My 1938 International hot rod project last time all together before paint and final assembly. I'm a 1 finger keyboarder so any questions be patient.

Moved this from another post.
 
I had my right hip replaced last Thursday and thought this may be a good time to catch up on my thread. I'm doing great with the aftermarket hip but, it's going to be a bit before I can get back to my shop.
My grandpa bought this truck new, It's the first vehicle I remember riding in as a child. It was pretty much used up and parked behind the barn in about 1968.

That’s MY kind of story! I enjoyed life much more in the previous century, or maybe it was more enjoyable because of the quality of relationships.
Stick with the protocol on that hip.
I helped my sweetheart through replacement and revision. I can’t say how it feels, but I think I understand how taxing it is.
Looking forward to your progress with healing and more fabrication!

heal well sir. i am terrified of being cut on. almost every thing is worn and clicky. i know guys that had a shoulder done and they say its worse, i genuinely hope you have a better outcome. old age is no fun, however the alternative is less appealing.

I made the fuel injection myself to appear as if it were mechanical. You can buy the stuff for mega bucks or make it yourself on a 1934 Becker vertical end mill for a $125 dollar chunk of Ebay aluminum. There are 8 80 lb fuel injectors in the spacer under the bug catcher fed buy the stainless Enderle lines and block. What appears to be a barrel valve is the TPS. High pressure fuel actually goes through it as i use it as a 90 fitting. I'm using a belt drive pump and all the wiring runs through braided or stainless lines. It's all second hand or home made.

Good news all the way around
Don’t overdo it though!
But we didn’t get this far by doing stupid stuff.
Well ……maybe looked stupid, but it was just close to the edge.

I don't think it can be understated overstated just how badass this is!
Edit: I was a little mixed up when I first wrote this, thank goodness everyone figured out what I meant...

This picture always makes me grin, it's very old but you can see the radiator and water pump. The radiator is a used Nascar piece and the water pump was second hand unused from Ebay also. I started this to be a drag and drive kinda project thus the trailer hitch/ parachute anchor point. I have plans for a "matching" trailer to carry my slicks, wheelie bars, parachute, tools, spares, popup and cooler ect.
