Technical What are you working on?

Hope you get better TA DAD. Take care buddy.

 

I did pull the bowls off yesterday, wow, amazing how fast the ethanol turns to*****!! Cleaned everything up and stuck it back together. I'm in love with how the car runs now. If you ever hear me talk about another single 4 tunnel ram, slap the taste out of my mouth lol... can't wait to hit the damn road in my car again!!!

 

Looks nice Lloyd. I think I would just bolt it in.

 

I hear ya big guy. I need some decent weather to go do some test hits.

 

I wanna take this beast over to the 1/8th mile track here for some fun. Still gotta get seat belts in it and side windows.

 

Sounds like you are damn close, thats a good thing.

 

I can sympathize with you, I went thru that 7 years ago after complications with my gastric cancer surgery that left me in a coma for a month followed by being confined to a hospital bed for another 6-8 weeks. Going thru physical therapy got me back on my feet and walking again in a few months, so you still have time to get back in the game and make the trip to Lloydstock!

 

Finally , pretty much done , just waiting for the weather.

 

I dunno, it appears to have that old dragster look going on. But that’s just me.

 

Lloyd; if you weld that frame in will you still be able to remove/replace the tank without doing a frame off?

 

Yeah all ya gotta do is remove the 1/4" bolts around the perimeter and it lifts out. Where it's basically a station wagon without a roof, it has a fairly healthy subframe that sits on the X frame rails. I'll fasten the tank frame to that. I do thing with the thought in mind of "the next guy can put it back stock", but in all honestly, that'll be after I'm dead, so I shouldn't worry about that lol

 

But I'm thinking out loud. If I mount it to the bottom of that rail, I'll have clearance over the tank to fabricate a filler pipe all the way back to the fuel door on the quarter panel, instead of having it in the bed.... hmmmm

 

I really like the idea of the filler pipe in a fuel door.

I've went to great lengths to be able to fill Clarence from a filler door instead of the fill cap being in the middle of the floor inside the cabin.

 

Yeah I feel ya buddy, I threw the heap together last year, just to get it on the road. The 10 gallon fuel cell was used because i had it lol, and a sheet of plywood in the floor because I had it too lol. I took the jigsaw and cut an access hole wasn't my greatest work, but I put about 500 miles on it that trip and everything worked, just had to stop for gas a lot and move stuff to get to the lid lol

 

That looks like about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on.

 

@WTF really

Is that an original Corvette frame? I had a '66 50 years ago but have never seen a frame without the body on it.

 

Yes sir it is a original 63 chassis.

 

I got this in a good state of tune.



Then I was chasing what I thought was play in the steering.

Turned out to just be a traction issue.

 

What in the hell??? That ain't a tri five firewall!!!

 

It’s been around before the red 56 and the green 57. Back on it now.

 

I ordered my domed lense to go on this gas cap I'm making and made an avatar album wink wink

 

Working on roof wood for my A pickup. Have a lot of tuning to do.

 

The dome came home, so a real quick mockup, I'm digging it, now to figure out what to stick it with.

 

Found this model T hub cap in a box of stuff I picked up. It ocurred to me that it might just fit my steering wheel in place of a horn*****on. Ran it across the buffer and snapped it in place. Few blems makes it fit right in with my style lately!

 

Thats nice, well done.

 

Cap is 30-31 Model A, looks cool. JW
