Ryan brought over a one piece hood he wanted punched with 3″ louvers for Mother’s Day? I’d like to find or make some old time louver punches, the round top ones like we see in all the small mags…. -I get it now, if you turn the hood around the louvers make an M -I’m sure his mom will love it
New shop truck!

So I was out wheeling and dealing on the weekend for this -I really wanted another army truck like a hole in my head -but cool is cool, it’ll need some love and a diesel, but which one? I’m thinking the plate should be NWO AOK
I love shinny parts

Bill’s Model A
Posted by Stony Smith | January 21st, 2013 | Filed under What's New
This A has been in Bill’s family for a looong time, it took them a day to get the car out of the barn, apparently they had to move a few tractors and mountains of parts to get to it. It’s a real nice car and would be an easy restoration –but what fun is that, really –bring a car back to as good as it was in 28, pffft –not at Oddball.
Bill and I had talked a lot about the car, and based on the pics and conversations back and forth from Alberta we came up with the plan –he wanted to use a LS engine which is loads of motor for an A –he has the engine out there so I found a donor. We decided not to channel the car, leave some room for the exhaust to run down the outside of the frame rail, and to maximize head room. 4-link air bagged rear. The 2” chop looks like it should have left the factory that way. Once all the fab was done it was off to sandblasting and paint –the chassis went gloss black, and the body was Epoxy black. Bill will finish this car off at home now, and with all the hard parts are done he gets to build a giant model kit
–mice love gas tanks, these guys were pro’s –the entire tank was full of nest.
Eugene’s Burgman
Posted by Stony Smith | January 20th, 2013 | Filed under What's New
So this one will be a challenge -more of a engineering head scratcher. The Burgman is known as the Skywave in Japan and has been customized in thousands of ways –but the engine is a different design here on the 650, the rear suspension travels like a regular swing arm, in Japan the whole engine moves –Eugene wants a full on Japanese style of conversion –we’re going to leave the engine where it is and extend the swing arm –we just haven’t figured out how to do it yet, stay tuned….. the air ride etc will come later
