Show your cool finned aluminum parts

Wow!! Those are some seriously finned wheels. I respect whoever thought them up and made them but they also scare me a bit. I can see them on the right custom that's been shaved down to a basic jellybean and needs the unique twist of these wheels. I trust somebody will do them justice. So different!?!

 

They would look cool on a Buick.....

 

No, that's something you hang on a garage wall and just talk about. Cool, but kind of hard to look at in the context of an actual car. Also... cleaning.

 

Here's a VC cast by Tom Lowe. It's got clearance for roller setup. I had him machine back some of the fins to allow filler and PCV to sit flush. Those were made to spec for me by @dickster27.









And matching side covers

 

Are you having a “Yard Sale”?

 

Springfield Mo swap meet.

 

For a SBC and WCFB Carbs. (for sale)

Sent from my SM-N950U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

 

Cool.
Then all I would need are the Carbs

 

Not WCFB but....

 

I seen this single for sale for big bucks but have never seen these before

I've been wanting to post this...... but I had to wait for a garage cleanup to find it first.
It's on the way to the sandblaster to even out the filing and sanding of the mold lines. It'll be a tachometer pod; the flange mount is for the dash top mounting. There's a threaded ball and brass thumbscrew to tilt or angle it. Optionally, the clamp is for column mount. How it gets mounted depends on how the rest of the dash comes together.
It had a standard bulb socket inside when I got it. I was told it was originally an outside light fixture on a vintage trailer or motorhome. I think it's got just the right look for my '50 Chevy truck.

 

Love it.

 

This is an original 292 Chevy 6 thermostat housing. Had all the wrong holes in all the wrong places. And, the wrong angle to the radiator.




This is what I fabbed up to replace it.












A bit more detailing to come.
