Ok jackel440, now that you have it up and running I am concerned you will become bored, so in an effort to help you out, if you will send me a materials list I'll load up my trailer and head your way and you can build me one just like it LOL. All kidding aside I am very impressed with your fabrication skill, while I can weld well enough to keep my old farm equipment patched together I have never been good at designing and fabrication. Off subject, was that an old Plymouth I saw in your shop in one of the photos of the build? If so and considering the 440 in your user name I would bet your a Mo-Par guy. Enjoy that boy, while I,m 6'3'' and 260 lbs. I have to lookl up to mine now and he can't even think about fitting into my coveralls anymore. Once again congrats on the completion.
Well I appreciate your concern for my boredom. ;)I want you to rest assured I have already started to brainstorm a little on a nice log splitter for my operation here.
As far as a material list I have a stack of half burned up prints that I made somewhere in the shop that you could try to decipher.LOL!
You could probably buy 2 new ones for what I would have to charge you labor for one.LOL Plus I don't think you would like the 5 month lead time.
I thank you for the compliments on my fabbing.I am by no means the best ,but I do a decent job that I am not afraid to take to the fair.I do fabrication at work everyday.I am a millwright by trade so I love what I do.
Yeah my son warmed my heart yesterday.He told me that he is writing a paper in school about his 3 favorite things and I am one of them.Next to the Wii and his nerf gun,but (not in a particular order).
Yeah I am a mopar man.I love the fact I get to work at Chrysler and then play with them at home.
Now there is 2 cars sitting in the shop.A 68' Coronet 440 ,but I believe you are talking about the white one.
That is a 1960 Desoto Fireflite with a 361 and the push button automatic.
Thanks again for following along.Now there is going to be some more pics and another video to come so come back and check in.
