    Hey @J.Ukrop
    Way cool that this problem was solved quickly, using scientific logic and modern technology !
    I bet this isn't the last time, that a well chosen hammer, will come to the rescue !

    Congratulations! Your '32 chassis is looking great. I can't wait to see the roadster body on it.

    Well, before I go to sleep, need to share a story…basically commending you for as far as you’ve come (yes I read your HAMB thread).
    Years back a buddy of mine had a miss in his engine. Said he did everything to solve it. Nothing worked and he decided to pull the head that had a dead cylinder. Had the head rebuilt and son of a gun, still had the miss.
    Now he calls me up and explains what he’s done (everything I’d had done) and I then said “geez, are you sure the plugs are in the right order”? We debated for a bit. He called me back, yep, he pulled the head and had it rebuilt, for two swapped wires.
    I guess what I’m saying is that many would have thought the end was near on the engine, pulled it, sent it to the shop for a rebuild, inspection, etc.

    But, as you alluded to in your video, “the HAMB came through” and your friends of course.

  16. Great story, happy ending. Amazing how these old Flathead engines live to write another chapter. Soul

    That was a great video and thank you Joey for sticking with it. It really makes one appreciate every
    hand built Hot Rod you walk by. It really takes dedication and patience to get to where you are.
    Hats off.....

    @1-SHOT out of curiosity what part of an update video that the new chassis is together and running, soon to be driving makes it seem like the project will stall out?
     
  23. Fantastic! Congrats on your hard work.;):)

    I don’t believe the project will stall, seems Joey spends a good portion of his free time chasing down parts and working on the car.
    Ah to be young again;)

    I know where he lives.

    I will hassle him if we don't see regular updates.
