|Topic Review (Newest First)
|When you remove the interior parts take them out the best you can to save them for templates for the new. Especially the headliner. will save you a lot of grief later. I'm working on an original 36 Ford 3 window now. Was a driver original but now a retro rod. Ray
35, just received a small catalogue from Bob Drake today and he has just made a fibber out of me. He is now offering both right and left tail light brackets for the 35!!
Hey 35Ford,
I'm doing my first project too and I basically followed the same plan pasadena set out for you, that's good advice.
The thing that has saved me the most is a digital camera and a crappy old laptop. I bring them both to the garage.
Everytime you're about to take a part out of the car, take a few pictures of it first and then after its out take 4 or 5 pictures from every angle. If your anything like me you will think to yourself, Oh I'll just remember that this peice goes here... Maybe if you're back at it the next day but a week later details get foggy.
I also take a bunch of pictures of the peices after I sand and paint them, its cool to show people before and after shots.
Also buy a couple boxes of zip lock bags, and bag and label all the screws and bulbs and misc bits. That might seem obvious but it really will save you at some point.
35, sorry for the delay, but had to make a quick trip North to your neck of the woods for a funeral. Mac's has 16 different catalogues and you have to specify which ones you desire. You want the Ford Early V-*, 1932-1948 and the Ford Street Rod 1909-1948. The 800 number is 777-0948 and can also go online at macsautoparts.com. I am in Western N.C. about 10 hrs from Dearborn!!!. Sounds like you want a restro rod. A car that is very much origional in appearance, but with the more modern drive train, suspension and even air conditioning for comfortable cruising. If you have most of the car and you do all the work, $20,000 should do fine!!. Finding a second (Pass side tail light bracket is near impossible. You may want to forget about origional ones and go with 37 or 40 lights that are reproduced and will look good on the 35. Got you covered on the headlight buckets Send me a PM with your address and I'll put them in the mail.Also, send your email and I will give you a bunch of ideals you can play around with. It sounds like you do not have a frame so buying a ready made one with all the goodies may just be the best way in the long run asnd certainaly save you a bundle of time as well as help with the space problem!!
Couple more things....
It is a Tudor I believe, 2 doors, 6 windows and the back is flat, no hump, no trunk... Its in pieces, no engine, no light assemblies, and missing one of the origional wheels, ( I have 3 and the spare) So I am not considering a factory restore. It was my fathers first car and he always dreamed of making it a street rod.
Also I do not intend on "chopping" it at all. I would like tub the rear end, but do not know how much more effort that is ( and would I loose the back seats??
Again, Great Info!! THANKS.
Trees What is the URL for Mac's - Or 800 number etc. so I can Order the catalog. Also where are you located??
Dean, What is the Website for Motorbooks intl...I looked that up and could not find one.
F-1 Rodder, Shelby Twp MI...Come find it!!
FYI to all, my intention is to Street Rod this car, now my definition may be different...what I want to do is keep the body the same, no changes but put a new chassis underneath with a powerful small block Ford. On the interior, nothing outrageous, but comfortable to take the family ( 2 young sons) cruising.
I am planning to spend around $20,000 when all is said and done ( I know it will probably be a lot more! )
Keep the tips coming!!
|The only thing I can offer as far as advice on this subject is this. How far is the car from being factory original? It kinda sounds like you have restoration in mind and it would be a shame to make a street rod out of something that is all original and complete. I would try to get a knowledgeable persons oppinion regarding which way to go if you are in doubt. Maybe post some pics of the car and see what these guys think. I mean a hotrod is way cool, but they don't make these cars anymore either. $0.02
35Ford: you have a very desireable problem. My recommendation is that you send me your address and I will very quickly come to your home and drag the offending vehicle away. I can see how this vehicle would offend your neighborhood, I have had this problem myself.
Ok, so now. A digital camera is a really valuable tool in this process. Take lots of pictures of even small details, they will become very important to you later. I always make a catalog system of parts. I bag them in zip lock sandwich bags or bigger and put a reference label on them. As I dissasemble, I create a database of reference numbers that relate to the pictures and the bags. Computer works for this, it used to be a file box of recipe cards.
You should read a lot about the history of the car, how they have been rodded or fill your mind with dreams of just making it a restoration project. Finding out what pleases you takes some time.
Rule of thumb one is Never Throw Anything Away until the project is 100% show quality. As soon as you ditch a part, then is the time when you will pay $300 to get it back.
Also go to car shows and see how other guys have treated certain aspects of the car. You will learn a lot about the process.
