"IT LIVES!!" The 40 is back running & Driving Sort of

Well the new Merc Fladhead is in and running! The motor sounds Awesome, The carbs need some adjusting, running real fat at idle" and I have an issue with the new motor's oil pan protruding down farher than the old pan. I will either need to put a leaf or two back in or change to the old pan Also just had put the rebuild banjo back in about a week ago. Soooo with a few adjustments it should be ready for LSRU this spring!!

NEW PICS ON PAGE 2!!

 

Oh and NO, it won't be hoodless. Just haven't had time to put the new hood on yet.

 

Awesome!!! No driving 50 all the way down there!!!

 

lookin good man

 

nice coupe

 

Damn that's nice. You gotta love 40's

 

Love it!!!



.

 

Looks GREAT man, I love 40's and flatheads!

 

ahhh, leave the hood off for just a day or two, to ride around in a badboy hotrod 40

Mines real rough, and I have no hood yet,,,,but just driving around the parking lot with trips sticking up, makes me frisky.

 

Love the look of your '40.

 

Very nice. I love 40's. Love the air filters also, ran them on my 32 years ago
with 6 97's.

 

Thanks Guys, I really love this car. A few bugs to work out but I see the light at the end of the tunnel

 

Good news bro, nuthin worse than havin the ol hot rod with a busted mill. The flattie looks great with those spark-o-matic filters, groovy! Drive it like ya stole it! ~sololobo~

 

Holy **** that looks good. Nice job on the flatty, just the right amount of bling. Hope to see you at LSRU. Gary

 

Good for you!! I'm glad somebody is using the winter down to do something constructive!! I just can't seem to get motivated!!

 

Looking great! Now the real fun begins...

 

Hey congrats on lighting her off. Always a good motivator when you get a new motor going. I really dig the black & gold wheel combo, very sharp.

BTW: Those air cleaners look MEAN. What are they?

 

Don't understand why so many like the 40's. Humm!
Is the pan lower than the front axle? Sure looks right the way it sits.

 

Love it!

 

Looks great, lets get the two coupes together in Dewey this summer.

 

Sweet!

 

can't wait to see it in person at LSRU.

 

A 40 with a flathead.....LOVE IT!

 

Man, I love your car! Very nice!

 

Good for you !!
Looks awesome.
Now get out and enjoy.
Cheers........

 

Thanks Gary! You driving yours down this year??

 

Thanks, I think I got them from OBT.

 

The front of the new pan if 1 inch directly above the axle

 

Thanks, Sounds like a plan!

 

Very cool...
