So back at it... I wanted to get my flathead fired up before I went further. So before Xmas went to fire it up and....blew the threads out of a spark plug hole. So, ripped off head and fixed two threads. Bolted back on and fired it up. So green light to get project rolling. Made (sectioned f1 crossmember) today and
Bolted cowl and doors together and mated doors and rear section to it. Tacked in headlight/ shock perches and mocked up radiator. As you guys said. Rad is too tall.
Options. Buy dropped radiator(3”) or I think I may make Lower mounts and Tig the lower hoses 45-60 degrees upward. Threw in lights to get idea and measured for shocks. Next it’s frame pedals and steering setup then body mounts and floor.

 

Like most here, this is motivation for me to get rolling and also a journal of progress!

 

Gotta put these in order, but here is how I found it. My computer has all the pictures from my phone!

 

Nice build!....I love what your doing.....really looks good.

 

Well I got a few more hours to put in over the last night now that it’s near 30 and he heat wave is here.

Got f1 box cut and fit in frame. Made mock up of where it will be in car as well. Still need to finish Flange and bolt it to frame.

Got pedals cut and mocked up. All tacked for final fitment once floor is in

Got 29 rad shell cut and swan on top
Got new rad mounts made
(Realize new problem with upper hoses now hitting fan)
Installed 40 tail lights (had em on shelve) and plasma was out
Added hubcaps and trim for picture.
Also robbed a 30’cowl for the visor.

Next session. Fit steering arms and pitman and linkage. Finish box mount
