Technical ***October 2024 Banger Meet Thread - Happy Halloween***

A friend of mine just bought this pile of T parts today & is excited about getting a build happening, he's wavering between a banger & a 60's bucket.
I also gave him his first ride in a hot rod & first drive of one too

 

Think I’m gonna call this one the “Butter Banger”

 

My recent acquisition of a Funk Model B side cover led me down a rabbit hole of history, resulting in enough original literature to create a video! I believe I own the original blueprints for the engine, but I'm currently trying to find someone in Coffeyville to confirm. Hopefully the cover comes in the mail soon!

 

Hey, Retson, you still looking for an input shaft? I stumbled onto this today.

Thank you!! Im looking for the entire transmission housing now, but that project might be put on the back burner/sold soon. Im starting to get Funky...

 

Wicked kool Retson! Interested to see some of the other special internals. Also noticed that the engine data plaque shows 53hp output with 39mm (1.535”) venturi carb. Roughly the size of a Winfield S/SR-C. Seems a bit oversized, but who am I to argue with a FunkE engineer

 

Not all four bangers, but my little T pops up here a few times...

 

Fantastic video! Thanks for sharing.

 

Taking a short break from building wheels to make a few Winfield S/SR choke horns, but this time with the correct raised lettering! Up next is the size C choke horn

 

Very nicely done...

 

Very nice! @Kevin Pharis

 

I’m about 2000 spokes into this summer, but the year is not over yet! It’s nice to be making something that doesn’t take up much room in the shop

 

Probably a dumb question, but it doesn't look like your rim has a drop center. How are you going to get a tire on there?

How many spokes per wheel? I have 80 spoke wheels on my Harley and it (as I recall) looks busier than that. I guess I could count them, but I bet you know, haha. More pictures and some details please.

 

This is a Buffalo for Model T Ford. 21” lock ring rim (lock ring not installed) 54 spokes

 

Is it November or has the world come to an end?
