Got the parts all cut out for the next portion of this build which will be equally as fun to put together as the engine was for me. There'll be a few changes in here.
I'm not one for conversions or custom front ends and all that BUT.....I AM one to admire great body work when I see it and mister.,...this is looking GOOD!!! Amazing efforts on working those parts in.
I've noticed that the temperatures in Canada are in 50's and it's been a little damp with humidity at around 75%. This could be some of your problems with the paint if your painting in an enclosed space like a garage where the humidity can wreak havoc on paint. Do you have a paint booth as of yet Declan?
I keep whatever scrap wire I can find Joe. In this case I used a strand of four wires from a piece of automotive electrical wiring and kind of twisted it all together except for the last inch or so of the strand which I separated out into four different leads. I painted coat after coat of semi gloss black onto the twisted together part to simulate a black electrical tape wound harness and painted the ends different colors and routed them to where they were supposed to go. I can elaborate more on it if you'd like.
No worries Mike and thanks!!! I've gotta go check out your builds man.
'Preciate you stoppin in and commenting brother Dan. Sorry I didn't get back to you today. I hit that section I was talking about and then after I made it back to work got snowed under. Great talking to you again brother.
Finished the engine up this morning aside from a wingnut that I have to fabricate and put on the air cleaner.
Glamour shots before she gets tucked away till a later part of the build.
It's pretty close to my original 351W that I had waaay back when:
