Technical What are you working on?

SM420's have the small bearing retainer like a passenger car. The big bearing retainer came on the SM465's that came out in 1967.

 

Trying to make my parts car go away

 

Those wheels will go fast.

 

Finished up the windshield install and the fire suppression system.

 

Fine Fine work , it’s all about details for me .

 

They are 14 x 10s unfortunately, and it was a 59 Fords,not much market for either

 

Windlace in the 57 wagon. Will get some finessing and clips soon.

 

Too cold to work in the garage, but the dang daily driver's fuel pump went out over Christmas, parked outside in the trees along the driveway, so I dropped the tank and commenced to replace the pump. Unfortunately the fuel line coupling won't come apart, regardless of how I use the de-coupler tool. I'll have to cut the two lines, remove the tank, pull and replace the pump, then put it all back under the vehicle using fuel line hose and clamps. But that's going to have to wait a few weeks until the weather warms. Tonight it's supposed to get down to -5 degrees and we've got another week or so of really cold weather. Meanwhile, my '29 AA still needs another coat of paint on the body and fenders, then a round of wet or dry 1000 followed by light buffing to get the finish I want. That will then allow me to attach the body to the frame, including the fenders and splash aprons. Once that's done, I can wire it, start up and run in the engine and transmission. That's the goal for this spring. GET IT RUNNING!

 

Long block accomplished

 

Tank, pick up an sending unit

 

Firewall getting ready to weld up heater , wiring , etc holes...templates all made up..8 total..not sure if notching the distributor location , but most likely for a little more clearance..

 

Ordered parts from speedway and spread some salt on the glacier driveway.

 

I will be glad when the ice melts.

 

All part of living in the USA in certain parts of it.

Came down with the crud Sunday finally felt ok enough to make the brake lines for the Tempest cradle. Now I can bolt it back in the car and haul it to the shop to start setting up the ladder bar rear suspension.

Very nice! Now, get it installed! We only have 5 months until Bowling Green!!

 

Hey Buddy! I’m glad you’re feeling better!!!

 

Extra ground on this 235 dizzy?


made a simple stand that bolted to the bell. Went to do similar on the front and found out there is no front provision for an engine mount. Looks like someone put the wrong plate on it.
No side mounts on the block.

 

All back together.

 

Very nice.

It was a 1965 365hp engine

Lumpy's "brake" dancing? Yeah, that's it.
