Featured Projects A Vision Again...Odd Duck Coupe The Sickness Continues

You can't just put no hole vette valve covers on it. There will be no place to hook up the PVC valve unless it is a 283 or 327 and has a road draft tube hole by the dist. I doubt that though because it looks like it has accessory holes in the front of the heads meaning 305 or 350

 

It has an Oil fill tube in the front, I'm getting a breather cap today.

 

Let's focus on the car fellas.

If you want to focus on a Moderator slipping up, send me a PM instead so the car doesn't lose its spot light.

Thanks

 

Man I dig the Art Deco front Grilles and trim from the late 30's.

 

The 12 spots package tray is for a 12 pack / individual beers.

Just kidding- absolutely do not drink and drive.

 

Included was an additional nice 38 Dodge D8 front grille.

I’m going to fill in the center gap and make a really cool shop light to either hang from the ceiling , wall mount or on the top of my tool box. It will be the only one if it’s kind. It's pretty heavy but will figure what works / looks the best.

 

I'm not sure Mike, I'm playing with the idea of bending a strip to run down the middle to fill it in.
Then cut strip openings to coincide with the grill opening strips so light can p*** through the grille strips and center strip openings.

 

Thanks man.
Yea the vision hit me with the Art Deco Grille and trim. Rock solid car that's 98% rust free that you really cant see and the patina. Different and cool is a great description. I had a vision and done deal. It's *****in'
I have some work to do to get it road worthy like dual exhaust with smithy muffler, clean up/hook up some wiring, fill in some dash gages and rubber matt the interior floor. Door gl*** mechanism clean up. Plugs, fluids etc etc etc.

 

Some of you fellas are *** men, especially Rickybop so here is your requested full *** to the camera pic.

 

Nice feature is you can unbolt the sides to get to the engine easier. Made changing plugs easy to get to. Drivers side is another story. Even with the side off, I couldn’t get to drivers side plug 2 as the steering arm was close enough I had a hell of a time getting it unscrewed, and getting the wrench out it was a ***** as well. That was from the top side. So I ended up having to jack up the front and go out plug 23 and four from the bottom and got them changed out.

The old plugs were definitely worn and a lot of carbon buildup.

I put the new ones in and this old girl fired right up and came to life like a fresh change of “D” batteries for the ladies.

 

Remember I said it was 98% rust free.
I wasn’t kidding. Here is the only 1% break through rust on the p***engers below the door rocker strip.
That’s 1% if that.
The only other spot is a p***enger fender lip cut / stick weld filled.

So there’s your 2%…..,
The rest of the 98% rock solid.
Unbelievably solid.

 

If you wonder about the Dodge Ram logo, i’m not sure how far it went back but this is 87 years old….. pretty neat.

 

what year is that off of?
