Studebaker Pickup Mustang II Pics

Check out this truck! Chuck sent these pictures for our photo sharing draw, and I had to post them here. Also, I’ve included a bit of the email he sent along with the pictures. He recently ordered some more parts, so I asked him how the Mustang II install went:

Hi Charles, thanks very much for another order. It should be shipped tomorrow. How did the Mustang II kit work out for you?
Thanks again
DW Horton

Hello:
I keep meaning to send you pictures of the install of the Mustang II – see attached photos. It came out excellent! I couldn’t be happier, great instructions and a very high quality kit from you. Should have it on the road for Back to the 50′s car show in St. Paul, MN. in June.

Thank you!
Chuck

Working With Tucci on the NSRA Giveaway

Recently, I made the quick jaunt down to Marcy NY to lend a hand on the 2011 NSRA giveaway car being built at Tucci Hot Rods and given away in Louisville in August. Dave and I have worked together a few times in the past, mainly on Sinuous, a 1935 Ford that debuted at Cobo Hall a few years ago. You’ve probably seen it in at least a few magazines. Being an 8 year project, Dave invested a good chunk of his life into this beautiful car. I posted some build pictures on the HAMB: check them out.

Tucci-built Sinuous

Anyways, back to last week… We sent some parts down for the car that Dave had installed before I got there, like the triangulated rear four link kit, but while I was there we installed the engine/transmission, center section, rear sway bar, front Panhard, and I finished up some welding on the frame. Here are some pictures of the fun!

: This is the filled notch in the floor that Dave was hole sawing.

: Then he smooths out the ripplies with a planishing hammer.

It’s always a pleasure to work with Dave and the rest of the Tucci team – he has the skill and equipment to turn out some of the nicest cars across the country.

JH Restorations: Sway Bar Install

I received these pictures from JH Restorations as submissions to our monthly photo draw, and as I looked at the rest of the pictures in his Facebook album, I thought they would be good to use on our site too. The captions are taken right from their Facebook album.

: Next we had to cut the Welder Series sway bar by about an inch. The Tube was already cut off and Jordan used it as a gauge to cut the correct length off of the sway bar.

: Here the bar is mocked up in the frame.

Parts:
WS22700 Universal Sway Bar

Check out the complete build of this 1955 Ford Custom Line.

Getting the brake pedal really close to the frame rail…

I was browsing Grant Schwartz’s website (www.schwartzwelding.com) today and stumbled on this 1947 Mercury gallery. Grant is doing some neat frame work here, but what I zeroed in on was the way he mounted the brake pedal bracket. He used a Welder Series #WS25800 kit, and instead of bolting the pedal bracket to the frame using the tabs in the kit, he shortened the lower plate and set the upper plate on top of the frame rail. This is very similar to the way Lowdown Hotrods did the remote pedal kit in a Model A frame they built (pictures are on the WS25800 product page of our web store). Both these methods will get the brake pedal very close to the inside of the frame rail.

You can also see our #00206 body mount plates Grant used.

1950 Olds Mustang II installed

Here are two pictures sent in by a customer who recently installed our 56″ coil-over Mustang II kit in his 1950 Oldsmobile.

JF Kustoms Riviera

JF sent me these pics of a Riviera he’s building. While the whole project is a bit mind-numbing, I particularly enjoy the frame (since it uses a whole whack of our frame curves!)

I’m pretty confident you’ll be interested in a newish online TV show he’s doing, highlighting the build and sale of his yellow Chrysler wagon project. Also, here’s his website: www.desertspeedshop.com

The Barber Humpback: Update

Paul just got his 1937 Dodge humpback back from Grant Schwartz… could it sit any better?? Grant installed a Welder Series Mustang II kit and a new Hemi, along with some other frame work. Make a point to check out Grant’s website – lots of really neat projects, many using Welder Series parts!
