Projects Aarons 29 AV8 coupe build

Hi Mike, you won’t have any problems rebuilding one of these. Once you get into it, you’ll find its pretty basic stuff.

Great job with the video, Aaron, and thanks again for taking the time to produce them.
Your building up quite a reference library! These videos show details of a project, which probably help those of us who may even be too intimidated to begin! Please keep producing them.

 

Thanks Greaser.
Moving along to the motor now. I'm going to try my hand at porting the block. I have the Tardel/Bishop Flathead book and the Thacker/Herman Flathead book for reference. I hope I don't F up the block! Haha.

 

Been working on the Coupe pretty steady. I have learned I don't like doing porting work, haha!

 

Aaron,

Thank you for taking the time and effort to film these videos. They are very informative and I always look forward to your updates.

Thanks,

Brian

 

Thanks Brian.

Another informative post! On your front brakes, do you have part #s for the soft lines? Did you ask for F1 lines or more modern truck lines?

 

Napa 5784 $13.99 I just asked for 1950 F1 brake hoses

Alright! Took care of all the stuff involved in prepping the crank. First I used drill bits by hand to clean all oil passages, then used stainless steel brushes and parts cleaner to scrub the passages, followed that up spraying the passages with brake cleaner. I installed the four threaded plugs with Loctite, then staked them in two places each. Wiped down the whole thing with preservative oil and wrapped a plastic bag around it to keep it clean and safe. I still have to press on the gear, slinger, and sleeve, but that will have to wait.

 

Thanks for the info!

 

More engine assembly prep stuff.

 

Shits getting serious now

I leveled the head and poured metal rescue rust remover in. I’ll let it soak overnight and see how it works.

Looks really great! That metal rescue stuff works awesome. I always put my carb parts in it

 

Started working on the fuel tank mounting and the firewall.

 

@Austin kays if you haven’t read and watched all these videos yet get on it! One of the best threads on building a traditional car in years!

 

Again a great job on the Fire wall!! Thanks for the detailed build Video looking Great!
George

 

Agreed

 

Thanks Tim, George, and WTF.
Aww, you guys make me blush.

 

Need to find time to get caught up! Always love your videos, they help me understand how things go together so much better than just photos!

 

As always, thank you for recording your progress. Very helpful for the rest of us.

 

Thanks Brian and Tim.
Doing a little work on the rear of the car while waiting for my motor to come back from the machine shop.

 

A little more progress. Some work on the fuel tank and more painting.

 

Verify cool

 

I've been watching your updates for several months now. I've gotta admit you gave me motivation to go out to the barn and get started on my own car, Thank you!
