My ProjecTee

I had a 4 car carport ( I had built ) the county made me tear it down. I lost the carport to a 20 foot set back rule. The carport was already gone ( for a few years ) when I decided to build a t bucket. Leroy volunteered his repair shop & tools. He said , " why don't we build it here Donnie ? ". The rest is history...…..
 
I shortened the brake pedal arm by 3/4 " & relocated the bracket for the brake light switch. Will test fit the brake pedal assembly on Thursday 1-2-20. The weather is supposed to be good that day.
 
I bolted the brake pedal assembly to the firewall ( inside ) & connected the steering column to the steering box. Now I need to bolt on the master cylinder.
 
I am currently shaping 2 forms ( sharp pointy teeth ). The forms can also be used as claws ( talons ).
 
As you guys can see ; i'm working between rain storms.DSCN0782.JPG DSCN0783.JPG DSCN0784.JPG DSCN0787.JPG. Once the pictures were taken , I went home for the day. I don't like to work in the rain or in the fog.

I've been hibernating for a couple of days due to bad weather. Tomorrows weather looks good. I'll try to lay up some more snakes teeth ( fangs ). I have to do 8 of them.
 
I decided to block sand my hood scoop for the 370z. I didn't do anymore glassing on the snake teeth forms. Looks like more good weather ahead, will go back to glassing the snake fangs.
 
Today 1-20-20 I glassed in 2 more snake fangs. I had to use a heat gun because the temperature was too cold. I managed to separate the glass mat from the 2 forms. Now I have 5 more fangs to make. I have 2 forms that are 2 different sizes. The 10" long form will be used to make the top row of fangs. The 8" form will be used to make the bottom row of fangs. I plan to have 4 fangs on the top row & 4 fangs on the bottom row. This is so much fun but , is also extremely slow. Looks like Thursday 1-23-20 will be another good day for making more teeth.
 
I have 2 more that are not pictured. That gives me a grand total of 5 . I have 3 more to go ( to reach my goal of 8 ).
 
You're correct. Snakes only have 2 top teeth. So , I guess , these aren't snake teeth after all. I now have 3 more to go.
 
Constrictors have many teeth that point back to their body so if the prey tries to escape they just dig in deeper.

Yeah, but the local snakes in Texas are the ones I am familiar with - rattles, copperhead & mocassins. The only Constrictors I've seen are boots. ;)
