Show your cool finned aluminum parts

Wow!! Those are some seriously finned wheels. I respect whoever thought them up and made them but they also scare me a bit. I can see them on the right custom that's been shaved down to a basic jellybean and needs the unique twist of these wheels. I trust somebody will do them justice. So different!?!

 

They would look cool on a Buick.....

 

No, that's something you hang on a garage wall and just talk about. Cool, but kind of hard to look at in the context of an actual car. Also... cleaning.

 

Here's a VC cast by Tom Lowe. It's got clearance for roller setup. I had him machine back some of the fins to allow filler and PCV to sit flush. Those were made to spec for me by @****ster27.









And matching side covers

 

Are you having a “Yard Sale”?

 

Springfield Mo swap meet.

 

For a SBC and WCFB Carbs. (for sale)

Sent from my SM-N950U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

 

Cool.
Then all I would need are the Carbs

 

Not WCFB but....

 

I seen this single for sale for big bucks but have never seen these before

I've been wanting to post this...... but I had to wait for a garage cleanup to find it first.
It's on the way to the sandblaster to even out the filing and sanding of the mold lines. It'll be a tachometer pod; the flange mount is for the dash top mounting. There's a threaded ball and br*** thumbscrew to tilt or angle it. Optionally, the clamp is for column mount. How it gets mounted depends on how the rest of the dash comes together.
It had a standard bulb socket inside when I got it. I was told it was originally an outside light fixture on a vintage trailer or motorhome. I think it's got just the right look for my '50 Chevy truck.

 

Love it.

 

This is an original 292 Chevy 6 thermostat housing. Had all the wrong holes in all the wrong places. And, the wrong angle to the radiator.




This is what I fabbed up to replace it.












A bit more detailing to come.
