Drclock's Project 33

Good to see there'll be another Merklin Special.

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only guy who, after drawing a firm line in the sand, realizes that the line shouldn't be where it is, it should be WAAAAAY down there.

you go Alan!

Jim:

That's pretty funny, and true. I'm glad we draw those lines in sand cause they can be obliterated pretty easily.

Connie say's, this is her rebuild and I, am helping :~)

Alan's taking a walk on the Wide Side!  I'll have to teach you our secret hand shake.

Once more into the brink........    I knew you would keep your hand in as long as possible....

Good luck with the new project....  

At least it's not another "Gazelle".......

Gazelle's always but mucho cashola in my pockets ~

Connie's project and you are helping, eh? You know you'll be in it up to your neck!!

So is this really Dr Clock Project 33?

Or is it Connie Project 1?

Mmmm beer...

Good luck and keep us posted.  Should be really nice once it's done.

Would love to see BLOG of its resurrection - before, along the way, and after pictures --- to inspire us slower builders.

Yeah! Plus one to that.

The one thing about Mango's site that bummed me out is that there wasn't a blog or dialog to go along with the photos. I've viewed every single photo on his site, twice. Some of them make no sense without some sort of commentary.

I can get a couple of guys to help with just about anything at the mention of beer, and I find it amazing how quickly I drop whatever if that word is used.... Yeah, the wife really likes hearing, "(whoever) needs a hand for a couple of minutes; be right back!" With beer, I'm never "right back".

Alan- I probably don't need to tell you this, but you know to make sure the framehead for the beam is straight before putting it back together?

......."frame head straight before putting back together" .....

I know my limitations~  If I did this pull myself I would have to yank the body off the chassis so ,this one will go to a local frame guy and money well spent.

I'll do blogs here under another thread once I get rolling on it. 

I only mentioned it because it's easy to miss; you've obviously got it covered. I'd love to watch it go back together. Al

Got the car raised up to inspect, I found some add'l areas that have light damage and will need to be fixed but it's not all that bad. The damage to the pan-chassis, top saddle of the frame head, replace the beam and body is fixable and it will get done ....right. I talked to Kirk at VS today re: replacement wide body nose section. 

..........I am motivated~

I need to finish painting and color sanding my Harley this week then I'll begin on the VS project under a new Blog. 

Alan:

I still can't figure out how your blood circulates through your body, with all that grease in it...

Grease? Not I ... "Glass is Class"

alan-just a note -when my mechanic was checking the rr brake chatter problem he said he found a kinked rr  brake line-don't know if he got to fix it or not-glad to hear the damage is not that bad--im just glad it was totaled by insurance-didn't want to deal with a repair on a new car--I have had my fill-37 years of dealing with wrecks, just want to tinker and drive now--new build well on its way-going into paint this week-John wants it ready before Carlisle--

Will check that out tnx.
