This is the head, it punked out the chamber into the water jacket, and can only guess thats what made the freeze plug spit out.........Littleman
I may have floated the valve ? Sometimes having fun cost money ....he he he, sure it hurts but it happens...I may have done something wrong putting it together years ago ? I really have no idea..........But the car was fun to drive , so I will chalk this up as a kick ass memory...Littleman
It mangled the piston top, which is fixable.most importantly no apparent cylinder wall damage................Littleman
Real soon, I was going to pull this one, some of the parts need to be used on the fresh one, like the timing cover and dizzy.I will clean this one up and bag it and go back to it when I have the extra cash to deal with it....Littleman
The Coupe drove fine, it stopped fine...................and I must be part nuts to put the new engine in it.the one I just hurt was more than enough power for it..........................but it would not be a hotrod unless I bolt in the badest thing I have..................so soon we will find out and I will video the start................................Vrooooom........Littleman
been fun watching this one come together very much an over the top build I hope Dave continues to post his updates here I will update this this thread as he does as noted in the lead post I have copied this thread to the Tech Archives for future reference. thanks for sharing Dave!!
This thing has so much inspiration for me. It makes me get out in the garage everytime I see it. I love it. Thanks littleman.
I just caught this thread, and after reading it, have to ask the same. That's just plain bad ass. Thanks for sharing! I hope you aren't in the section of Ohio getting all the rain! Jay
I guess some people will now see why I got pissed when J. Shine treated Littleman with no respect on that stupid show. Littleman is a hell of a craftsman and does it for the love of it and has a God given talent. Shine...I can't respect him...just a mouth with a crooked hat and chincy goatie. Go Littleman you rule....and I want a t shirt with the DDS on it!!
ya buddy Im glad this got brought up searched for it once with no luck, but Im unlucky this coupe rules nice work littleman
i agree too.... best thread ever....... littleman should change his name to THE MAN !!! both this car & the truck are insane & the fab work is perfect
Littleman should have his own t.v. show. Just don't call it Littleman, too close to "Little people"! Tivo would get all confused n' shit !
Awesome thread that baby is built Structural Integrity Excellent * Choice Work * is Littleman spelled da Vinci
Wow,that was amazing!Carried along on the awesome build up,the rod itself looks righteous;then the whole step dad bit,then falibility as the genious stumbles and Murphy treads all over the job in his size 12 hob nails!Greatest thread ever?You betcha!!
This Coupe is the Barries, you do awsome work the kind most of us only do in our minds,great job and hope to meet you one day and see this or any of your rides in person.
