Nice job. The best part of this whole build is that its a Chevy. I like model A's but seeing a Chevy is just way cooler.

I can use most everything you have shown so far on my 26 buick roadster project. Including the slave cylinder and everything else. Keep em coming, cuz I am still building mine also. Great job...

 

looking killer ! the disc look good on it ( screw on style I hope) great job !

 

Heres some pics of the trans mounts, jeep/trans dapt mounts on the frame, we bent up some 3/8 thick 2" wide flatbar from those to the trans, then some 1x2 thickwall tubing to connect them, its super strong.

heres a pic of what i came up with for the gas pedal, its an old powerglide kickdown belcrank peice, the car has the moon pedal so that just pushes on the curved end and then the other end has a tie rod that goes thru the firewall to the carb linkage.

I didnt really get any pics today but we got the radiator on and brake blead and clutch blead also, and got it fired up enought to break in the cam, gonna do some tuning on it tomorrow morning then take it to the show.

a not on the clutch slave mount, we put it on the outer of the two holes in the clutch fork and it didnt have enought travel so we just moved the rod over to the inner hole, its at a little bit of an angle but seems to work of, we will be pulling the braket off and removing the spacers and notching the bracket to move the slave over, but after the show.

ill try and take a video of it tomorrow.

Bull, did you polish this all by hand? A play by play would have been neat (thread within a thread). The dang place (HAMB) moves too fast as usual. That and you are so efficient and have the work/parts/fit/finish/stance/look so very perfect it SHUTS up most of the commentators. Slow up and take a few breaths and detail a few steps for the slow readers. I have noticed a lack of few daily 'boy'z' on this thread. Good work, mister.

 

Well we got it running and broke in, still have to do some tuning but its gettin there. still have some stuff to do after the show but were gonna take a couple weeks off on working on it to let the dust settle!

heres a couple pics and a video

I'm planning to come see it tomorrow too. Sorry your thread got burried between the "I love Speedway motors" and the "I hate Speedway motors" threads.

Very nice! Thanks for the good info on the slave cylinder bracket. I've never used them, always used a mechanical linkage... This should save me some headaches later on. Good job!