Consider the costs involved. The high costs are not where you think they are. Chrome and paint are the most expensive part of the process. The mechanicals are relatively inexpensive. I would learn to do as much as I can, mechanical, body, upholstery and paint. Most people are reasonably good at wrenching and get killed on the paint, body and upholstery, though in your case, there are a lot of interior kits available.
It took me 9 years to complete an old Porsche because I was learning the disciplines. The second one was 2 years.
Also consider sending me your address!!
|Chris, I am very familiar with the 3536 and 37 Fords. They have a lot of interchangable parts which will help you along the way. Also, there are some very good reproduction parts vendors and you need to get their catalogues. Mac's has an extensive catalogue and is good to deal with, Bob Drake and Dennis Carpwenter have quality stuff but Bob Drake's catalogue is something to be desired. He has been promising one for about 7 years! He does have on-line shopping at bobdrake.com. Dennis Carpenter has a very good catalogue. Both he and Bob Drake make a lot of their parts in house and they are top quality. Only my opinion, but they try not to duplicate each other and they both sell the others parts. Mac's offer them as well. Pasadena gave you some good pointers. You are behind the eight ball since the car is in pieces. You have not said what your intentions are: restoration or street rod? In either case, I would start at the ground up. Do the frame and running gear which includes the motor, tranny, rear end shocks, brakes, springs, steering, gas tank etc etc. Then I would get the body ready to put back on the frame, do the fenders and running boards and and then do the interior and wiring. I would save the doors for last. I still have some old parts laying around and if I have any thing that you might need, they are yours for the shipping cost.
Glad to be of assistance. You may notice from some of my posts I always try to keep other guys/gals from stepping into the errors I have made and paid for.
Of course, so much of this stuff is subjective, the usual color, upholstery, drivetrain, wheels, tires, etc., but some things like procedures and learning about your car, or cars in general, are universal truths.
By the way, I don't remember you saying what body style 35 you have. Obviously a sedan (back seat out), but is it a Touring Sedan(the one with the little deck lid atop a bumpout trunk, or a "Flatback", Tudor or Fordor?
Any questions just Email me.
Pasadena, you are awesome! I will be on the site tonight!!
Thanks for the starting points...FYI the rear seats are already out. Have been for the 33 years I have been around. the Rest of it I will strip out.
I will keep ya posted.
Here's how I see it if you can devote the extra bay to the car during good weather:
1. NOW...Take detailed photos of every aspect of the body, inside and out, as it is currently assembled (presumably from the factory). Mark and file these in a nice album for reference.
2. NOW...After the photo session get the shop vac and go over the interior parts of the car thoroughly, don't forget the trunk.
3. NOW...Remove the headliner the easy way. Use a boxcutter or sharp scissors and carefully cut around the installed parts (visors, mirror, dome light & switch, etc.). Then sweep and vacuum up all the nastiness.
4. NOW...If your seats are as nasty as the headliner, strip them the same way. Bag all the trash, vacuum again and again.
4. NOTICE... I did not ask you to remove anything from the car except the trash, mouse nests, droppings, etc. That's because if you do you'll never remember how to reassemble it all even though you have the book of photos you carefully made to eliminate that possibility.
5. The car is now covered with a tarp or old sheet. You have your fine album of photos titled "MY HOTROD PROJECT".
6. NOW, go to the website of Motorbooks International and look through their titles concerning your 1935 Ford. You might want to buy "The V8 Affair", "The Early Ford V8 As Henry Built It", "The Restorer's Guide to the 35-36 Fords", the reprint of the Owner's Manual, the reprint of the accessories brochure, the reprint of the Ford Factory Service Bulletins, and several other books perhaps including some about building hotrods from the Tex Smith Collection. This will cost you close to $300 I would guess at today's prices. When the UPS man comes, sit back and enjoy your reading, get to know your car, sit in the garage and read to her, prevent yourself from diving in without a life preserver!
7. NOW...decide which end of your car is up to be worked first.
You'll need a place to store the body while you finish the chassis. Is there room in your wagon, mower bay?? Build a nice heavy-duty body dolly and store the other sheet metal inside it while you build your chassis. It'll probably fit crossways at the back of bay 2 with a tarp over it.
I have a 3 bay garage, 1 bay dedicated to the 35 and a second bay that is claimed by mowers wagons and such. I live in a sub that I cannot keep a "non running vehicle" outside. In summer months ( April - Oct) I can use a second bay towards this project.
