BLOWN FLATHEAD BUILD FINISHED-part3

sorry jim forgot to anwser your question. 12lbs.

 

Hi Troy,

what dates you in town?

 

Corey
Here untill Sunday 28/01/07.

 

OK, Thursday it is.....Won't be until late arvo, I'm working

Funny you should ask about the bourbon......my fav shop is way over the other side of town, but my second fav is at Jimbob's local shops. Tell him to take you down to Charnwood grog shop.

They USE to have a good selection, haven't had to go there lately (my ex lives 200 meteres from Jimbob and sometimes I HAVE to swing past a grog shop after visiting her )

......Basil Hayden, Evan Williams single barrell or Rip Van are all reasonable drops, charnwood use to stock all of them. Elijah Craig is also not bad and now that Coles have the import rights it's only $38 a bottle.....WAY better value than Wild Turkey at $42 or JackShit at $40

Or if your in a hurry....Bookers 108 proof, $100 a bottle but it only takes a few shots.

.....and for some variety I shall bring a bottle of Olmeca Gold out. A bit of cactus juice is always a nice change......developed a taste when I was hanging in San Jose, but most of the good ones ain't available here.

 

Do you know of a supplier for Dos Eques Amber (or Green) down your way.....only one I have found is in Perth. $76 a case...ouch

 

Holy shit - that's a fair amount of boost for a street flatty!

But it's gotta make you smile.

 

what a great series

beautiful work, awsome car

 

Oh Geeeeez, you had to go and say that, now the GAMBs won't be able to live with him

Dennis

PS Congrats Corey (get the water tank in too )

 

Hey you forgot the link to the licence plate thread, that's part of the engine build too! LOL

swifty

 

Well done mate!!!!

Been a long time coming, well as long as I have been asking you endless questions for anyway. Enjoy!

Danny

 

That is as bitch'n a hot rod as there is anywhere. Now get out there and wear it out a little.

 

That 32 is perfect. And you topped it off with the best engine for a traditional ride. Great detail and an absolutely beautiful car.

 

The car is wonderful----------- we run a 6-71 on our race car ( XF/BGR ) and it works great! Might want to drop the boost a taste for a street car. You really did a great job ! Congrats!!!!

 

Nice job mate, congrats.

See ya Wednesday night.

 

Thanks all,

I am pretty happy all in all, there are still some small things I want to do. But I feel much better knowing it has a fresh motor in it now.

now I can go out and do the miles in it. I might have to build a roof though, if anything, just to keep the sun off my noggin.

Now for that quickchange....

 

WOW, the roadster looks awesome. One of my favorite cars here on the HAMB.

 

Been following this for a while. The whole process is well documented and will serve others well. The result is beautiful.

 

Beautiful car and great step by step on the engine assembly.

Speaking of rearends...how is your rear suspension set up? The car sits PERFECT!

Thanks,

Neal

 

Hi Neal,

its an orginal 32 spring lowered about 6 inches and the original rear member has been pie cut and raised 3 inches. I have also C'd the chassis as it use to bottom out if I had the boot ( trunk) full. Which I do often as I take this car to swap meets when I sell stuff. I will take a photo of the amount of stuff that I get in there, you'll be amazed. its not lined for that reason.

cheers Corey

 

WOW! Another great car from downunder. Ya'll know how to put em together...great job! The only thing better than seeing that car on the HAMB would be seeing it in my driveway. Cheers, ya'll.

 

Has it left Conn. yet?

 

Absoutely Beautiful
