went on with the engine yesterday evening .. made a blower using parts from my partsboxes , looked online for some rough examples of superchargerd flatheads its ment to be a small supercharger like i have seen more on the flathead .. now i found several pics of the poelies and belts .. i already made 2 rods with a large belt on 2 pielies with i tightening poelie .. i found some pics where the set up was a bit like what i did now (below).. 100% accurate ? maybe not but it looks a lot like some of the exampes i saw if somebody thinks noooo thats .. just say so then i filed and sanded a square opening on top of the charger and worked in a carb .. -

well removed my custom trannymount / bracket , that was the issue , took a bit of fideling but now i could use my fancy dremel , never used it for modelbuilding , its great the revs can be set from dead slow to superfast now the engine is sitting lower and thats just way better , also better proportioned now i cut up a old blower house and made a smaller version of that i maybe going to use that as a base for a oldskool blower set up with carbs and stacks , need to look for a example i know a few cool versions , just got to deside whats best overall , so much better proportioned , cant believe i did not realise sooner the engine was sitting too high.. well could have known but when setting the ride hight i wanted to make sure i had enough ground clearance .. a bit to much afterall haha -

thnx thnx and yes do so i'm curious on that yesterday evening i decided to chop the grille and radiator , needed it to dryfit the engine and deside on pullys and drivebelt , and fan work.. the material was so thin i desided only to use the radiator itself and the top of teh grilleshell.. just made the rest myself very rough first draft , need to clean it up , add stuff and make a insde (radiator) seen from the front with the engine , now it so tight space wise .. i managed to get some pully's with a belt on and a fan and i got it to fit .. but its close .. thats due to the steering rod , that needed to go on top because of the way i build the front and the ride hight , but the grille / radiator should go a tiny bit forward .. i think i will try to make the firewall a bit more open so the engine can slide just a tad back also i will make the fan fall inside of teh radiatorshell .. ps.. i could use / make a electric fan but tbh i would rather use a old fashion fan on the engine , i want it to stay more period looking .. -

funny i just was looking at volksrod's yesterday on the internet and searching for pics .. its very very hard to get a good proportioned volksrod and your is great.. i have seen so many faillures i like yours a lot !! would be awsome to chop the roof just a bit .. not to extreme but a bit but i can understand its a very big thing , not easy and ...cost a lot do do right.. that said the high roof does have its charme any more idea's for the car in the future ?? btw can i be dead hounest ? i hate the mirror .. nothing to do with the cross and i know that has so much different meanings and not thinking ... (just so we dont go there discussion wise because i know) its just over here in europe its like a chewed out theme .. so many stuff for sale like iron cross or chopper cross .. its become a bit like i build something and buy a cross theme item and bolt it on so for me ... i would love to see like a simple round mirror on it , maybe even hanging from the top down simple round one but this was just my thought haha , if you love it go for it nothing wrong in different tastes right