I plan on a lot of hiccups, delays and short on cash issues. I am patient and expect this to take a few years, if I get a lot of cash in the next year ( I am in sales so commissons fluctuate) I will do the car sooner.
So it sounds like, in the spring, roll it out of the garage, gut the interior, store the seat springs, take inventory of what I have and start locating what I need. Is that correct?
Perhaps the most important questions have yet to asked. That would be "What size of garage do you have in which to play with your car?" I'm counting only flat empty floorspace not shared with bikes, mowers, wagons, and so on. ANNNDDDD.. "What time period in months or years can you devote this space solely to be the lovenest for your mechanical darling?" Further more... "What is your tolerance level for accepting hiccups, delays, no money, wrong parts, and so on?"
These answers can often dictate how to approach the first attempt at car building.
|Like others have said, take all the interior out and store the seat frames and garnish moldings and then you can concentrate on getting all the mechanical things right. that will be a big job by its self. The lessons that I have learned are to concentrate on one area at a time. Don't go from one thing to another and then back again. Once you have the suspension and frame done then you can go to engine trans and diff. (etc)......Good luck on your project...GlennK

ECO-STRUCTURE recently caught up with Spencer Culhane, faculty advisor for the 4D Home, a joint entry from Massachusetts College of Art and Design and the University of Massachusetts at Lowell for the U.S. Department of Energy's 2011 Solar Decathlon.
How is your solar paneling unique?
Our team utilized a hybrid solar hot-water collector under six of our PV panels. This allowed us to cool a portion of our array, thus increasing the efficiency of the system while generating hot water.
What other sustainable features have you incorporated into your design?
Our house is designed to meet Passive House standards in a Boston climate. The specific primary heating demand is less than 4.75 kBtu per square foot per year. We accomplished this through a combination of super insulation and maximized solar heat gains. The combined result is a home that can be heated with the energy of a single hair dryer in the winter.
What was the inspiration of your design, and does it display any regional influences?
Our project's design celebrates the vernacular architecture of New England. The symmetrical gable form is reflected in a gable trellis supporting the PV array offset from the entry.
How has the new affordability criteria affected the design of your house?
Our team focused on affordability as a primary goal of the project. Our documented construction budget was $267,000.
What will happen to the house after the Solar Decathlon?
This spring, a family in rural Maine will move into the home.

Your design looks great. I hope that the fan motor will have enough torque to turn the weight. I am hoping to design my own as well but am not quite as skilled at wookworking. Did you create your own design or found in online?
I just wanted to say I really hope you video this I would love to see how it works, we found a Grit magazine that had plans in it for a honey extractor but it isn't as nice as the pieces made in yours. I can't wait to try the homemad furniture polish. I love recipes and hope you don't mind but I will share yours with my local bee club at our next meeting. I will also bring them samples to try. Thanks and keep up the hard work.Regina in Tennessee :-D

New York Giants DE Leonard Marshall Hits Limbaugh For "Irresponsible" Football Talk
Blog ››› ››› JEREMY HOLDEN
Former New York Giants defensive lineman Leonard Marshall chastised Rush Limbaugh for "irresponsible" rhetoric and downplaying efforts to reduce concussions in football. Marshall's comments came on SiriusXM's The Agenda, hosted by Media Matters senior fellow Ari Rabin-Havt.
Limbaugh recently complained about the use of sensors in NFL helmets to monitor head injuries, saying it was evidence of "politics that has permeated football," and concluding:
LIMBAUGH: But I'm telling you it's being chickified. The whole thing, everything in our culture is being chickified. And some things fine, but not everything.
On Wednesday, Rabin-Havt asked Marshall, a two-time Super Bowl champion and 12-year NFL veteran, to respond. Marshall said Limbaugh's comments were "irresponsible" and cited several instances of teenagers being severely injured while playing football:
MARSHALL: It's very irresponsible. How about you become the father of a 17-year-old boy who plays in a football game on a Friday night, and is in need of medical attention. It takes 15 minutes for the medics to get there to attend to this kid who gets injured, and your kid dies on the football field. How about being that parent?
CNN reported on August 18 that a high school football player in suburban Atlanta died after suffering an on-field injury after coaches tried to revive him on the field while awaiting an ambulance Friday night.
Marshall also cited the example of Josh Haddock, a former high-school football star in Georgia who in 2010 suffered an injury during practice that required brain surgery. Haddock reportedly is helping to develop a helmet that could alert people to head injuries.
