Got the LYB running w\ vid

Been working to get this engine running,rebuilt the stromberg ww,changed some really old oil,put some water in and started it up.Had to put some points,cap and rotor. Purrrs like a kitten ! http://<EMBED src=http://i107

 

I take it the motor is not rebuilt? And has sat for many a year?

Sounds good though!!

 

I got the motor for a 100$,really don't know much about it except that it came out of a dump truck.The car has been in the mock up stage for 3 yrs and I had only ever started it for 15 sec. I hope to shake down run the car next weekend. Rob

 

Wow, very cool, got any more pics of the car you can post?

 

That's cool, Rob! Been wondering how things were going with you, the engine, & the car....nice to see progress.

 

That's the coolest.Hope you are showing it off next weekend.

 

Here is a shot of what Rob started with. Same car,it's came a long way.

 

Cool ride . Thanks for sharing

Damn Brother, that sounds so bad ***!! I was at Rob's garage today and the car is all apart and will be back together to go to the Rust Revival next week. This guy is frickin amazing. This is one of the coolest little hot rods I have ever experienced, this dude is a tribute to home built rods, tons of talent here!! Enjoyed the visit man!! ~Sololobo~

 

Thanks everyone! Yea I'm gonna try to get it together for the Rust Revival. Just to shakedown and then I'm gonna blow it apart for body and paint.It's going to be close there is alot of **** left to do. I love a challenge. Later Rob

 

Thrash week, I'll be over after GC at 4:00.

 

WOW!! That great!! Are you guys heading to the RR on Sat.?

 

Me too.Two left hands are better than none.

 

I hope Rob can handle both of you at the same time! The last time you guys got together it wasn't that nice for the rest of us.......

 

Ya sat.hopefully,I better get out to the garage..........

 

KICK-*** Rob Lee. You rock !!!!!! Now get that baby pointed towards Wayland and represent us Nebraska boys at the R.R. Wish I was goin with ya but graduations don't come that often. Have fun and good luck on the maiden voyage. Gary

 

All I wanted was to be left alone

 

looking and sounding good, rob

 

Turds rule!!!!!

 

Is that what the back of this box says, also??

 

No,the lyb running,not turds running.Thats like green kryptonite to superman,exlax to a turd.

 

Anyone going to the R.R. just follow the brake fluid trail from South O.

 

other then the porta pottys.....no turds were found!!!! missed ya guys!!!!

 

We got the car stopping around 4:30 Saturday.It was running sooner but the front brakes dealt us a fit.Rob's been driving it and he can't keep a smile off his face.Went cruising with him Sunday and it's a nice one.I'm sorry we missed the party,we tried.

 

Too bad ya missed the RR. I am just glad ya got er runnin! I cant wait to see it runnin down the road....

 

Rob took his roadster out to cruise night.My camera died before we got there.
