As the secret Roller Nailer 1930 Ford Hot Rod Coupe is nearing it’s completion we need to show of the fuel clamps. Not like any other clamp, these are made from stainless material in a five axis CNC apparatus under very tight security. This clamp will survive a nuclear war while still looking good.
This hot rod is coming together nicely. With chrome offset by shiny black paint it will be a pretty snazzy car and with a stump puller chromed out 425 Buick Nail head, 4 speed and 9 inch limited slip rear…it will be a handfull.
As always, the devil is in the details…so here are some details:
Close up of truck hinge. Slotted screws are used for the old timey feel and the material is polished stainess for the looks.
Trunk handle and Lucas license plate light.
Maybe we will show more of this car…maybe…
Got the modifications done and the “body work” finished on the heater housing. The gun metal grey hammer paint looks nice. More on this heater project later…
This is the down tube on the headers. It will sneak inside the frame and be painted black so it visually disappears.
Custom made weed burners are ready to assemble. The black down tubes makes them pretty much invisible…almost.
Also, the black “hole” in the block off plates makes the header look uncorked…almost.
Mo later…
More later…
This is the FOUR-HUNDRED-TWENTY-FIVE-CUBIC-INCH engine going in the Roller Nailer chassis:
Lonely chassis waiting for POWER !!
Roller Nailer Roller. The car is now an official roller. This is always a milestone.
Now we need to plumb brakes etc and then we need a bad ass roller rocker stump puller 425 Nailhead with four speed posi traction bla, bla, bla…coming soon.
Some progress on the 1931 Ford hot rod build.
It’s very rewarding to assemble nice shiny components with nice shiny bolts.
Brakes are so purdy it’s kinda sad to put the drums on…
Got the limited slip drop out installed. I guess that makes it a drop in??
Front spring pack assembled and ready to go in.
Mo later…
Got the rear end installed today.
