XXO/BVGC '38 Chevy Coupe Build

[lsrjunkie]

Right on Buddy! Looks pretty slick!

[Milwaukee Midget]

I'm pretty excited! I made a deal yesterday on a new 'house' for the FlatCad. It should make hauling and working on the car easier!

Guess I'm going to have to keep doing this at least one more year! Lol!

Room there for both the Flat Cad and the Midget.

Pick me up on the way by . . .

Sweet looking car palace!

First thing you do is buy the BEST tires you can buy.

That's the solution to an ongoing problem and the best

insurance policy you can have.

Do it now. You will end up doing it along side the road sometime

if you don't do it before you hit the trail.

Buddy,

Nice trailer and I am sure you will get good use out of it.

What I need is the BARN next to the trailer.

Awesome trailer! Plenty of room for goodies.

Don't know what your tow vehicle is but when I got my 24' enclosed and towed on the highways for the first time I got pushed around pretty much from semi's.  Not wanting a 5000 mile white knuckled round trip, decided to go for a special anti-sway hitch.  Not cheap but absolutely no sway, not your regular sway bar or cam-locks, its an odd arrangement but works.

Buddy are you going to be selling time-shares for Speed Week? 

Nice rig!!

Tom, you could probably break it down and have Buddy deliver it to you.

that trailer has so many addons that you are going
to use. should save you a lot of money.

looking to upgrade my 5 by 8 V nose now.
those extras are big $. I'm sure you know.

good point on the tires, and there are 6 that can go bad.

picked up a nail coming back from limestone in July ;  after being alerted
by a motorist in Mass., had enough time to get off the highway to a safe spot.
by then the sidewall was crapped out. went about 30 miles on the spare and
 couldn't take it anymore-- stopped in a mid-size town and found brand new
 trailer tires to fit . had one mounted and the other one was taken care of
back in Cleveland . a brand new set.

buddy, check the sidewall date codes on any tires you purchase.
mine were produced in June.

Tom......what are you going to store the barn in?

You don't have time to raise it even if you had it.

Ya know Buddy you can sell the house and live in there, more money for the Flat Cad..............

Chris and Freud,

Thanks, but what I meant is that I need to find a Barn like that around here for all my junk.

Tom G.

Tom G.

I just figured you would store the barn along with all

of your other treasurers. I could imagine your neighbors

banding together to help you put it out of sight.

Sorta like it was a collectable.

Doc,

I sent you a PM. Now let's get back to the topic, which is Buddy's 38 Chevy Coupe Build.

Thanks,

Thanks guys! I'm pretty excited to have an enclosed trailer for the car!

Freud, the first thing I'll do is make sure I have good tires-I hate changing flats!

awelker, it has a load distributing hitch, so I should be in good shape!

Woody, I can put a cot in there for you-we'll just have to lock you in every night! LOL!

Franey, I'll be checking the tires out closely-Thanks!

In the mean time, Randy and I got the engine out of the car and on a shipping pallet. The engine is headed to Don's shop. I'll fly out there on the 20th, and Don and I will dismantle the engine.

Lock-N-Stitch is just around the corner from Don, so we'll drop the block off there for repair.

My goal is to get the engine back together by December, and on the dyno by January. We're not planning any engine changes this year, just repair, and test and tune!

Aero, on the other hand, will continue to be attacked!
