Hey cody where's them linkage pics???

 

Haha chad , I'm actually out in the garage now polishing stainless moldings as soon as I get a chance to get to the regular computer an up load some pics I will

 

Nothing to major today guys , just finished up the choke linkage and started preping the motor for paint ,

 

cool i cant wait to see some pictures

the update is up , the update is up,

 

Love the complexity shown in that shot of the linkages. You should post a video of that in action. It might be harder to capture from that angle once the engine's installed.

 

I saw this post before, did you change your Screen Name? A couple years ago you were at Jalopy Showdown.

 

when I get some time ill shoot a video, onces it all installed and the heat shild is on most of the linkage will be hidden, I didn't want to run a heat shild but I have too ,the fuel bowl get way too hot ,

Yah I changed it to my actuall name a while ago , I fugared it was more Suiting yah I usually make it up to the showdown ,

 

Cody, had computor problems for a week, just wanted to jump on and say HI....Jim

 

so i spent the day sanding all the nooks and cranny of this thing .


but on the upside of things its ready for paint

 

That's a lot of nooks and crannies, but will pay off in the end, nice job....Jim

 

Yah it is Jim ,, thanks again

 

You got nubs now?

 

If you don't mind me asking, what types of "tools" do you use to smooth out the block? Is it just sandpaper roles and such or do you have to get out something more aggressive???

btw, I love the work you've done on your wagon.

 

Just an angle grinds with a bunch of different grit roll lock Wheels and a carbide deburring tool

Oh and a lot of time and Patients

 

Yep lol

 

Badass!!

 

Yep lol

 

Looking good Cody!

 

Thanks guys

Thanks , me too I think it will set the dark green engine block off
