HI THERE! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Thanks for all the encouragement guys. Life got a bit wild for me last year, not the least of which being my...
That's a nice side project to take on. I was at Fitchburg too! Did you score anything cool? My biggie was a Fenton dual for the EAC flathead I...
I ran into this with my Offy intake as well. I ended up clocking the whole works to the passenger side. I have not yet found any reference as to...
I'm no longer sure how much of a Modified my car has turned out to be but since it's been mentioned here before, here is the latest: [IMG]
A brief update here. Lots has been happening, at least small stuff, since the last update. I am now running all 3 carbs, two new 97's and a...
Try VanPelt, Third Gen Auto, or Prewar and More. If you have a mill though, I'd just pull measurements from the broken piece and cut a new one...
THANKS! I saw your new engine the other day & it looks KILLER! Not sure if I'm free that weekend for NEVD yet but maybe. I am hoping to at least...
AND THE SCARS I HAVE TO PROVE IT
ASSEMBLE THEM ANYWAY! I had a memory pop up from all the way in the beginning of this journey when I just had a body and a pile of parts with...
OK, rewinding to catch up to how I got here. So, the RADIATOR has always been way too close and I did not find any simple options to correct that,...
Thanks all! YES, I hate the current throttle setup; it's barely functional and I want to replace it with rod linkage and put my cast Offy style...
I need to catch up on updates but, spoiler, I DROVE THE THUNDERCASKET TODAY!* (*to the end of the driveway)
IF I could find the correct ferrules, caps, fittings, etc. it would be simple but it's all seemingly unobtanium for a retail customer. The closest...
SO, I am at a super awkward point where I am realizing that some of the little things I don't adequately understand how to do are holding me up,...
Still trying to get things tuned right but she starts damn near first turn every time & runs pretty good. I've got good oil pressure too! I just...
Oof, I just logged back in this morning & saw this. Very happy to hear that didn't go even worse & hoping for a speedy & good recovery.
Just a quick update here. I have gotten the engine to turn over, got a cheap solenoid stuck in the process, and fired a few cylinders on starting...
THANKS FOR THE LEAD! I will chase this path down. EDIT: This "Oliver Tank-fuel K904577" is SO CLOSE that I think it's an Oliver tank of some kind...
Yeah man, still on it, just not posting much here. I have been A LITTLE better with my Instagram updates but not by much. I've got more updates to...
I wish I had a source for new ones to give you, but I scored these on Epay years ago IIRC. They're probably 40 years old or more, IDK. I remember...
Where to begin... It has been a minute since my last update. At this moment, I am scratching away at the last bits & bobs & newfound problems on...
I have actually plucked away at the AAV8 some more over the summer. I finally cut the rear crossmember loose and walked it back to a 120" WB and I...
SO, here we get back into the FUN STUFF about building this car again finally. I ended up sacrificing some not great rear doors for their tops...
the trick is controlling the dents ;) I actually did have to put some relief dimples in the transmission cover. I did this with my 12T press and...
OK, looks like I did cover the drive shaft tunnel already, so the next thing we fought with (and have been for a loooong time) was pedal location....
WHERE TO BEGIN? It's been 3 months since I've updated so this may be long winded. We have the kickboards, pedals, floor, firewall, driveshaft &...
Still kicking around, BTTT
While seeking diversion from cleaning up my driveway, I did a quick and ugly brush job with some Eastwood Rust Encapsulator that I wanted to use...
TRUTH! I'm getting excited to move past this stuff. I've grown to really dislike firewalls; they always fight me. I really want to get back to...
Was it you that needed spring brackets from me? I've totally forgotten who needed them but I did get them off the frame cleanly if anybody...
