So not long after the flathead run i broke an oil line and spun a bearing in my new motor. I did get my wheels powder coated. Today i picked up another 8ba to swap in the car and get me back on the road. I got it for a god deal and it looks super nice inside and has adjustable lifters.
Oh man, that sucks about your flathead ! Good to hear that you found another, but damn ... That sucks
Yeah man it bummed me out pretty bad. It actually happened months ago and I have not touched it since. so the new motor will t least make me get off my ass.
Something like that will certainly take the wind out of your sails. I can totally understand that feeling.
so I sold the shoebox day before yesterday. It is going to a great home and I bought a car I did not think I would ever own. 1941 mercury convertible!
yes I have recast merc acc wheel for sale.$3500 with out core..i also have a couple cores. BTW very nice choice tor the 51 ford cpe..
plans are a color change asap and drive it and enjoy it for a while. I sold the car a year ago. about a month ago I traded and got it back.
so I am slowly going back through my thread and fixing the photobucket garbage. but I thought I would ad some new stuff. I have been collecting parts and slowly getting things done. cal-custom trunk latch 20170910_184424 by glendale2004, on Flickr k wheel 20170920_165938 by glendale2004, on Flickr I had my intake polished and started going through my carbs. 20171020_152509 by glendale2004, on Flickr grace and co aircleaner 20171027_160214 by glendale2004, on Flickr 20171027_163521 by glendale2004, on Flickr 20171027_163539 by glendale2004, on Flickr
