There has got to be several like minded guys like you on "treasure island" , Jeremy is one that comes to mind. There are so many cool places to...
Nice work ! Looks fantastic!
I love it! I'm a bit biased though. I am working on the same only not quite as cherry. Keep us posted.
Wow , I replied to this 14+ years ago. Here's a recent manifold I cast last summer for a GMC 302.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Can you tweak the exhaust a bit? It looks like you could squeeze a bit more clearance for airflow . I hate the look of "bodged" heat shields. I've...
I ordered a kit with a neoprene float and gaskets for modern fuel . Believe it or not the cork float still worked and was mostly intact.
I want to rebuild the fuel gauge on my 28 RPU. I checked the tank for leaks and the only place that weeped a bit was the bezel on the fuel gauge....
A 40 Ford steering wheel showed up and went straight on the column [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] I think I've got the column shift sorted out. I flipped the shift arm to the left side and made up the linkage. It actually...
That's the one! It came to me in a convoluted trade, sellers remorse, buyback , need money sell again deal
Yeah , it's pretty easy to move the shifter from right to left. I've got enough room between the handle and door to try it....why not?

A little bit more of the mockup. I made a column drop piece like the Limeworks one , only I cut a hole for the shift shaft to go through. It's...
I like the idea of slamming down for the 1-2 shift , but I've been shifting for 45 years with my right hand and it already knows what to do. I...

I modified a later rear trans mount that had one ear broken off then brazed back on. I cut the ears off and turned it down to fit into the 32...
I cast the inserts and installed SW gauges. Speedometer is a 1954 ford[ATTACH]
Indeed!
Making some progress. I stripped the frame down to the nitty-gritty. Slicing and dicing a 32 cross member and pedals and some crack repairs on...
It's Saturday night , isn’t this supposed to be the drinking game? " never have I ever drag raced on the street" .........EVERYBODY DRINK!
Try tightening the intake, they have a habit of loosening and causing a vacuum leak. You might have a lean condition problem.
Or balanced by the new guy .......I've seen some tires with wheel weights all around the rim like that
So , that's not really fuel it's raw electricity. When the electricity is flowing it changes to smoke. If you can keep the smoke in the wires , no...
Yeah , I want to keep it as is on the outside except for a few small repairs.
I picked this up about a month ago... [ATTACH]
It is in pretty good shape too. The detents are tight and there isn't any slop.
I mixed about 5 pounds citric to 25 or 30 gallons of water in a plastic 55 gallon drum.
I'm at the part gathering stage of my RPU build. I picked up a transmission for mockup. The guy I got it from thought that it was no good,...
