Awesome work!
Yeh sure, I bought a Luk clutch kit, part number 07-038. Yes it's a diaphragm type. Keep in mind that I haven't had it in the car to drive it yet....
My first thought exactly. Great looking car.
Didn't get the car together. My recovery has been slower and harder than I had (unrealistically) hoped. But I did get out to Gulgong for a look....
Love the build. Personally I really like the channel too, even if it was unpopular with others! Keen to see it done and driven hard.
That rack arrangement is... different! No bump steer with a rack mounted to a solid axle. But you'd have to have a slip joint with lots of...
Followed this thread a long time, not sure if I've posted previously, but I love it... Wonder if you knew that your car shared a namesake hotrod...
Another unusual mini supercharger setup, seen today at the Model A 95th birthday in Gulgong. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
That it would! But while it's quite a reasonable ask for the work and parts in it, it's still a bit rich for me. Love it though, too cool!
Too cool. Did you go any faster this year? And out of curiousity, what's the asking on the engine setup?
Thought it might have been. They seem awful small to me, does it work alright? I've got a few sc14s around, that's what I was thinking of trying...
How much advantage (besides cool factor) does the Winfield head have over the 6:1 Snyder? Not saying it doesn't, genuine question!
Cool. What's the supercharger?
I did more or less this. I had a clamp pushing from the chassis rail on a 1/4" extension through that hole pressing against the oil pump to hold...
I actually tried that, and it didn't help... Even tried starting it. As I say, it was properly stuck!
Missed your additions - cam appears straight, but I've got a Burtz cam to go in it anyway. More of the "while I'm here" mentality! I agree,...
Yeh, I had wondered about the possibility of something along those lines. I suppose it's possible, but there's no marks on the camshaft, and I was...
Still pretty useless and very sore, but I gave the block a bit of a clean this afternoon (in these photo's it's drenched in wd40 after cleaning)...
So basically, if I want to get the car to Gulgong, the compulsory punch list is: Clean the block. Bore and deck the block - keeping in mind that...
Thanks for all the responses! No progress today, I had hoped I might clean the block ready for machining, but I basically slept all day. A couple...
So... Now I'm in for some more work. Makes sense to me to upgrade the camshaft if I'm replacing the gear, and if I'm doing that then I should fit...
Next it was time to sort out a few more suspension bits, replace shackles and some other bits and pieces. I was going to reshape the main leaves...
Figured it wouldn't hurt to start a thread... Bought it like this, about 2.5 years ago: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] This is my first hotrod, but I've...
Good question! Left the scene of the crime, but don't know how far he got. Big dumb bastard. Landed in the road less than a car length in front of...
Thanks! Lol! Thanks. Thanks mate. Bike will be repairable, though it's made a bit of a mess. Look good! Glad you're happy with them. Yeh... If...
Got a pic? I picked a fight with a kangaroo while riding my Harley a couple of weeks ago, which unfortunately is going to put a dampener on my...
Great thread, looking forward to your progress.

No idea... I bought them from Stuckey Tyre Service. I know I spoke to Antique Tyres too.
Here they are side by side when I first got them. I probably would have gone for a bigger difference with hindsight, but I like the little bit of...
