Sep-17-14, 10:34 AM (EDT) Finally got the Streamliner back from the glass shop. They installed new windshield and all glass on the wagon clip. I have it backed up on the lift and prepairing to reinstall the front maco hood. I am changing the set up and will be using my own hinges and the front piece from my Bohannon maco... not the glass but the front support. pics soon.

Sep-24-14, 12:18 PM (EDT) today I actually switched the front end radiator supports from the Bohannon Maco that I have to the streamliner. I did this in order to make another attempt to mount the front end so I get the best clearance, lift, and stability when the nose is up in the air. I will attempt to use my "Randy Hinge" that I made years ago. I will post some pics as I go along, but first I have to go to a welding shop to have the base of the hinges torched off the old bracketry. Then I have to modify my maco hood to accept the hinge system. I have to remove this mickey mouse set up. Note: there is nothing wrong with using "reversed" car hood hinges, but they tend to be quite flimsy, thats why I developed this hinge. Now with that said, I may decide to take these hinges apart and make another set of plans to share. When I did this years ago, it met with some negative comments. Hey, just trying to help folks out will get you shot in the foot sometimes. I also will try to do better about getting the site more active. Been selfish and neglecting it too. More to follow.

Oct-16-14, 09:14 AM (EDT) I may have solved my 4 wheel drive look on the streamliner. I have already lowered the tire wheelwell gap by 3 inches. It was really simple and I don't know why we didn't think of it before. Hint... it will require some painting, but what a difference. Almost as boring as all the hinge stuff I posted. No pics yet, waiting for the finished product. More later. "Randy"   Alert | IP Printer-friendly page | Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote   Firefingers     Member since Jan-24-09 509 posts 4.

Never liked that big gap between the fender and tire. http://www.cybergate-corp.ch/mako_clip/   Alert | IP Printer-friendly page | Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote   maco 69     Member since Sep-28-12 393 posts 6.

"RE: Streamliner update." Jan-11-15, 01:09 PM (EDT) Now that the Christmas light stuff is put away, I will be back on the Corvette once my hand heals enough to hold tools. I still need an Air Compressor, but that will come. I have removed the grille and have about 75% of it polished. Looks good tracings have been made. I am trying to get some stuff done. My goal is for Carisle this year. "Randy"   Alert | IP Printer-friendly page | Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote   2Sharks     Member since Jul-9-02 4151 posts 8. "RE: Streamliner update."

Nov-11-16, 06:41 PM (EDT) Well, I am finally back on the wagon. kinda... started doing research on a new induction system. Also working on a super trick shifter set up. As I am selling excess parts, I am taking the money and buying stuff for the wagon. I really would like to have it ready for Carlisle. Right now, I am swamped doing my Christmas Display. whoo hoo!
