Technical What are you working on?

Looks like a candidate for the "Race Of Lemmons" I'd say!

 

Don't forget the blue jean shorts with the new balance shoes

 

Been cleaning up this nonsense. Why do people use bathroom sealant and then paint over dirt? (Not just specks, I'm talking a good ¼" deep dirt).

Slowly getting somewhere. The other side is worse.

 

Little prewash before it goes on the operating table.

 

First coat of satin green apple paint

 

Wife watched the tables and let me do a quick lap at the swap meet last weekend. I found these caps and was going to switch the red to black and use on another project, but I think they have found a home on the roadster build.

 

Still working on that O/T 70 AAR cuda. LOL

 

I thought about cutting fins out of something and having them welded in but if the weld wasn't beautiful like you see every once in awhile on the interweb then it'd probably look like crap too ha.
I'm really thinking hard about removing the fins and putting yellow plexiglass back in.

 

If you change your mind I have a cal custom BBC valve cover I could donate

 

I have been wandering around in this mess working on the wagon today. Not quite as impressive as your stash Swade,but I keep collecting.

 

I dig it !

I actually dedicated a shelf to intakes but can't bring myself to double stack them, maybe I just have to many intakes with carbs

 

I just got the DNA results back.... I love you dad!

 

Currently? 40 chevy coupe and a 78 HD.

 

I wear blue Jean shorts with NB tennis shoes, does that mean I’m destined to own a Corvette?

 

Ha ha ha ha

My kids are in for a surprise !

 

You may already own one

 

I spent the afternoon figuring out breather location,
Low



High




If low you got to think about the 1/4-20 mounting bolt hole and getting a socket on it



If I use socket head cap screw I can get the breather up higher on the flat



But I still would need to block a 1/4 of the breather hole that goes out over the fins

If I move it up and mill the fins then I can just barely sneak it in under the pcv grommet knockout



But can I get an oil fill cap to fit next to the breather ?, just barely



I could put a smaller diameter domed breather to pickup some room, nope that looks like shit lol



So after all of that I have a solid plan of where I want them, but really didn't get much done lol

 

This again, FINALLY

 

I measured my chrome CalCustoms and the scoop but that's a no go, I need roughly 14x3 section and that gets it up into the pcv grommet knockout.
Thank you though for the offer.

 

Tman, that’s a great looking GMC! The background in the picture reminds me of US 212 between Nisland and Belle Fourche. What are your plans for that fine GMC?

 

Since that pic it got rolled into the shop, the kid grew to 6 feet tall and I collected a 9", 283/T350 (both rebuilt) and an Industrial Chassis, now Phoenix Street Rods front end from @ELpolacko . Keeping the flatbed. 10" 56 chevy steelies in the rear, 5" in front. Undecided on a chop. New wife need a horse trailer hauler and it will be a daily for me.

 

Hoping sometime this summer. Have a few other OT projects to finish.

 

I like the breather placement like on the cal customs valve covers you posted.

 

Finished my drill press hole saw "mill" job

 

Well done.

 

Orange metalflake flames with lime pinstripes. The SS breather is powder coated and the lettering is done in the lime paint.

 

Back at its owners home

 

Now go work on the Camino....you have a race coming up
