I thought so, especially after seeing the rusted-up-stored-outdoor stuff I've been finding lately.
I found myself a complete 1933 rear axle and the guy even had a nice front axle so I grabbed that too... I took a trip this AM to get both axles,...
It took my O/A torch to do mine. Biggest trick was making them match! [ATTACH]

A little seat work today... All I really want to do it install the steering wheel and gauge cluster but I need the seat in first so I can set the...
Occasionally I roll it out of the garage just to gander at it and see how far it's come... Still long way to go but getting closer! [ATTACH]...
I found an exhaust adapter that would work for the steering tube and tacked it onto the 1.5" tubing that goes up through the column drop. The...

One set of split wishbones. Good condition: nothing broken, bent, or rusted out. Plenty of meat for welding ends on. $95 + the ride. [ATTACH]...
I modified the repro dash a bit... Originally the sides of the dash just ended and had a bent over tab as a fastener. I didn't like that you could...
Thank you sir! It felt like a real accomplishment after spending an hour+ setting it up to do 6 minutes of cutting, lol.
I'm back on the Banger this weekend and working on the steering column... With the '32 dash and column drop in there the original steering column...
Ooooooffff! Let me tell ya, one is enough for now. I'd definitely starve if I had to make these for living, thanks for the interest though!
Mine too, I like the idea of running the B water pump. My google foo hasn't turned up any reviews or anyone who has/is running this head so no...
Is anyone running one of the Dan 4 Banger finned 7.1 flatheads with the model B water pump? Like it or no? [ATTACH]

I like that idea, if I hadn't already ordered my longer studs I could have gone that route... I'll post pics when I make my spacers. They'll end...
