Projects '24 T Roadster build

Am I just looking at it wrong, or is your water neck missing the neck?

 

I don't see hoses on there at all.... yeah what's up with the water outlets?

 

Looks like the beginnings of a custom waterneck. It looks to be in mockup since no bolts in the neck or intake. A stock neck probably interferes with everything.

 

**** man this car is so neat!

 

What a jewel!

 

Yup, there is nothin like "done right"!

 

Man this thing is looking killer.

 

Your going to finish things this weekend that I've been working on since August on mine! Go man go!

 

Your T just get better and better all the time !! Great Work !!

 

Nice, Really Nice. You could always sell me the Pullmax, then you maybe could afford to finish that little gem properly.....(!!!).....

 

It's great having your car at work. Ive brought my T into the workshop and I've got more done on it in 3 weeks than I have in 6 months!

 

Wow! Looking great!

Following this all the time. Looking great. I can't wait to see it with the body painted and one the ch***is for that last time. Keep pounding away!

 

I love the color combo. Keep up the fine work.

 

This Hot Rod just keeps getting better! I hope you do a little video so that we can share the start up with you.

Cool.

Refreshing, cl***y, and some smart detail that makes it a stunning little car, certainly a credit to you and your persistence.
Cheers,

Fabulous work!

 

Perfect.

 

Strange. I just checked my 303 that's out in the garage. The block only has one bolt hole, and the distributor is a simple wishbone shaped hold down. I know both my 324's have the same style hold down, and I believe my other 303 is the same (though I don't have it here to check). Regardless, it looks like you've sorted out a solution that will work just fine.

 

We can figure all of that out after LSR. Just "getter' done." I put in a '50 303 in my first car, a '38 coupe, in '61. It had an Offenhauser 3X2 and I do not remember what held the distributor in place. I do though have vivid memories of being towed for the first startup and being engulfed in balls of flames as a result of progressive aggressive carb priming before we figured out there was supposed to be a fuel pump lobe bolted to the front of the cam. Hell, we were Flathead guys and had never seen a box full of Olds parts.

 

This little car is so cool it hurts.......

 

Remember that the firing order is 1-8-7-3-6-5-4-2 ! These engines came with the 4-7 swap right from the factory!

 

I've only been to LSR once. I wish it was this year.

 

I'm thinkin double deep gloss black

 

Looks great!
The '49 distributor hold down was a two piece affair, I can post a picture later for the curious, but what you have there will work fine.
Love this build!

 

Old skool ***ian red or Tahitian red how ever you want too call it
