Thanks @Bored&Stroked and @Tim . Extremely reputable builder (Tardel). I plan to call him tomorrow to see what he thinks. The starter is toast....
Having a bit of anxiety today. Tried to crank the engine over with the new battery and cables and it wouldn’t turn much at all if any. Battery...
Got the fuel fill pipe in. One step closer to a runner [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Good thoughts. The contacts are on the back of the switch, and I do plan to have an upholstered panel behind the seat to enclose the trunk area....
Looks right at home [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
And it’s a Moon cap to boot
Another gift from my Uncle. Nice Cobra gas cap for the roadster![ATTACH] [ATTACH]
And I got my column drop closer to finished. I want to add some braze to smooth out the corners and then it should look good. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Got the headers painted and back on the car. Tight fit on the driver side. Not so bad on the passenger side. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
That stuff is pretty slick! Thanks for the tip!
Got my battery cables and cutoff switch installed today. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
And a shout out to @J.Ukrop for recommending batterycablesusa.com for the cables. Fast and perfect!
With the column shortened, I'm working on the steering drop. I used the '29 drop and cut it to add some drop to it. The plain part looked kinda...
Great stuff! Happy Holidays!
Looks awesome! Great work!
Nice @J.Ukrop What's with the color in the lower right corner :rolleyes:
Nice ‘34!
Hahahhahhaaaa! That's rich... 2k for a rebuilt 8ba??? I'd snap that up in a minute if it was closer to me. I've only had flatheads for the...
I've heard the same about mounting a fan on the Powergen. Can't you use a stock generator and mount the fan on that, or do you need more amperage...
In the show picture with the valve cover off, do I see chrome rockers??? [IMG]
I feel very fortunate that Vern and Mike Bishop built my 8BA earlier this year. Here it is on the test stand...[ATTACH]
It's a sad day when lawyers run the world.
Thanks @Tim
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Mocking up my drop for the column. I cut the '29 drop to add a piece in the middle to drop it down...
Great job on the column! I like the custom but humble style.
Done! I cut down the shaft to a length that placed the steering wheel where I wanted it. Then I measured all the other components (several...
@Marty Strode Thanks for the pictures! Glad you mentioned scribing the shift tube. I would have forgotten to do that and had to cut it...
Thanks, Budget! I appreciate the offer. I've got one spare outer tube, but no spare shift tube. I'm hoping not to F up. It's going to be a...
So I took it apart and realized that it’s much simpler than I expected. Looks like I can take the same amount out of the outer tube and shift...
All great ideas! Thanks! I really don’t want to F it up, so I’m going to take my time and write it all down. Looking forward to any other tips...
