    Look at the number of VIEWS you get that is the best way to keep track of people actually looking at your posts.

    Messing with the ‘Okie Coupe’ (formerly known as ‘Dusty’) until I get my cam so I can finish the ‘Ratty’ engine. 5660EA3E-F718-4E2D-9DB4-0D18C0492ECA.jpeg

  11. With over 74000 views this morning I would say quite a few are following along although many may be silent.

    Still waiting on the cam so I’m tackling a few different projects. 2FF86052-D406-48E7-B48B-C478421FDF4E.jpeg
     
  13. Ugh! Body work, hate it. Had enough on my 31 to last me for a lifetime.:rolleyes:
    So, what was the anticipated ETA on that cam?

    Yeah, I’m new to body work. I guess we’ll see how this turns out. I’m hoping to see the cam within the next couple of weeks. I’m doing lots of other projects in the meantime. Generator 12v conversion, getting the Okie Coupe road worthy, rear tube shocks and some body work on Ratty the Roadster, and still gathering parts for an AV8 build.

  15. Well, sounds like you have enough to keep you from becoming a couch potatoe:). What are you lacking on the V8 build?

    I’m staying pretty busy. Also work and honey do’s play in there. Time with the boys…

    as far as the AV8 build goes… No solid plan yet. I’m determined to keep Ratty a rusty banger. TROG style. I am still not certain what I am going to do with the Okie Coupe. Do I Hot Rod it? Chop it? AV8 it? Just get it road worthy, drive it for awhile, and then sell it?
    I have a couple of flathead V8s now. I have enough v8 transmissions to build up another 39 style top loader. I have most of the parts for juice brakes minus the master cylinder. I have a 40 rear end with hubs and drums and front spindles, hubs, and drums. I have not decided on what car I want to AV8. I still need an F1 cross member and steering column/box. Need a V8 radiator and grill shell. Probably some other things I’m forgetting.

  17. You're in deep now. No turning back. You are a confirmed die-hard hot-rodder. Might as well 'fess up to the addiction...Don.:D;)

    No cam yet… unfortunately, I have been so busy lately that I am really not as ready for it as I should be anyway. Still, I am pretty excited to get the roadster project back on track. This delay has given me too much time to dream about other hot rod mods… quick change rear ends, vintage down drafts intakes, headers, overhead valve conversions, other carb options… :)
     
  21. Oh boy, too much dream time can't be good for the wallet:rolleyes:

    No. I’m not sure what to use. First time I have ever replaced a cam. I have some assembly lube I was planning to use. Will that work?
