Projects A few pics of the Caddy Flathead '32 loadster project

Ill post a pic of the progress very soon.

Love it!

 

Who has heads for this beast!? I think ill have to get a pair from Cyclone.

Pete-

 

PM J.B. here on Hamb. He bought a '47 LaSalle from a guy in my neck of the woods. I went to go look at the car for him and while there that guy had Edmunds heads (i believe that the mfg) and shit for Cad Flatheads. Lots of stuff. Ask him for that guy's number.

I'm on the hunt for a pair early heads, the ones that say Cadillac across them.
I painted the dash, looks like shit with fish eyes and dirt. Assembled the gauges.

Damn, this looks better every time I look at this thread.

Is this going to be on the road for Ty-Rods? I'm hoping so!

 

As in "Plates be damned. I'll drive this thing wherever the hell I want!"

What a coool car! So many things I like about it, Nice Work!

 

I Took the roadster for its first real drive tonight, she's got a wicked death wobble. In the past I would have just put a steering damper on it but I'm not sure it'll look right, any suggestion?

Have you checked the Toe? believe it or not it will affect it a bunch

 

Pete, put up a pic of the side steer setup and draglink, also a pic to see where the caster is at right now.

And, what is the tie rod made of? Does it flex if two guys manhandle both front wheels in opposite directions?

 

i bet the death wobble will be eliminated by only driving it on a sandy beach in new jersey.

 

I had to rotate a tire 180 degrees and re-balance to make my wobble go away.

 

Yep- I had to take my front tires in and get ROAD FORCE BALANCED at an old tire shop in Salina Kansas.

 

Exhaust done, now she's on the rack getting her toes adjusted