Marshall challenged Limbaugh to become part of the solution:
MARSHALL: Watch and hope that there is change coming down the pike. Be part of that change. Be part of trying to empower young people with knowledge and information about the risk associated with playing tackle football.

Arsenal Football Club has opened a new state-of-the-art Medical Centre at the Club's London Colney Training Centre.
The two storey medical building houses a large open-plan rehabilitation gym and new office space, which will accommodate the Arsenal Medical Team, including its doctors, physiotherapists, conditioners and analysts.
The new multi-million pound structure supplements an already impressive facility in the main building at the Arsenal Training Centre. It will allow those players returning from injury to concentrate on their rehabilitation in a separate, specialised space with one-on-one attention from medical staff. Player monitoring and focused individual work will also play an important role in injury reduction and prevention.
The Medical Centre's design is tailor-made to the needs of the players. Lots of natural light seeks to compensate players unable to train outside and heat sensitive windows maintain an optimum temperature within the gym at all times. The centre includes new apparatus such as an anti-gravity treadmill, which uses adjustable weight-bearing technology to allow players to run without putting undue pressure on healing joints. A range of screening equipment means that players can be monitored on site, and enables the Club's Medical Team to now conduct medicals at the Training Centre, at very short notice if required.
A strip of athletic track – the same as that being laid at the Olympic Stadium in London, and a range of exercise machines, facilitate a whole range of other rehabilitation exercises.
The new Medical Centre follows extensive research from Arsenal's Medical Team, headed by Club Physiotherapist Colin Lewin and Club Doctor Gary O'Driscoll, which has included visits to medical facilities from a number of different sports, including the NFL, NHL and NBA in the United States.
Club Physiotherapist, Colin Lewin said: "Players carrying both long and short-term injuries will benefit greatly from the new centre, which will also perform an important role in injury prevention. Our new Medical Centre will give additional space and resources to our medical operation.
"The new equipment will help as much with preventing new injuries, as with treating current ones and the facility will ensure that we continue to give the best possible support to our players. We're constantly working to stay at the forefront of the sports medicine field and we're very excited about this development."
The full Medical Centre tour is now available on Arsenal Player - please not that this feature was made during last month's international break.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by haribobo, Dec 1, 2012.
I combed the results of internationals + Russian Cup to come up with the most worthy 12...
Voted for Plushenko, Gachinski, and Menshov, although Gachinski has been skating so poorly it could be Voronov instead of him.
Plushenko - of course, can he make it 10 National titles? What a feat! - Menshov, and Gachinski. Gachinski spent most of last season's GP melting down too and still came good at Nationals.
Plushy had an operation in Dortmund ? not sure if he can compete by nationals then
so I'd pick Menshov, Kovtun and Petrov. Gachinski is bombing too much this season
Plushenko of course, Menshov, Voronov.
Gachinski... I don't know how he skates at Nationals. There is a possibility that he can be back in good shape by then. I don't know
Plushenko, Menshov and Gachinski. But Gachinski will go to Worlds afterwards, not Menshov, the Russian Federation will explain it by that Menshov is not that young anymore.
Is Artur Dmitriev Jr still competing? He was supposed to skate at a level B competition this season - Nebelhorn perhaps? - but he never showed up.
Dmitriev withdrew from the Cup of China (supposed to be his GP debut), but he skated in the Russian Cup V competition in Moscow last week and placed 2nd to Alexander Petrov.
Besides Plushenko, I'm really not sure who else so I'm doing my best impression of ... guessing
Oh I do remember now that Dmitriev Jr was to make his GP debut this season. Hadn't been aware of Russian Cup V though. Thanks, Sylvia.

Re-emergence of CAV-1 (Hepatitis)
An Old Infectious Disease Is New Again - Whole Dog Journal Article
Beau's annuals did not include CAV-2 though he had it in his puppy shots. Also had to have kennel cough intranasal at about 6 months for a puppy class. I am going to ask the vet to titer for CAV-1 immunity. Dodds is reconsidering and Schultz is for.
I think several years ago a company made, and supported a three year claim on a distemper vaccine but it was the same vaccine as ever; it just proved it with a study and was able to put it on the label. [oh we cross posted on that; thanks for more info]
The nosodes are basically a homeopathic preparation of the infectious agent; therefore no actual material but its "energy" based on homeopathic constructs. Well, I just don't know. I am an educated person and realize that things we poo-poo'd not so many years ago have a basis in science so my construct of homeopathy is "it cannot hurt if it is "nothing" so be open minded about it. ..... I have seen a few cases where it has appeared to help.
