Hot Rods Save of the day!!(single seater)

Thanks man, I dont know about the workmanship (photos hide a lot of shit).
Its has been fun, not many rules to follow.

 

That pipe is going to take a lot of sanding before chrome. You are a glutton for punishment.

 

Started working on a front motor mount , I had a chunk of angle iron laying in the metal pile so I did some cutting and grinding. This is what I came up with.

 

Looks exactly like the stock one! (-;
Very inspirational project, been following since the git go and still read every post.

 

Are you going to use the floating power pieces???

 

No I cant use that because I have to run the 57-9 car water pump (to lower the fan)and it takes up the same space as the motor mount. I have rubber biscuits that will be used. They are the same ones that I am using on the bell housing mount.

 

Did your water pump pieces arrive and solve the problem?

 

Yes,I got a pump, lowered housing, generator mount front motor plate, timing cover and water pump pulley. Still need to get crank pulley but have found one from a guy in Canada. Where does a guy get gaskets and crank timing cover seal? Bernbaums?

 

Last time I looked, Rock Auto had most everything for the flathead Mopars.

 

Damn Dude thanks for the info, just looked at rock auto and they have the gaskets I need.

 

Nothing cookie cutter about this build. Your attention to detail is evident everywhere , this is a great build to follow!

 

Anyone else besides me get "Bernbaums"?

 

Bernbaum is the guy for Lhead 6 mopar stuff. Sort of like Schniders is for Model T-A

 

Nice work Stogy, looks good.

 

Stogy, you did it again, nice

 

Use the lense that says STOP, just a thought.

 

I have those stop lens on
on my T. Will be doing something different on this one.

 

Have the motor sitting in the frame without the aid of wood blocks under the oil pan.

 

What is that extra bit on the fuel pump??.seen them with aux vacuum pump for wipers but that's about 3x bigger. Brake booster???

 

I have no idea but it must not work because it was unhooked and had an electric pump plumbed in when it was still in the cube van.

 

If you decide to go back to mechanical, avoid Airtex if you can. Their fulcrum pins like to walk out. You are better off rebuilding that one then getting theirs. Now and Then has kits for most Mopar stuff.

 

Thanks for the info. I will be running a mechanical, probably not this ugly thing though.

 

Have the pinion angle set tonight and my nerf/wishbones tacked together.

 

Messed around with the exhaust pipe a bit more.

 

I love this thing!

 

Thanks, Its been a fun little project.

 

That is calling out for a balogna cut at exit I think!

 

I'll have to think about that one. I'm wondering how the ole girl is going to sound thru a 3" straight pipe.

 

I think you should name it "Stink Bug"

 

What are you doing for the intake side?
