thanx guys hehe yeah Scoob, i think i forgot to mention that i got an complete hilborn for the 394 aswell, but suppose the pictures told that story already , dist driven even no need to mess with frontcover and external water pump etc..
I can't imagine this thing being much more badass... How about more details on the hilborn setup? I hope to eventually build a Rocket for my roadster.
Awesome Daemon. As you probably know 33-34 5 windows are my favourites, at least right now Also I just love Rockets, so this just can't go wrong. Unless the wild grill plans includes a spider web or barb wire Håll oss uppdaterade. //Magnus
RocketDaemon, Great work! I can't help but think that the firewall has been modified, has it? Hope you can share the frontend treatment? As this will put everything into perspective. Great details for sure, Thanks! Ken
VERY Nice. My favorites - 33-34 coupe, Olds engine. And Hilborn on top ! The trans tunnel & firewall work is very well done, can you share any info/pics ?
RocketDaemon, .... looking good !!! Maybe the right way to sell stuff to get one project done, but you know your gonna regret sellling it, one day or the other..... By the way...any good and interessting stuff you can sell me... ...always in the mood to buy cheap I guess you've skipped your 348 plans.....at least for this one. Take care and keep us posted ! / primerkid
Ok, so here we all are in the good ol' USA where we have [limited] access to the parts he used on this 34-[33?] and we have a hard time finding the early speed parts we want. This guy lives in Europe and comes up with really hard-to-find parts! Nice goin, man. I applaud you. Can't wait to se it all finished. And I thought I was hot shit because I scored all the parts to put my T-56, 6 speed behind my old [bellybutton SBC] 327 in my 40 chevy coupe....HA! My efforts pale in comparison.
a couple of more pics, and btw i don't want to take so much credit yet for this car... i "blame" it all on the previous owner.,.. i will finish it all though
