Hot Rods Save of the day!!(single seater)

I just picked up two 5’ pieces of marsden mat for ramps so It should be ready to go by this weekend. Took a bunch of rustolium I had laying around and threw it all together and came up with this ugly mauve color but what the hell the metal is protected. Good theft deterrent no one in there right mind would steal a mauve trailer! Hahahaha!!!!!

 

Looks great!

 

That PSP is all over the Philippians left over from WWII they use it for fencing

 

Just found this and read through the whole thing. Funky little project. Looks like you are having a blast.

 

Thanks, it’s been fun and somewhat affordable.

 

If it's like mine, 60 is plenty fun.

 

@rusty rocket you have now arrived..................

 

Haha! I know Right!

 

Lights and fenders not required on the trailer?

 

42 pages and your still playing with old trailers lol.

they both look awesome

 

I've followed from the beginning. The car and now the trailer are just f###ing awesome! Well done!

 

Lights yes, fenders I’m not going to put them on until someone tells me to.

 

Took the car up to the local short track in Sturgis S.d. To help pack the track. I did a few hot laps at intermission although I would call it warm laps because I wasn’t going fast enough to be considered hot laps. Hahaha! p

 

Looks good on the track. Were you able to hang the back end out a bit?

 

It felt like it but if it did it wasn’t much. I didn’t want to spin or worst hit the wall in front of a crowd. I did get a video sent to me but I don’t have a way to load it on the H.A.M.B.

 

Better tape up them lights!

 

Highboy Trailer, I'd L' Do...

Glad you're having fun with it...I bet those Racers didn't see dual duty as yours is...

 

What a score today! A few weeks ago I ran into an older hotrodder I know. He said I had to come up to his place because he had something I could probably use. So this morning I ran up and paid him a visit. This is what he had for me! So I’m really jazzed when I see this finned head and I ask him what he wants for it but he doesn’t give me a number but says let’s look around at his cars and parts. After about an hour and a half of looking at some really kool shit I ask him again and he says it yours I’ve had it for almost fifty years and I want to see it on a motor and not on a shelf! GOD DAMN I’m a lucky bastard today! Thank Kenny!

 

You lucky bugger! You must be livin right.
Cheers,
Stewart.

 

Hope it's a good one. Mine leaked like aseive between the fines. Guess they had qc problems. You can test it by mixing up some colored water or dish soap and water, filing the head duct taping the waterpassage holes and temp gauge fitting then petting your compresses air gen at about 5 psi to the heater supply, and watching for colored water or bubbles. It worth doing before installing. Mine with the failed repairs hangs on my wall. Wishing good luck, don't mean to pee on your wheeties, but check it. I got mine with a Fenton intake, trans, Genny, starter, voltage regulator, a couple of wheels and some trim pieces for 500 bucks 15 years ago.

 

Thanks for the heads up I’ll do that

 

Awesome! A perfect addition!

 

Did about 20 minutes on the polisher for the top side and a few hours with a wire brush and sandpaper on the bottom side getting the carbon off. All threads have been chased and pipe plugs installed just waiting for my head gasket to show up.

 

That'll doll her up some. Lucky score.

 

Lovely!

 

It’s alive again. Got it fired last night ran it for about 10 minutes to build some heat and check for leaks. Tonight I will run thru the head bolts and
re torque.
Can’t wait for a warm day so I can go out for a test drive and see if the head actually added a bit of poop or if it’s just eye candy.

 

... @rusty rocket, I hope you had the plug in when you ran it...looks pretty smart...

 

Damn maybe that’s why it was missing? No I took the plug with me so I can look for a longer one after work

 

Either way it was worth it.

 

Now for a winter project, go back to post 123 on page 5.
