for getting into those curved panels and slipping behind braces ,who can guess what they actually are haha ? Thought they were cast iron but turns out they are forged steel .

    Yeah ,with the stands they would make a pretty good panel planisher. ,i didnt have the stands ,i do have two of the shoe anvils though so i should be able to make a stand for the other one  .picked up 12 antique irons ,they weigh 8 pounds each,i use them for weights bonding fiberglass together

    Ridge Runner got a reaction from RPM in What Coating   
    All the ones i have are silver cad plated ,the very tip about 1 inch is rubber coated ,the flat plate is body color ,sometimes you will see under the cowl where they laid them there while painting the car and it left the out line with primer showing where they were sitting

    I bought one of those harbor freight car ports to keep it in ,last night i was in the house and i hear a car running ,i go out side and the car port is blown up like a balloon  . Some how it started ,and i dont have any idea how long it ran ,i thought my brother started it but he said no ,i did have the remote in my pocked and i must have bumped it but i never heard it start and its fairly loud when it does . I checked on it all night just to make sure it didnt drive off on its own !

    I love these seats ,black leather with black swade insets but they are a bit hard to get into with the wrap around on the seat backs ,it doesnt give much but feels good when you are setting in them . Back seat has quite a bit of room also ,but those quarter sails are impossible to see around . I like the navigation but most of all i like the fact that it has dials for the radio ,heater and AC instead of the touch screen crap .they had installed Corsa exhaust ,quiet at an idle and normal driving but when you step on it you know it .i looked it up and that cost $2,000.
    It has factory 3:92 gears as part of the super track pack and it turns around 2200 rpms at 60 mph .
    it even has one of those new fangled BOOM BOOM radios ,you know the kind ,the kind that rattles your windows when they pull up next to you . On the way home my brother asked what that boom was coming from the trunk area ,i told him it was the sub woofers BOOM BOOM BOOM HAHA!

    I went on an expedition into the deepest darkest reaches of my shop ...people have been known to dissapear in there ,well not really ,but a lot of parts have mysteriously vanished there !
    I found 3 1937 hoods ,2  36 hoods and a bunch of headlights ,some with the stainless trim rings .
    I had forgotten i made rear fender molds ,and one side running board mold ,probably because right after i made the molds i found steele fenders ,and there is still more to dig out ,the green molds are for a model t go cart i used to build and may make again . I have to find a place to put it and keep it all together .
