Thank's Goodwin,I have to fab my own stuff.Because my wife hide's the check book and the credit card's so I can't use them.If it wasn't for the blood I sell every tues. & thurs. And the dairy cow stalls I clean out every other night, I wouldn't get any part's bought.

Here are some more shots of what I did today.I fabed up a radiator cover plate which will need some corner's welded on & then some fender/core surport strut's.I want to use one of those cool anvil auto closeout's so laid the 3/8 rod end's on top of the core surport w/some cone bushing's I had. I will DA the alum. then have it powder coated before instllation.I stoped off at the bone yard last week and found a 3.5 alum. drive shaft out of a 2004 crown vic. cop car ($15.00). Shortened it 5in. and bang it fell right in place. Advanced Auto had some crossover ujoint's ($9.90ea.) that helped it fit my T56 slip yoke & 1310 9in. ford pinion yoke (Labor to shorten priceless).I am going to scotch brite the shaft and leave the painted police decal on it then clearcoat.Now all I need are some,cop shock's & cop brake's and I'm ready to roll.

So cool Scott. Not only (normal) awesome stuff that comes out of your shop, but now vintage parts melded in. I love the look of the radiator cover and fender braces too. Keep going man...

Coming from me? You must have me confused with someone else.

Cars coming along, slowly, but making progress. Thanks for asking. Looks like you've been busy though.

My son Brandon is doing the posting for me. The posting side of my brain is dead/mush.I just happy that we get any photo's posted at all.Brandon's 14 and just got his farm driver's permit,and now want a set of wheel's, so we wont go look at anything until he learn's how to make them bigger.
