Projects Digger progress - the blower is built.

Gary Roushkolb has been doing my TIG welding on the chassis and giving me plenty of wisdom a digger newbie needs. I first met him when he built the blower for my coupe. He's a class act and I'm proud to have him for a friend.

He got the blower for the digger together and emailed me these pics.

 

Ah yes. Nice to see the whipple woofer is polished! That is a nice piece.

 

that looks good. good to see that the Crager end plate was used in the build up.

 

Nice Piece !! Very bright-very bright!! >>>>.

 

Lookin good Kerry,

 

Sweeeeeet!

 

Kerry as usual, Looks great. Cal

 

Yep, as usual...It`s looking good!!!

 

looking at those photo's, and your rail, makes me feel like a 12 year old boy with a box of firecrackers destined for some unsuspecting bypassers....gIgLe, ChUcKlE, hE, he...that's going to be fun..

DaNgEr, DaNgEr

Nice!

Is the rear bearing plate factory GMC under the Cragar cover, or is it aftermarket too?

 

It's a factory plate. I still need to drill the oil holes (to add and check the level) on it.

 

Nice !

Im just about to start a rebuild on my GMC 6-71. No polish though, I want this one to look old, but work like a new one hehe.

Nice job !

Kerry, that is just plain "Bad****". That project is moving along nicely!!~Sololobo~

 

Yeah, it rules, but the guy that sells them is a jerk. ;-)

 

When's the motor going to be ready?

oooooohhhhh shiney nice huffer

 

NICE!! Looks awesome...

You didn't mention what engine it's going to sit in, though.

 

It'll be sitting on a boring ol' 354 hemi. I'd hoped to get the block filled this weekend but it didn't happen. Maybe this week. I'd like to have a running engine in July.

 

There we go!!

 

She's a beaut Clark!!

 

So Kerry, your gonna fire it, what, in a couple weeks? I'll come over for the fire-up. Let me know on those cables. Lippy

 

Yeah Kevin, same guy. His number is (316)393-1105 if'n any of you want to get ahold of him.
If only it were so Lippy. I've still got some pricey parts to get and machine work do yet. Don't worry, I'll keep you guys posted.

 

Looks killer Kerry, any shot of the whole thing

 

Lookin' good Billie-Ray...

 

Gary loaned me the blower case in that pic so I could mock up the whole engine.

The trailer will be modified yet too. The cross pieces don't clear when loading and unloading so I'm going to step them down some.

 

OH BABY!! That's a thing of beauty. Nice to see a pic of the whole car also.

Maybe YOU will have to spot ME a carlength.......

-Abone.
