Technical *** December 2015 Banger Meet - Naughty but good at it ***

Bluto that is good news. Merry Christmas

 

Am traveling on business and spent the night in Springfield, Illinois at the Rt.66 Hotel. This guy was in the lobby.

 

Wow! you don't see many A400s.

 

jimski , it is close . im glad your still here ! merry Christmas to you & "Z"

 

I was trying to envision what it would look like as a high boy and V8 .... It has a cheap paint job you know the kind where masking tape wasn't in the budget, but is pretty complete.
Mostly original interior.

 

That's great to hear, Jim!!!

 

Bluto you and me both ! How is the Hal project going Its one project that interests me a lot. I know it it time consuming but the end resault will be well worth the effort.

 

Getting over the triple bypass is taking too much of my time. Plus the Dr's just don't want me picking up anything heavy yet.

 

jimski , take care as the doc says . we want you around for awhile . don't scare "Z" ...........

 

V4F
Z keeps him taking his meds on time, and getting proper rest. She is Jimski's guardian Angel

bluto take care the hal can wait nice to know you have a project waiting your job at the moment is keeping us inline andadviseing us when we are going off track, we need you here.

 

no doubt . fastest girl in Poland !

 

Built a header and ehaust for this thing

 

Going to get it coated black hopefully in the new year some time

 

I am still getting things together for Z's Topolino roadster. The motor is less than 45cid. I posted a photo of the Siata OHV conversion head here a couple months ago....... Motor is 11 inches long. I have the entire kit but I will make my own exhaust. I am looking for a DW supercharger or may use one from a Subaru ........
This is all rare stuff that should net me around 50HP!

Biggest deal is getting a billet crank and someone to make 52mm forged pistons

 

The kit



Most everything else must be hand made

 

Nice looking roadster and Banger.

 

jimski you have the coolest projects . stay healthy my friend ............ steve

 

Good to hear your still at it Jim !!!!!
My dad just had a 6 way bypass, I have seen your pain. Keep up the battle.

.

 

Thank you guys building stuff seems like my entire life
At least since age 12 or so.
Like many people here I am happiest when sitting at my workbench or designing parts. This work has taken me all over the world to drive to race and enjoy the people, cars and history

 

Good to see Bluto those little motors can be just as much fun as any thing else Jilly has a spare model Y Ford tudor and I am trying to find an OHV conversion for it we may try and build a sleeper from it leave the body as is but work on the mechanicals its just a tiny B motor really.

 

OHV conversions were not made is numbers like the big Ford stuff.

There might be a dozen of these Siata heads still around. I found this one here in Poland.

This is only the beginning. Many things are needed to keep this little engine from from exploding!

It's more like watch making, really

 

Bluto it will be a fun grocery getter for Mrs Bluto

 

Hill climber

 

Glad to hear that!

 

I went for a short drive and made a small video with my phone.
I wasn't driving with one hand! (not me!) Haha
Oh, I also didn't drive her real hard but notice the speedo showed around 70 when I slowed down!

 

You had sun today? All we got was clouds, wind and rain!! The beginning of that video must be driving north? I think I'm under all those clouds
Sounds great I can't wait to give you my E ticket so I can go for a ride!!!

 

Yeah, it was nice and even warm today until around 2:00 pm.

 

Posted this on the main forum, but decided that it would be better understood here.

Video of my friend's gennie 32 with Cragar OHV B, LZ geared B tranny, and a 3:78 geared 32 rear. 130 HP;
pulls 2nd up to 50, climbs hills in 3rd, runs easily at 70.
We were running on the Nachez Trace Pkwy. Turn up the music.

 

The sound does not work when watching on my iPad, can you post on YouTube?