I had already, after much struggle, came to the conclusion that we really do not know how extensive lepto is because the diagnosis is typically one of assumption and just as often as not, immunized dogs come ill. The Pfizer study has no claim of preventing the disease from I can see, just driving it to a sublinical chronic state. None of them have bratislava which is coming in from Europe (I don't have the article from a police magazine discussing this, though)
Please direct me to studies showing it is truly effective......I figure that, perhaps, the best approach is to be keenly aware of the dog's health status and do what is possible to maintain a strong immune systems
Intervet Inc, 29160 Intervet Lane, PO Box 318, Millsboro, DE 19966, USA.
A challenge-of-immunity study was conducted to demonstrate immunity in dogs 3 years after their second vaccination with a new multivalent, modified-live vaccine containing canine adenovirus type 2 (CAV-2), canine parvovirus (CPV), and canine distemper virus (CDV). Twenty-three seronegative pups were vaccinated at 7 and 11 weeks of age. Eighteen seronegative pups, randomized into groups of six dogs, served as challenge controls. Dogs were kept in strict isolation for 3 years following the vaccination and then challenged sequentially with virulent canine adenovirus type 1 (CAV-1), CPV, and CDV. For each viral challenge, a separate group of six control dogs was also challenged. Clinical signs of CAV-1, CPV, and CDV infections were prevented in 100% of vaccinated dogs, demonstrating that the multivalent, modified-live test vaccine provided protection against virulent CAV-1, CPV, and CDV challenge in dogs 7 weeks of age or older for a minimum of 3 years following second vaccination.
By failing to make a statement of the known science, by failing to require longer DOI data from manufacturers, and by failing to remove one-year vaccines from the market, the VMD is facilitating the unethical practice of annual vaccination.
The WSAVA guidelines recommend: We should aim to vaccinate every animal, and to vaccinate each individual less frequently. These international guidelines also recommend that, we should aim to reduce the vaccine load on individual animals in order to minimise the potential for adverse reactions to vaccine products.

|When you say "1 year vs 3 year" - what TYPE of shots are you talking about?
|When I spoke to my vet about the "3 year" vs "1 year", he agreed with me that the only difference is that the company that has the "3 year" has done the testing. There really is no such thing as a 3 year. The shots are all good for at least 5-7 years, most likely life of the dog.
I have not heard of three year shotsfor anything but rabies. I was doing every three years with tyicla vets since I got Cyra in 2003. The immunity is actually known to be 5-7 years for all of them though, and probably lifetime.
The only reason I ask about CAV-2 (adenovirus) is because it immunizes against a dog version of hepatitis (CAV-1) without the risk of eye damage. But he did have that as a puppy. I believe Dr Dodds feels it is uncommon.
We are in a lepto area - well, that is sort of - are we? since it is not a CDCreportable and the info that some lepto shots can cause it and nobody actually tests for it etc..
Being a cadaver dog, he is exposed to the kind of environment that harbors lepto. Do realize the organizations are different for sure. This has been a hard call but I know that one of the servovars, bratislava, that has come in with Czech dogs is not even in the shot.

