    Had a bit of time today to clean and run taps through my Offy intake. Got a couple of 97s from my pal Mr. Bowling. Mocked them up. I need to make up the linkage between the two but I have all winter to sort it out.[​IMG]

  8. That's going to look great. What are your plans for air cleaners?
    I'm going to be getting a 50 flat head next week. My friend Charlie thinks it has a worn lob on the cam. If that's the only thing I'll be very happy

    Nice biggeorge! Hope that flattie is ready to go. I have some hand-me-down air cleaners from Camsnapper president Jere Sheehan. They were on his "swinger" 34 roadster.

    So, 3 days ago I posted a pic of my 2 pot intake. Greaser pm'd me and said he had spare carbs and parts to complete my broken air horn on one of my carbs. I hadn't even noticed that! He sent me this. Old chromed top to boot! Thank you sir, people on this site are the greatest![​IMG]

    Pic at Ronnies a couple of weeks ago............ DSCN3629.JPG
    That intake is supposed to give good fuel distribution with the carb centers at 9 1/8 " ( I think!) Talk to Nils about making up a generator that will fit- I think he made up a "shorty" for his roadster.

    We never do things like that for ourselves ... so I figured I’d do it for ya.

    Enjoy, Ronnie.

    Wintertime is car building time.
    I need to fix up the body in the roadster before the spring. I decided to start in the back. The trunk was rotted out real bad. Sloppy Jalopies had a trunk lid laying in his back yard, he gave it to me. Well, the inner panel (mostly) is better than mine so I spliced them together today. Some more welding to do but it is way better than before. [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    That was from a flip phone. I have since gotten up to date (for the most part)

    Maybe he means he’s up-to-date on his tetanus working with all the rusty metal. ‍♂️
