I saw the most beautifull engine ever at Rømø. [ATTACH]
We've been there last weekend, was a great one :)
Love this build! As others said, the 6 inch drop was scary at first but you made it look great! I came to this post as I was thinking about an m40...
I know this is an old post but I can't see the pictures in the original post. Is this possible to recreate??
Maybe it has been rebuild at some point and never used again. I will be taking it apart to check it. And put in the merc crank and strengtened...
[ATTACH] He guys. Took off the intake from the 59a. When I was reading the books I hoped mine looked better. What do you think? I was happily...
That looks great!!
Real results won't come in till next year. Just collecting parts and planning for now :-)
Well.... I bought the 4 inch merc crank with rods. Good condition. Minor machining. Set me back 600 dollar. And I'm not looking for top...
No. You're right. Engine has to move backward. But the body might need to move forward too. I think the radiator will be some base in mocking...
Also. What should a good 4" merc crank with rods cost? What are the prices of that?
I read Joe Abbins book and the feeling for using an 8ba style crank and rods creeped up on me. Mainly because the free floating main bearing and...
I figured that one out. But how about the stock 59a connecting rods? I have the books here, didn't read ot all but I haven't found that. It will...
I love the 5 window cars more than 3 window, so I will stick to the 5 window :-)
Thanks for the replies. I found the hanomag pictures, was a good looking car I think. But it's been destroyed now so I don't feel guilty making...
Today I picked up the car. It turns out to be a body off an hanomag kurier.1935 or something like that. The thing is pretty cut up by the previous...
We heard that before :-)
Wow, what a build. I hope my girlfriend will never read this. She will constantly say, that guy is just like you. Never sticking to one project...
Ok. So I found it on amazon.com. Ordered both the books, seems like a good starting point.
Body is something euro. But with some nice lines. And the c-pilar hanging over the wheel well is the reason why I will be cutting back the door so...
Can't find your book, will this book do the job?
200hp is not a hard figure. I will be throwing some stuff together and see what will come out. As long as the bottom end won't break so will do...
Helli guys, a little engine question. There is 59 stamped on the block, 59a on the heads. So I suppose its a 59a engine. As I can see this is a...
Thanks guys, what a welcome. Body will be more modified than it is now. Alltough it will never be an original, it is steel and I hope it needs a...
Hello guys, I am Willem and come from The Netherlands. I just bought me a 36 chassis with title, axles and engine. Theres a body on it which...
