Nice solution to the master cylinder location. Is the pushrod that goes into the master cylinder supported somewhere on the part of it that is outside of the master cylinder? Looks to me like you could have eliminated the heim joint that is closest to the cylinder and just used a longer straight rod from the throw on the pivot rod straight into the master cylinder. Granted it would have swung through a small arc as you push the pedal, but might remove a little play from all the linkage. Looking good!
After some long weeks witohout any job on my project, I finaly spent a day at the garage, and start to work on the header of my 292 chevy 6. I've started with a set of ebay header flanges, some s****yard & industrials tubes and elbows...maybe $30 plus the flanges. Started to bolt the flanges on the engine tacked the first elbows followed the process using 90° elbows to turn around the intake then, I took a long 4inches or something tube, cut a long triangle on it.. then, rolled it and start to weld the thing yeah ! cut some holes then, again some time spent on tubes and elbows adjustements, and voilà ! needs now to spent some hours to finish the weldings, and maybe build a muffler inside... and with the carbs, air cleaners and the right valve cover...
I dig the header it's real unique and a great shape. I think you are going to end up with one fun ride. Keep up with the good work.
latest update, nothing really interresting, worked on the steering components, tried some steering box mock ups... A pic for the motivation
Etienne, very impressive build ! I'm also following your progress here. What wheelbase did you finally end up with ? Keep up the good work. / primerkid
Thanks Don't remember exactely, will check next time I will going to my shop. I believe it's around the same wheelbase of a Model A. Looks short on the rear, long on the front, because an inline 6 is long !
I love this project ! great to see updates what about regulations there ,its getting harder to build a car here in the UK (sva ****) ,do you guys have the same problem Cookie
You're just sayin' that cause any modification on a vehicule is illegal in France. Looks great, do you have any close up pic of it mounted on the engine?
LOVE LOVE LOVE this build!!! nice friggin job my man. impressive and inspiring. keep at it. i can not wait to see it finished.
Worked a little bit this week end. Nothing really impressing. worked on details like rear spring bolting system, also on rear shocks mounts. Also some rear light mock ups. I need now to buy a set of tire, to work on the right stance and check suspennsion and work on the steering.
I like this build a lot. kinda reminds me of my old modified, only yours is gonna be cooler. Man, you are gonna have fun with it when its done.
No big update, was busy these last months... Today, we rolled it outside the shop, for the first time, that was a good way to look around, check stance, etc. I'm very satisfacted with the proportion and stance (will be better as soon as the tires will be here). The project start his outside life as a trailer queen, to join a friend's shop, and work together with his 32 sedan project.
I have followed this for some time, and admire your tallent. Great job! Makes me want to do more on my pile of parts.
