Hood?? whats a hood... oh wait, its one of those things you toss out with those things called FENDERS RIGHT??
Wow, that thing is pretty...First time I ever saw one. Where did the term "mill" come from though? I always wondered that. I guess from milling heads?
DAMN YOU!!!!! I thought I would be the first guy to make one of those sick OHC's look cool. Ha ha But seriously that is totally sick! I have 3 of them in my shop and Im elbow deep in rebuilding one right now. What'd you think of Quenton? I've been talking with him a lot on mine. Its a thing of beauty!
Quenton is a hell of a kat, he knows his stuff for sure. I have probably driven him crazy the amount i messaged him as well. I have another polished up OHC in my 53 pontiac for the last 15 years with a HELL of alot of miles i have put on it! I also have 2 more OHCs in the shop as well.
Ill try to get more pics up in a different thread this weekend on the rest of the car, as i am startin bodywork this weekend finally.
I sure hope you like doin bodywork more than I do, Brent! I've been at my coupe for a month now and probably have another month to go! Bondo & beer...good for what ales you!!
Hey Leadsledmerc congrats on gettin a lil pic of your ride in Streetrodder. I like it! Yeah i actually dont mind bodywork on custom stuff, especially on my own stuff. I have done body work on a few rods up here.
Thanks, man. I've done my own bodywork on every car I've built. I bitch about the work cause it takes me sooo long to do compared to others, but I wouldn't have it any other way...flaws and all!!
You have done an absolutely amazing job! I would display that engine in the living room of my home! I really like the oil pan protector (I am assuming that is what it is, forgive my ignorance), drilled and painted, it looks just like a little dropped axle, BITCHEN! Great Job, I cannot wait to see the whole car. Keep up the good work my friend.
To fancy to use-Looking good to say the least and I am sure with your talent you can find room for just one more carb!!!
If you refer to my previous post you can see exactly what i did to create the mini ibeam. Not difficult at all. Just some time. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=324360
WOW I don't know why I'm not seeing this until now, but you have done a FANTASTIC job with this car! I'm very impressed! Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see the results!
awesome thank you, had never seen that thread. I like it, you're attention to detail has me flush with envy.
You shouldn't put that engine in a car, you should put it on a rotating stand and take it to county fairs and charge $5 a head to let people look at it in awe. Seriously though, sweet reet motor man!
Well i have been at it for about a month on the body work and as much as i enjoy makin things smooth on my rides, i am right about sick of bodywork and sanding now haha... glad its a small car, but damn there is a long roof there to get flat. Oh well its comin, will post pics of progress perhaps this weekend. Managed to get the doors bang on aligned now and they close sooooooooo nice now i am pumped of that accomplishment.
