My New Project 1963 AC B1
- Thread starter Jim Sullivan
- Start date
The grill is a piece of aluminum expanded metal and the top was missing a piece. I couldn't find replacement metal that was close enough, so for now I've just used some scrap aluminum and made a trim piece for the top. I was going to polish it, but then I remembered I have a roll of engine turned vinyl. So I figured why not use that. I will probably use the same vinyl to cover the "used to be chromed" grill retainers.
The grill is done. Now gotta wet sand all the sheet metal.

Is that a 1935 grille shell?

35. And 36 were almost identical. The 36 was deeper than the 35 by a few inches
Sheet metal is painted. On to the engine and frame.
The hood has a nice gloss and no dust.

Looks great!!!!
Thanks James. A little reorganizing today for a temporary photo studio. My wife and daughter were taking pictures of rabbits for a contest that the Thrianta rabbit club is having. They're picking photos for next years club calendar. I didn't get any rabbits photos though.
My garage is so full of stuff, I'll never get it cleaned up.

Well my wife did comment a few months ago that I need to start getting rid of stuff, because she doesn't want to have to deal with it if something happens to me. 
But , I kinda agreed with her so I started dragging my old snowmobiles out where I could clean them off and moved my old hemi out of the shed so I can start trying to sell off some of the stuff I know I'll never use. One step at a time.

I have both the garages and the cellar stuffed with "stuff", that I don't need. Problem is that I am just to damn old to give a damn about anything. She keeps saying that she has nightmares thinking of what to do with all of it. I keep telling her, that I have to leave something for her next husband to deal with. My biggest problem is that I can't find some of the things that I need to finish my cars. My hedge trimmer was missing for almost a year, and I found it when I was looking for something else. If I organize everything, then I will have to get rid of 95% of it. I admit that I have a problem. It is called old age, and I just don't give a damn! My friends call me "Grumpy", but my real name is "Cantankerous"!
Going somewhere???
Sold the 93 Town Car a couple weeks ago and taking the Knuck to the Antique Rally in the Quad Cities Friday. Time to thin the herd.
I'm not into bikes at all, but that sure is nice looking Dave.
Had some free time today to slap some decals on the hood. I assembled the seat last week.
Made up an alignment bushing to drill the exhaust guide for a brass bushing insert. Cut the valves and ground the seats. Ground the valve stems to set the lash. Replaced the gaskets and crank seals, now the engines ready to go back together.
