    Architecture!

    Ahh, the days of unfit parenting!

    OMG - that looks like it could work! (the rare transition model after the P15's hidden running boards)
  4. RNR1957NYer
    I just need one!

    Earlier you noted the wheelbases are 1.2" off - you splitting the difference or are you favoring one end over the other?

    Consider tightening up the gaps a little 😂 Exciting times!

    ...and be careful where you park.

    That's getting to be 'Where's Waldo?" territory!

    Too bad those beaks were too high to plow. Looks like Diehl was ahead of the "Merger of Equals" by 25 years or so.

    Looks like some young hoods stole the hubcaps.....likely those hot rodders!

    Looks like somebody needed to tell Dave it's not OK to rub fenders in drag racing.

    I'm starting to think the Tucker is the most photographed fifty car production run vehicle.....

    Understandable if they have beer on the 'Recreational Supplies' shelfs.

    That a Meteor on the hook?

    To quote the famous German engineer, Sgt. Schultz: "I seeee nothink!"

    I know that's a positive phrase, but in my line of work using "frame" and "falling" in the same sentence gives one pause😆

    Wide body business coupe, anyone?

    That proper Plymouth in the background must have been scandalized by the PDA displayed here!

    SSorry for the delay, John; left my stamp pad at the office - Rick

    Whoa - I was so dazzled by your drawing I missed this little detail - absolutely scab 2x8's (minimum) onto those 2x6's; the diagonal layout looks good to me. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming....

    Kudos on the clear drawing (and I'm used to sitting on the other side of the table looking at drawings upside down)! Those posts you show will go to the floor, correct? (ie the are not hangers from the rafters). If to the floor, you shouldn't have any problems making it work. Personally I'd scab new 2 x8's on each side of the existing joists, extending over each post. I'd also like to see you tie the posts together to create bridging to help keep the joists from bowing out under load from the hoist beam (it's not a cocktail napkin sketch, but see the post-it diagram)

    I'm an architect and you're starting to scare me (especially with the diagonal and cantilever talk). Can you sketch out what you have in mind (take a picture of a hand sketch)? I understand those were floor joists, but keep in mind chickens don't weigh much - especially when their wings are a-flappin'.

    Don't know if your question was rhetorical, but I took it as a challenge (surprising what you can look up on line!). Curb weight 3050 lbs less powertrain (600 engine, 150 tranny, say 250 for the rear end) gets you down to a ton for the chassis and body. Visualizing the body and frame, my guess is there's more steel in the body, but with the front clip off, but doors and deck lid on the shell, my prediction is just under 1000 lbs....but your mileage may vary! Have fun!

    Who wore it better? (thanks, Reg!)
