That is one incredible pic! There is something surreal about it. Like a glimpse into a forgotten memory.
Damn! Mighty Mouse. Had forgotten him. A search for Mickey Mouse & Hotrod, brought me this HAMB thread. The Gumby short is pretty funny....

I purchased a breather from Speedway for my flathead and noticed the steel “wool” inside was coming apart into single short strands. Pulled it off...
I should have mentioned that I picked up this vintage WEN sharpening tool a month or two ago at Value Village for CAN$14. It was missing the foam...
That thing looks so out of place. As a mech Eng, I would have never designed it with a button head type fastener. Also, is the one in the slotted...
Thinking of something along the lines of this to support the copper pipes where they run next to the inner frame rail. Not sure if I would just...
Some very incredible talent. Thanks for sharing!
Came across this thread yesterday after wondering how to cut snd trim some pieces of Gates 90 degree elbows for my speedster project. I actually...
Wow! Haven’t followed this thread for a while, and to see this. You are very fortunate. If you were insured (I’m assuming your speedster was...
Installed/mocked up the trimmed down Gates elbows on the heads and water pumps along with double wire clamps. I’m glad I went with this style of...
Clamps were actually scheduled to come in on the 15th, and they did. So, back into town yesterday. I took the “extra” qty 5 that came in with my...
t Thanks for posting the link. Very informative. He does say that even wth high-speed photography the fuel comes out like “a fire hose” and is not...
Interesting. Reminds me of a guy who slapped a landmower carb on his Ford 302 OT ride. Incredibly, it worked and he also managed over 40 mpg!
Interesting this thread popped up. I have the same compressor but with an original Baldor motor IIRC. It stopped working last week. No fire though...

Made the second “stop” from another piece of test copper. It was already beaded but not expanded, so expanded it, but had to re-bead it. [ATTACH]...
Incredible accomplishment! Do you know if they “aged” castings like that back in the day?
Interesting article about how 3D printing a mold saved a rare Delage. With todays tech, including using 3D scanning with an iPhone, and 3D...

It just occurred to me that I can use my copper pipe test piece to secure my thermostat into position against the outlet neck in the head. The OD...
Finished up expanding and bead rolling all the copper pipes and fittings except the 90 degree one that comes out of the rad. I have to cut away at...
I have a C59A (Canadian) engine. My water passages in the block are slightly different in the middle of the block, but this is the Felpro engine...
Who made the head gasket? If the holes in the gasket don’t match those in the block/head I wouldn’t use it. You might need the mating surface on...
Awesome stuff! We purchased a company located in Bolton back in the 90s that built a rotary vane compressor called Rotovane. I visited the foundry...
Maybe time for an AI query. Lol!
Picked up the silver brazing rod and flux for the copper pipe. Sales guy says to use a number 0 tip. Seems small to me. Also ordered the 6VDC 16”...
