Car looks good! Crazy days/nights moving... I went through that recently. Sounds like a good thing for you though. Good luck!
Great to hear from you, Aaron. Glad all went well with the move, and congrats on your retirement! Looking forward to your updates.
Hi Aaron, Could you give me some details on the fan set up/ I have a 8ba eng that I am using early water pumps and heads on, with a 3 carb intake. I need a set up similar to yours. Great work.Glad you're setteled. jim
Hi Jim, I cut the original fan mount and used the part that holds the fan shaft. I then welded a plate to the part. I set the fan as low as possible, then drilled the mounting hole. I will probably add a couple gussets for strength before I paint it. Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.

Glad to hear the move went smoothly. I'm amazed that you are up and running so quickly after a such a major life event. Congratulations on the retirement!! Brian B
Thanks Walt and Brian. Here is how I put my steering components together. Hope it sheds some light on some of the components.
Still really liking the video updates! Not knocking the rest of the build threads but the videos just provide so much detail. Thanks for taking the time to make and edit them!
Hi Aaron: nice job! Quick question- What was the issue with the cam bearings?? Wrong bearings or issue w/ the block?? Keep up the great work Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Like your taillights. I used the same ones on a vintage style teardrop trailer I built for my brother. You might want to paint the inside of the housing white as they aren’t real bright in the daylight sometimes. (Supposedly white is brighter than silver which is what I used.) I’m jealous of the old lens, too.
Hi Davey, the machinist told me he found a burr on the rear bearing. He said he burnished the burr out. The cam turned freely when I got it back from him.
Alright guys, getting some of the smaller but necessary things done. Next will be the engine reinstalled.
Looking good !! Tank and connections came out super clean.. Thanks for the videos great learning experience..
Thanks guys. Today I put the motor back in and worked on fabricating an adjustable clutch pedal return stop. Little steps forward! Aaron
Lengthened and bent to fit the 1939 torque rods and finished up the clutch pedal return stop. Sent from my iPhone using H.A.M.B.
