      When the seat is mounted we can make race car noises!

      Today’s project is the manufacturing of a steering column support bracket. Brackets are the bane of all builders and we ultimately try to always accomplish at least 2 things for each one we make.
      We will also endeavor to reduce their size and weight as we get all the measurements dialed in. Shorten, drill, grind, and ounces will add up to pounds.

      Just trying to get the controls out of the way. Steering column and shifter were on the agenda for today.

      Motor mounts for a SBF are quite easy as they are a flat plate. I would have preferred to have some flexible motor mounts but with limited clearance under the cowl I have chosen solids for the engine.

      I haven’t forgot about the threads that I post. I have been busy with a rather large project at home that has been consuming my time and limiting my access to the car, or at least where I am building the car. (Guesses are welcome)
      The project is currently outside and waiting to be restarted, but I still have many posts to get us through the winter. My modus operandi has been to post an update as I develop new ones. That allows me to make sure our -40 winters up here still have something that makes life worth living.
      While I do plan on having more time to work on the car before the real cold sets in, that may not happen. Ultimately, we will start our winter postings when the snow starts to fall and looks like it is here to stay for a while.

      I like the way you caption your photos with text boxes on the pics.
      Cars are meant to be driven.

      Thank you. I am no computer genius but I think it makes it easier to follow.

      [QUOTE=egoman;1362393]I almost pooped myself when Facebook marketplace showed me this. Let’s see it’s a 351 roller Windsor with an OD auto trans. It’s 2 wheel drive and is fully optioned. This people is a freakin unicorn!
      I will use this powertrain and wiring harness to initially get the car running and moving and after selling all the parts off it that I don’t need I should break even.
      The previous owner babied this truck to no end. After we signed the papers I told him what its fate was going to be. He nearly cried, but I showed him what I was working on and he wasn’t as sad. BUT he was still sad!

      That's a 4905 GMC highway coach conversion that I completed in 1999. I used it to chase pipeline and industrial pipefitting work for 10-12 years. I am sure that it didn't make sense financially, but when the door closed behind me it was home and that was worth every penny. It also fulfilled a lifelong dream to have one. My uncle gave me a box of Popular Mechanics when I was a kid and one had an article on circus people living in buses. From 7 years old I knew that some day, some day!

      OK its been about 2 months since my last post but I have a good reason. Its just when I say it out loud it doesn't sound as good?
      I have been rolling quite hard on building a new shop to work out of and even with a lot of stuff for you to see in the bank I always had an excuse.
      Well the local inspector has shut me down until I get better at acquiring proper permits. BUT, I did actually do some work on the car today and I like to trade a post now for one that you will see in the future.
      This is just words but I am posting pics and text right away!
      I hope there are still some out there that want to see them.

      Needed the wires gone so I could continue with more work on the car. I didn’t lose any blood and I don’t have any deep lacerations so we can call that a good day then!

      We are doing the last of the body positioning details so we can remove the body from the frame. This will make running all the lines and new wiring harnesses much easier. It isn’t just a matter of removing the body because we could do that at any time. The important part is to make sure it can go back in the same position.

      Decided that today was the day that the car would get out for a ride. That ride would just be on a trailer but a ride nonetheless. Backing the trailer in and running the ramps under the car but trying to catch the edge of the jig was an adventure.

      We spent all that time building a car and now we are taking the body off. The trolley and the engine hoist are able to handle most of the chores required. The floor jack with the rigid pipe stands played a supporting role. (Get it, supporting role) I kill me, LOL.

      It was December 2nd and my friend Rod decided that we were going for a snowmobile ride. It was -26C and their was a 30km wind. That's only if you were standing still. We were travelling about 50-70 MPH most of the time.
      Anyways this is where my trip that day ended. The Birchwood had a tremendous Burger and fries though!

      That's what frostbite looks like. My friends were sure that I could continue. One of them wrote his sled off by the end of the day and has been off work since with a sore back. Once again I made a phone call to my friend David Winning to gather up my truck and come get me. This is what we do for fun in the great white north! Strangely enough there was no feeling of getting cold or any pain since it happened.

      Freedom was fleeting but we are all back up on the chassis jig and the body jig.

      Closing out some areas, fitting headers, adding brackets, changing a mistake or two. You know regular car building stuff.
