Projects The Sachem Special; a little 'T and A' for the ROG

OK so your next project should honor fermented beverage. The pilgrims landed where they did because the ran out of beer. Beer being sterile, and not spoiling and fouling like water, was important aboard ship. So they landed, went ashore looking for some grain and fresh water to make more beer. Your doubters can look it up.

Nice project by the way. Don't forget to double check your fuel line before you hit the beach. And what's up with the Mopar next to the T?

 

Willy, I'm going to name my next Gow Job the "John Alden ordinary" and tear up the cart paths of "Olde Plimoth Plantation" while wearing a Pilgrim hat.....

 

Man....She looks SWEET!!!!!!!!! Love the Indian head and the yellow......You did a great job!!!!

 

Greg- I plan to get over there soon and consume some "fermented beverages" while working on his son's 50. I'll build and install a manifold, get it to run and drive, then kick him in the butt!

 

Great job!

 

Wow!!!! Mark your doing an awesome job. Absolutely nailed it and with Moose speed equipment your sure to win!

 

I love this thing!!! so much-
The indian head really makes it- when this ages a bit its really going to look the part-

It's looking great, and with the new motor it should run just as good as it looks

 

looks awesome mark!

 

Me Like^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

That looks great!!!

 

Dig the tommyhawk

 

Haha that's funny! We got ours fired off on Saturday. Ours was running like shit too until we discovered the wide open hole in the intake! It ran a little better without the huge vacuum leak!

 

What did you do, stay home sick today so you could play in the garage?

 

lookin good mark!

 

When I was cleaning out my (soon to be new shop) grandfathers old pole barn I found a little tomahawk- its so damn cool.... and I was fiddling around with it and cut myself... Its still razor sharp. Its the kind you would throw at a tree or something- really well balanced. Seeing one turned into a plate RULES- there is so many cool little details.

I really dig this build gow-

The first model A I ever chopped was a sedan that was cut down into a pickup- I got the banger running and drove it all around the farm between my our house and my grandparents... I think I wacked 7" out of the roof... haha- way too much.... but it looked SO COOL. - old engines- don't care what they are RULE.

The whole TROG thing in general is a great idea- wish I was in a position to even attend as a spectator. Really inspiring!

 

Dig the engine turning! Wire brush, huh. Might be a good 'tech' thread! The over-the-counter stainless & aluminum engine turned sheets are gorgeous, but just a hair too perfect IMO.

 

Sounds good!

 

It sounds like the clutch plate has rusted to the flywheel. In the past I have put the rear of the car on jack stands and run the motor in top gear then hit the brakes while depressing the clutch pedal. Its worked a couple times (and also not worked a couple).
