Saw an #elcamino #towing this #fastback #mustang yesterday. Looks like a #1966. Beautiful possibilities there. #project #musclecar #ford #poway #sandiego #california #hotrod #ratrod #66mustang

Oh, here we go. I forgot I took this. This #ratrod #cadillac I saw cruising #poway road the other day. I know the guy who owns it but I cannot remember his name. But it’s a cool car nonetheless. So we’ll make this my 6th pic for the #5shotchallenge. ————————————————- ———————————————— #sunset #sky #classic #coupe #leadsled #iphonesia #iphoneonly #jj #jj_forum #weird #Photooftheday #imageoftheday #mobilephotography #igers #iger #instahub #instagood #instagramhub #igerssandiego #sandiego #california

Because @bklyntoct tagged me the @5shotchallenge with the theme of #cars I’ll start with my baby as she is now. I’m going to be driving around the next few days since the weather is so nice, but I’ll be trying to find some bearings to make a collar to hold the steering shaft in place. ————————————- ———————————————- #ford #modela #model_a #hotrod #ratrod #car #chevy #project #rust #rusty #patina #metal #iphonesia #iphoneonly #jj #jj_forum #iger #1928 #28 #classic #sandiego #california #poway #igerssandiego

This is how I’m spending my #apocalypse, working on Bettie. Starting some of my #sheetmetal work which I have a tiny bit of experience in. So we’ll see how this goes. This is the toughest one I hope.

I rolled some beads into the back back floor Pam of Bettie yesterday, then welded it back in. The NOS part my buddy sold me won’t work with the new rear end portion of the frame. So I now have more extra pieces to try and sell later. Today before class I get to play with fire and try to arch my rumble seat deck lid more to get it to fit on one side.—————————————- ———————————— ———————————- ———- #ford #modela #model_a #hotrod #ratrod #car #chevy #project #rust #rusty #patina #metal #iphonesia #iphoneonly #jj #jj_forum #iger #1928 #28 #classic #coupe #convertible #sport #igerssandiego #welding #welder #sandiego #poway

Drilling and tapping the mounts for the grill. All done. Still trying to figure out if I want to let it rust or clear cote it. Or restore the grill.

One of the things I was up to yesterday was finishing my grill shell. It’s been cut in half for months and I finally decided to trim the pieces down and put it back together. Tomorrow I’m going by a metal yard to get some perforated sheet metal to use as a #grill. ————————————— ———————————— ———————————- ———- #ford #modela #model_a #hotrod #ratrod #car #chevy #project #rust #rusty #patina #metal #iphonesia #iphoneonly #jj #jj_forum #iger #1928 #28 #classic #coupe #convertible #sport #igerssandiego #welding #welder

Finished my bracing for the back of Bettie. And now she isn’t squeaking so much. Thursday I weld in my toe boards, finish welding the tranny tunnel and hopefully start the patch panels.
