Now that's down right STINGY ( LOL ) ! That mug is very impressive . MERRY CHRISTMAS choppedtop. Now you need some hot cocoa & marshmallows.

Ahh mannn, I was thinking hot buttered rum.

 

[DonnyRay]

Sorry. I won't recommend an alcoholic drink. I stopped drinking alcohol in the early 90's. I'm a t totaler.

 

[Neshkoro]

Yeah, and I stopped doing drugs in the 60’s. Now I do them at any temperature!

 

[DonnyRay]

LOL !! Here's some more photos of my radiator shell :

I saw this on FB and thought of you & your build. Jeff Martin

That's a nice gas cap cover.

LOOK ! It's TABLE !: My brother Larry & I made this from new lumber & scrap lumber.

More photos of my radiator shell's progress : This was built bondoed , sanded & primered.

Good work, DR. Who gets the table: You or your brother?

 

[DonnyRay]

Probably my brother's wife. She confiscates whatever she wants. My brother plans to use it for his table saw , miter saw, etc. His wife will take it over anyway.

Thanks for the likes rbsWELDER , James Lewis & Spanky. I have some more photos of my hoods progress: I'm adding more shape to the snake hood scoop.

I'm going to use BONDIC glue to hold everything in place then i'll finish with fiberglass.

 

[choppedtop]

Have you used BONDIC before? If so, how do you like it? Does it live up its claims?

 

[DonnyRay]

I've used it in the past , that's why it's my go to now. I originally had 3 of them , i gave one to my sister. Now i have 2. BONDIC is a plastic glue that was discovered by a dentist. My dentist used it on my tooth implant ( that's why i bought & tried some of it ). The UV light sets it up in 5 seconds. My hood scoop is made from a black plastic. I also have a can of adhesion promotor. After spraying the adhesion promoter on the area to be glassed , you wait 10 minutes before you start glassing. I repaired a neighbor's front bumper cover a few years ago ( before there were bumper repair kits available ). He had the car for a few years after my repair. The repair never delaminated ( separated ). I merely sanded the backside of his bumper cover with 80 grit sandpaper. I sprayed the sanded area with adhesion promoter ( waited 10 minutes ) . I glassed in the area with 3 layers of 1 1/2 oz. fiberglass mat. VOILA ! It was my first bumper cover repair.

Thanks for the report. I will give it a try.

 

[DonnyRay]

Sounds good choppedtop.

Steering quickener ( 2 to 1 ratio ) : Will this gadget cause my 15 to 1 ( steering ratio ) steering box become a 30 to one ( steering ratio ) ?? Anyone familiar with steering quickeners ??

 

[DonnyRay]

UPDATE : I've done some research & i think i will pass on this steering quickener. It's used on racing cars & NOT recommended for street use. It's also used on rack & pinion steering equipped cars. My car has cross steering. You guys are welcomed to chime in regarding your thoughts. Would love to hear the pros & cons from you guys.

Wise move. On a T-bucket I'm afraid it would make your steering rather 'twitchy' and too sensitive.