text: I hadn't taken the time to sit down and watch an entire 48-minute Spurs' post-season game prior to tonight. My head's spinning a little bit now that I have. I love their organizational approach to attacking the "superstar" team; and I believe that it's something we could emulate to some extent. The first step would be to hire a top man from their organization as our head coach, Mike Budenholzer (*edit - oops!). Evaluating what we have on the current roster.. A. Drummond. He's someone the Spurs don't really have. And who I'm sure they would love to have (in T. Splitter's role). He's the down-low guy. The alley-oop guy. The put-back guy. The close shot guy. The offensive rebound guy. The primary defensive low-post guy. The banger. The intimidator. We've got something very wonderful and very fitting in Mr. Drummond. G. Monroe. I guess he's our Tim Duncan. The high-post man. He sets the high screen. He rolls to the basket. He makes great passes from the high-post, outside and inside. He's a more than adequate secondary low-post defender and rebounder. He's just really GOT TO DEVELOP A MID-RANGE SHOT. HAS TO. HAS TO. HAS TO. Has to. I really hope he can this off-season. K. Singler and K. Middleton. These are guys who could potentially have roles in SA's system. 2's and 3's who can stretch the court out with 3-point shooting. Who are high IQ basketballers. Who aren't going to kill you on defense. Really need to work on their D, and continue to improve consistency from outside - - but these are young, useful guys IMO. J. Jerebko. I think Jonas'd have a role in SA's system as a stretch-4 specialist off the bench. Your anti-LeBron type. Might not be that level of defender, but he's big, strong, athletic, hard working. Does the small things. High bball IQ. Can shoot a little. Not a worthless player by any means. B. Knight. If his shot continues to improve, he could be a bench guard in SA's rotation. Nothing more. But there's nothing wrong with being that. J. Calderon. A very, very poor man's Tony Parker. Might be worth keeping around, just to help groom a young player. V. Kravtsov. Not convinced that he couldn't become a solid 4th big man off the bench. K. English. Haven't seen enough of him to know. J. Maxiel. Could do worse as a 3rd big man off the bench, but I'd prefer to replace him with someone that brings more elements to the table. W. Bynum. Like his demeanor, but probably not someone who'd have a role in a SA team. R. Stuckey. C. Villanueva. Absolutely no place for them on a SA spurs' roster. WHAT WE NEED. #1) You need that T. Parker-type PG. Someone who can penetrate and dish. Take it to the rim himself. Hit pull-up and outside jumpers. Take care of the ball. Play decent D. Leader. High bball IQ. I've posted plenty about him on the board before - so I'm not going to get too into it here - but I truly believe that C.J. McCollum could be developed into that kind of player. #2) More 2's and 3's who can shoot from outside and defend their position. High Bball IQ / extra-effort types. If one of these additions was a real shut-down perimeter defender, it'd be outstanding. #3) Probably a third big man who's a better mid-range shooter than Max. Would be good to start thinking about people in case Monroe never develops a mid-range J, in addition to having someone off the bench with one. C: A. Drummond, ???, S. Kravtsov PF: G. Monroe, J.

Glad to see he got him a deer. Nice!
way to go on the deer.
I have no idea how I missed this post earlier.
That is some really nice Shade-Tree Gunsmithing! This is the kind of work that just gets me all kinds of excited!!!
I really liked the earlier tigger-stripes. The latter paint was nice as well. I won't ask about accuracy because it is obvious that this is Minute of Buck capable....
Really nice job, and very inventive! I am in awe of the finished product.
If you do decide to go with a removable mag setup, go with a centerfeed or single stack mag and build to suit the mag that you choose. The narrow top-end of the mag will drastically reduce the amount of meat you will need to remove (and the amount of inherent strength of the receiver). I have done this kind of mod to a Mauser in the past using M-14 and FN-FAL mags, and the result compromises the weapon IMHO. Using an AI style mag was a vast improvement in both reliability and in the weapon remaining sound and safe in operation.....
Mosin's are nice rifles, but they do depend on that fixed mag for some of their inherent strength.
Just my $0.02.
If you do decide to do that mod, POST A LOT OF PICS!!!!
BTW: This trigger has been recommended to me in the past. I have not tried one yet, but I figured I would pass it on...
And then there is Timney:
Yeah I missed the info about the deer, thanks for the pics. War paint :D
belson my brother in law came to get my kid and asked if we had the scope zeroed. i said yes. he asked, and i quote, "so are you grouping a paper plate at 50?" his jaw dropped when it told him that my kid was about 1/4th that at a 100. conner consistently shoots this rifle with a 2-3" spread off of sandbags.
my grafted stock did come apart 3 days before he went out. we made one last range trip and the spline joint at the receiver/butt failed. overnited an ati monte carlo stock and had him ready to shoot the next day.
coils funny you said war paint. my brother in law is a hardcore fsu seminole and thats exactly what he said.
"my grafted stock did come apart 3 days before he went out. we made one last range trip and the spline joint at the receiver/butt failed. overnited an ati monte carlo stock and had him ready to shoot the next day."
The high stressed areas could be thinned of wood and beefed up with fiberglass... I have done this with WW-II Jap rifle stocks and chicom SKS stocks made of soft jungle junkwood.
VD i used a spline joint and "thought" it was stout enough. i think it was 1/4" wide x 1/2" long but only went a bit over 1/4" deep. it snapped. i will most likely hog it out and use a piece of aluminum bar stock. in hind sight i should had mortised the joint.

'"If special teams don't do the job for you, you can afford to do whatever you want is the way I look at it," Ruff said. "… We had some tough passes. We had some tough decisions. We looked pretty bad on that five-minute major. … The way you negate any of that stuff is to make your power play dangerous. And then you can't afford to take [penalties]."'
