Those exhaust manifolds are gorgeous! I've never seen/ heard of them but they're beautiful Any more history on them?
That is one nice job you are doing on that little truck. Mark me down as another who likes that engine color.
Thx. Manifolds are rare and obscure, from my understanding they came on some European military vehicles and English Ford Pilot cars. /ATTACH] Pretty much a cast iron header and symmetrical side . I was desperate for a set and took what I could get as by design they are very prone to corrosion and cracking. We spent HOURS fixing this set as one was broken in two and the other hanging together by a thread. Sorry I'm just learning to use the mobile HAMB Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Damm Jason, Its finally coming together!!!!! Good to see!!!! All the RIGHT parts in the build I like the tire size choice!!
I am using a '39 generator and fan with trimmed down blades. Generator rebuilt and converted to 12v by Rusty at Speedometer Service of CO and destroyed by FedEx in shipping then repaired by Rusty at Speedometer Service. I am desperate for a clean '39 generator pulley. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
