Projects Cadillac Flathead FED Build- The FlatCad Too!

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Thanks again to all of the votes and support!

The votes count for 33% of the total 'value' Champion places on the entry. The rankings were based on video views, so it's hard to guess how the views correlated to votes.

Champion will announce the 15 finalist on Feb.18. Thanks to all of YOU, I feel our chances are good.

Regardless of the outcome, we owe a HUGE part of our success and fun to all of you, for the support and encouragement you have provided us.

Thanks again!

Hope you guys make it, good luck

 

i didn't view the video didn't know it counted! good luck

 

Sort of a CS way to do it. How many people voted every day, but only watched the video once. They should let you know up front how they are scoring. Would have made a big difference.

Looks good Randy, I sent the pics you wanted last nite, Thought more about your thoughts on raising the top rail for clearance ,might get in the way of the header on that side,, Hope the pics help, give me a call if you need better ones, Tim Jones

 

Thanks Tim for the pics just what I needed by the way I don't have to worry bout header clearance this is a caddy motor

Any updates???

 

I want one.......

 

Explain hose clamp engine mounts in depth, please. (Ivo used them on his Hemi rail)

 

Mike here's a closeup of my rear mount the front is a welded tab on the top rail The hose clamp Randy is talking about is called a T- clamp, I don't have mine on yet ,,,I'll shoot some better pics after work tonight,, Tim Jones

 

Here's a couple better pics, the front motor mounts tab is welded to the frame, the rear is a saddle type that sits on the frame ,the underside has a saddle welded solid to keep it in place , There will be T-Clamps wrapping around the saddle mount and frame rail on both sides , Tim Jones

 

like it Tim, lookin good!!!

updates Randy????..........

 

Here's a pic of the T clamps Randy,, Tim Jones

 

Thanks Tim that's what I picked up the other day hopefully I can get back on this thing next week life has gotten in the way recently

Basically, that type of mount will work fine.
That one in particular has several bad engineering faults.
