here's what your going to need

 

brother,
That motor does look sweet, good choice and score ... It's gonna be awesome with a 3-Deuce intake you set on top!
blessed

 

Seriously!!! I'm so stoked!

Come up next weekend and get your frame! We can put the motor together! DO ITTTTTTTT!!!!!

 

Hahhahaha! I love you too Scotty.

How's the truck comin along?

 

Not nearly so well as your project. It must be nice to have all that time and money! Keep it up. I am growing accustomed to our love/hate relationship.

When are you coming to Texas? You know, we have this Round Up thing you should really see....

 

awsome work, im so jelous of your stuff and skills

and thats a bad *** XR 650, i always thought that i was the only one that liked dirtbikes and hotrods

 

Oh man, I wish I had money dude....I'm so poor I cant even pay attention! Seriously though.....I do have plenty of time since I dont have a "real" job hahaha.

I will start my gas donation fund soon for the roundup. I think if I can raise about 4.56 billion USD, I can feed the nailhead there and back.

Oh, and I'll need a room to crash in too*cough cough* *hint hint*

Thanks, I appreciate the praise! Jealousy not needed though, its all smoke and mirrors. Haha.

 

You mean you need a bail out and a corporate get-away! Come on, we got ya covered, might even have a real bed somewhere.

 

Hey, it worked for AIG!!

I'm gonna go make some calls to the Obama administration. I always wanted a 165 million dollar bonus!

But seriously....I'm shooting for next year for sure! You should make it up to the hot rod revolution, its a rad time!

 

Got this stuff today. Took a few days off from the build to gather my senses.

I'm gonna pretty up the carbs a bit and either paint the intake black, or polish it. Not sure yet. scored a finned valley pan as well.

 

When I said "you ****", it was a slight understatment....

 

I took the engine home today after its long slumber at my buddy Nic's house. Thanks for the help Nic!



Got home and put some thingies on it. I think I'm liking this.

Gonna either paint or polish the valley pan and intake tomorrow and possibly do some plumbing. SO STOKED!

I didnt realize I put the carbs on wrong til I started typing this. DUH. Flame away!

 

love it... great job...keep the pics rolling in

 

no worries... it's always an honor and a privilege to help you out in any way on any of your projects. so, you are gonna' polish 'em up after all? RULER,,,,,,,,,,
nic

 

Oh, by the way Nic..... USE THE CAR COVER!!!!!!!!!!

grace and peace†

Thanks Homie, cant wait for the 13th!!


I haven't done much in the last couple weeks....too busy with other stuff. Just picked up a complete build on another tudor, so mine will have to share time (I dont get paid for my own stuff hahaha) I'll start on this thing again as soon as my hubs show up from riley auto.

Heres a pic I snapped in the driveway today with my trusty phone.....thought it was kinda cool.

 

FINALLY Got out in the shop again this week. I've been slacking big time....too busy with other stuff.

Worked on the bones a bit...

Need more caster, a little cut and a fishplate on the inside should do the trick...

and..yes, I welded the seams before I put the fishplate on.






I'll have some more pics of the finished product later, not quite done yet. I'll clean it all up and it will be purdy.


My buddys Jim and Vic thought it would be funny to hang one of my supermotos from the ceiling. In the process of forklifting it up there, they dropped it and bent up the rear wheel pretty bad. Nice going.

It was kinda funny walking in and seeing it hanging there though.

 

Looking like its coming together and fast

 

Wow sweet car, I really dig the wheels...

I've got a set that I'm going to use on a 4x4 '31 A Pick Up.

 

Thanks, and yes......nailhead = good.

 

Nice....very R*t Rod....should market it as a REAL suicide front end....

Nice work Scotty...

 

Wow Dave. Never thought you would stoop down and use that kinda language toward me. I thought we were homies?

 

I did a little paint test on the rear beltline to see if I liked what was in my head....antique white with black striping on the belt lines. (I did the black with a sharpie and a caffeine induced shake haha)

I likey. I'm pretty sure this will be the color scheme I go with.

 

I like that. Nice rat, er car. Before you cover it up, though, try a Ford Blue on the stripes.

 

I 'bleeped' out the offending words tho

 

Since I will probably need a room to crash in for the next roundup, I won't call you names.

The blue is a good idea Scotty....I will try it out.

you guys and your filthy rodents!

 

Cleaned up the fish plates on the wishbones and sandblasted them today....

I love it. The grill is a nice touch - so unexpected on an A. Haha - very cool.

 

Funny, but true.


and...thanks!
