A fitting paint job for a work is progress. The new owner can make it pretty if they want to . Then again Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

When I was a kid nearly everyone in my extended family had Model A's. An interesting story is when my Aunt and Uncle were driving down a mountain hiway they were shocked to see a tire and rim roll slowly past them and eventually careen over the side of the road to bounce merrily into oblivion. They thought it was pretty funny but were sad thinking whoever was behind them would be in serious trouble. They continued down the hiway to the flatland when they decided to pull over because the left rear corner of the car had started to sag badly.

Growing up as the son of a body shop owner in the middle of Farm Country I've used ALOT of trcator paint on cars. I have a life long friend that's rebuilding his grandpa's 34 Plymouth Coupe that his grandpa built as a hot rod when he came home from WWII, He's building the same way his grandpa did but he's putting the drive train (273 Engine Torqflight 3 speed auto trans) out of 65 Plymouth Valiant in it, He's going to paint it Fiat Tractor Brown with Massey Ferguson Red pin strips. The Nylon strap "Jumper" seat that his grandpa built for it are rusted up so he's building new ones using the original one.

When my Dad was a kid in the 1950's in Santa Monica, Ca. there was an old man who owned a repair shop. He painted cars with a brush, Dad said you had to look really hard to find a brush mark.

@@ThisOldHotrod, My Dad's friend Dale had a 40 Ford coupe, Dale bought a bored and stroked Olds from the man who painted cars with a brush, it had been in a cord. Dale bought the car from his brother, it came with a Cad La Salle trans, My Dad had mechanical skills, and access to tools. Dale got everything they needed to put the Olds/La Salle combo in the coupe. Dad also had the drivers licence. so he drove everywhere except when they raced. The car had Moon discs and had red oxide primer until it was painted baby blue. Dad says They only lost one race.

With the split wishbone still double bolted to the axle housing, how is the axle able to rotate requiring a 3rd link?
@ThisOldHotrod Жыл бұрын
Thw axle pivots on the front mount. The 3rd link eliminates the rotation of the axle forward and backward. No difference than a original torque tube assembly. The torque rod replaces the torque tube. That’s all it does. Allowing a modern driveshaft.
@ThisOldHotrod Жыл бұрын
The radius rods aren’t as thick as people think. They will bend and flex without a torque tube or torque rod. That’s what I meant by the axle rotating. Flexing the radius rods.

Mike's plan was to build a rough foundation of major parts that someone else, perhaps a beginner, could take over and complete to whatever degree that suits them. The how and when it will be completed will be controlled by their desire, skill level and finances. I think Mike was right by not fixing those minor items as well as not even thinking about all of the many other items needed to finish to the new owners desire. I can't imagine anyone fixing those very small imperfections before further completion. As anything, a hot rod is built in stages, and it is my opinion that Mike has that one to the proper stage to hand off as per his plan. I for one think that Mike has done a great job of even more than I had expected, and I am happy that someone will be getting a very sound foundation to take to the completion that works for them! Many thanks to you Mike for all your fine videos! All very entertaining and inspirational. All the best to you and Alli, Mike!
