Projects few shots of my detailed tranny ! think i'm gettin caried away !

after building such a pretty motor i couldn't put just some old transmission behind it right ? so took a $50 core i had layin around and gutted it , cleaned up the case and shot it with the same victory red as the engine , chrome pan , detailed all the bolts and hardware !, heres the bad part i decided to pollish the belhousing , man what a dirty job , still working on it will post pics of it later ! heres some shots of the ****** ! its of to the shop for the works gonna be a neck snapper !

 

Nice Job!

 

Nah, that's just OCD'r details! Take it from someone who can relate! I had my complete ****** polished out, ha!

 

its purdy!

 

Attention to detail, man. No shame in that. Great job.

 

What grill shell did you decide on?...........doing the details is good, shows pride & ownership of everything you do!

 

still up in the air on that one ? kinda thinkin 32 ? prolly paint the 34 chevy too and have a little interchangability , only 4 bolts to swap , we'll see as it gets closer i guess !

 

Nnniiccee !!

 

lookin sharp. what degreaser/cleaner did you use to prep that case?

 

Nice job!

 

Looks good to me.

 

Nice work, now you need some Lexan floorboards so all that work doesnt go unnoticed.

 

should have taken pics before i started , bought it off local craigslist this thing was covered in about a 1/2 inch of greese and grime ! Whole lot of s****ing engine degreaser to get the heavy stuff off at the car wash , them some superclean and simple green , still wasnt happy so i took it to the local machine shop and had em hot tank it ! Them scuffed it up good with a red scotchbrite before paint ! After the bell was degreased found a 3 inch crack , v'd it good and tigged it up !

 

love the trans...not over the top at all,nothin ever is if your the one doin it...how ever the polished ******...wow i wish i had that much time...but still awsome

 

There's a Model A running around with the same attention to detail. It's got a tinted plexigl*** floor so everyone can see. Great looking rod.

 

looks good!

 

Damn That Bird Motor has got some Killer Exhaust Ports !! And I like the valve-cover Idea >>>>.

 

I can relate.I spent many ,many hours sanding and prepping my 9" third member before painting it. But it looks so good, smooth gloss black against a chromed housing. Even chromed the u-joint grease shield. OCD is a good thing,right! That looks so right,keep it up, like that, and it all adds up to a great build, that stands out a**** the many.

 

Na, thats what its all about. When it all done and running it will be sweet. Ice man

 

Looks Good.

 

I understand and appreciate the thought. We did my driveshaft today.......

 

That motor and ****** will look great together.

It is the attention to detail that sets a great car apart from the rest.

Really looking good.

Mike

 

I love it.

 

Looks way good. Youll have plenty of time to polish if we get this stupid blizzard they are talking about.

Brad

 

Great look!! Where'd you get those T-Bird valve covers to fit a Winsor engine?

 

that's f@#kin hillarious ! nice !

 

I dont see the big deal, and whats odc? NOT!


"I 'ont care whoo ya ayre, whats good stuff right there"

 

Seems like everytime I take the time to prep and paint something, I either drop a wrench on it, or drop the part itself. Did anyone ever powder coat a trannny? It is less expensive, than one would think, and would stand up better to road debris. You would probably have to totally dis***emble it, for fear of baking and damaging seals and bearings.

 

Unbelievable paint on the shaft. I have to shorten mine (shaft that is) to 15 1/2 inches. Maybe I'll make a camel, non-filter, of course. Think I'll go have a smoke and think about it. Great idea, hillarious and very creative.

 

we were going to paint the shaft to look like it had twisted ends but decided that was a little too much.


I'm almosy embarrased after seeing the trans and such polished by the guy who started this thread. That T bird stuff looks great
