Projects My AV8 flathead build.. blown...

Awesome little car !!

 

Radiator is finally welded. Thanks John!

 

looks nice----i have be-utiful flowers all over my grass too---lol

 

looks awesome

 

great ride,very jelous ha

 

The magic question is.. Did you push it onto the grass or drive it there?

 

Damn I hoped no one was gonna ask that. ! I pushed it......... . Just for now. Lol

 

No worries.. You're flying on this one! You'll be driving it before you know it.

 

I did get the carbs cleaned and fresh gaskets to seal them up good .. Still working on pedal brackets . I'm really hoping to be able to run it soon

 

Had the water tunes bent up today out of stainless. Also finally got my pedals all mounted. Still need to heat and bend the stems just a hair. But they fit great

 

I think these super chargers had a inter cooler. Will you hook up the cooling lines?

 

First time I've viewed your thread, HRH. And the first time I've ever seen a generator driven off the supercharger like that. Neat! Best wishes with the rest of your build.

 

No I'm not going to. It says right in the factory documentation that its for colder weather to heat the intake air. I'm not worried about it. It's never gonna run in colder weather

 

as i said before i need to trim my fan down an inch... so to ensure that all four blades get done equally, or as close to it as possible, i made these stick on templates that fit the end curve of the blade, and give me the new curve approx an inch lower. this wil make everything fit nice in between the rad hoses.

 

Looks good my friend,

 

I managed to get the fan cut down and put on. Also heated and tweaked the pedals as best as I can to fit the car comfortably.. I also got the exhaust welded up and I heated and dimpled the fire wall behind the fuel pump stand for a lil more clearance. Installed a high volume fuel pump also. Making progress

 

WOW this is coming along so well! Won't be long now.

 

PLEASE! Post a video of the motor running.. it has got to sound cool! Love the build!

 

X2 for sure

 

im hoping friday after work she will be ready to fire. i know im pretty damn excited about it. its been a fin projecto so far. cant wait to drive it and take it to some local cruise ins... alot of guys locally never see a flathead actually on the road. atleast thats the comments i always get

 

It's alive and running. Will post several videos tomorrow. Here are a few pics... Got alot done today .engine seems to run hot even with the fan . I need to put restrictive plates in since I'm not running thermostats

 

WoW! Very nice!!

Embedded them for you.

Man this car is coming out great! I love the supercharger!!!

 

It's Aliiiive!

Nice job.

Mart.

 

Car looks and starting to sound great!

An ol' flathead roundyround racer I visit at his shop occasional, told me they used to run the 37 block with the waterpumps in the block, then flip the early heads (left-right) so the outlets are in the back of the block, to increase flow to the back cylinders and block. It would require someone to cut up the firewall, which you aren't doing. Just some useless information. :]'

Anyway, nice car and build.

 

Saxon. That makes alot of sense. It seems mine with a four core radiator still gets hot after a while of running in the garage
