Technical *** July 2015 Banger Meet - Heating Up ***

sounds like to much work / to late . good luck

 

Thanks for the encouragement!

I have a chassis builder 2 doors up from me that already said he would make the necessary mods to the radiator on monday. Less than a mile away from me is a amazing machinist that turns small stuff around for me is 1 to 2 days. Brattons is less than 2 miles from the house as well so anything I need in a short period of time I have covered. The last pieces I need for the build to be up and running are a fuel tank and a floor section so I think my deadline can be reached easily. Besides it doesn't have to be 100% complete as I understand it.

 

145 mile road trip today!!!!

 

bcchopit , what no chains ?? nice looking day for the east

 

Thanks for the encouragement! ............ no harm intended , but be safe in this hurry up project . we have all burned the mid-nite oil . I have also been there & made the errors .......... just humor my friend ... steve

 

No chains just grooved back tires.....

 

This is my solution.

 

Bill,
Where did your trip take you?

 

apparently the salt is not going to happen again this year . bummer for the salt guys ........

 

Pretty much.
Time to start taking the "T" apart and build a frame.

Interesting piece on the Roof OHV for Model A's. Roof's grandson was at the Speedster Reunion.

Who is going to be in Georgetown for the Hot Rod Hill Climb in a couple of weeks?

 

We'll be in Georgetown for the third year in a row.

 

Looking forward to this event. Hope to have my coupe for next year. I will be sure to stop and say hello.

Ok, can I ask what this banger is? It has a casting in the block 3-12-51, Lucas distributor, zenith down draft carb, fires 1342. The owner thinks it's English, Prefect? Pilot? What are the trans options, capacity, physical size compared to an A banger. Any good/bad pionts, anyone put one in an A model before?

 

Maybe Willys???
