Can't help myself, should have quit with the last one. My last Cornhusker chassis, Flathead from Frames, Brookville body. To much of a good thing. I'll have a complete PDF listing everything included with prices soon. Krylon32
@krylon32 Thats a Unique water pump , That is ,Like 50 Flat Head , Just wondering , Does it feed / balance both sides evenly Temp wise , I guess it would if running thermostats @ top of heads , probably answer my question. Just asking , what will make this one more diffrent then your other Black Henry roadster for sale , I see more laidback windshield. Different Engine ,Trains
That's a 348/409 W Chevy water pump. I would recognize it anywhere from years of playing with those engines.
Thanks , I am assuming that's been around for a while, just not notice . Those Windshield Stanchion, are they Designed So frame will not movie pass that angle downward any further @ speed ? & Brand ? Does any one know with windshield laid back that fair @ 6ft, does it have Glare focus issues like the Lamborghini Miura for driver ?
Your correct about the 409 pump kit, been making them for about 30 years. Several differences from the black car, 4 most obvious the black car is an original body, Motor is a 300 hp SBC, and the black car features a real Auburn dash, and the windshield is a 3 inch chopped stock style vs a Wanless laid back unit. I have no idea about the glare factor. Eddy, when you have time join my thread with a few pictures of your current build for comparison.
@krylon32 , I do not have a 32 roaster , @ my place there ways a B-V Roadster one of family member had, it was sold then redone then on display @ York show inside . I am around 20ish yrs Younger then you , For me the 37deg windshield might be too much for me driving wise, Maybe 40 ish , One of mine is & A Roaster I have had since 1990 , E -coast Va Original Hot Rodded in 60ish , right now mocked up Late 60ish 70 appearing, my plane to change Direction to go back to what I feel 1960-5 ? The black A roadster in pic below , Not mine . Most of my others look mid 60s But there some modern race parts that Not HAMB friendly , I call Race Rods Mine are I would say 80% compleat , I Neaver get to 100% , because I then go diffrent way on engine combos , From NA , power adders , spray ,roots , T bo Flat head , sb , Jap straight 6 , Maybe The dreaded Ls or Lsx 6.6 or plus . The one's that kind of know me Here on HAMB , & some of my family, know I will have one engine set up a month or so then a compleat off wall different engine combo, standards is for the R-Rs is 100 ish @ 6.0-6:40 1/8 Drivers . Now I am interested in a D-D yr round Sun , Rain ,Snow Driver . The Black 32 roadster, below . With side curtains, tires , fender's bumpers , hood. I would like pretty much complete 32 Ford , brakes may be 40 or disc like you have , & just average paint really patina. When comes to engine , I would consider any engine, a 2.3 4 cycle simple TurBo Like 85 , or Hair dryer set up to 4 psi , Be able to cruise about 80 mph when on Interstate , engine , 4,6,8 , But Exhaust Sound real picky about , Just Mellow Like a stock 69 camaro with 250 ,6 Or Flatty with cam.
Eddy: Thanks for your reply. You picked 2 perfect examples of what you would like. After the roadster above has reached the complete bare roadster stage and all the sheet metal is fit and it's a roller I hope it finds a new home. Following right behind it is another 32 roadster with the interior and doors lengthened 2.25 inches. It will be full fendered. I have literally every part collected and in a local storage shed. P&J's chassis, Brookville body, UP sheetmtal, Sid's Bop Top, powered by a 300 HP 327 thru a 400 turbo into a 9 inch rear. It recreates a Yellow roadster I built in 1979. I'll keep pushing until I run out of money.
Following your skill level is encouragement for me. Thanks for the chassis photo's you emailed me, gave me some new ideas for the '27 T coupe I am soon too start.
Well done, I often wondered how many events the flathead chassis that showcased your craft in the earlier years attended...looks to be a refined example of years past.
