Tried my hand on the mini lathe with the milling attachment. The center groove went OK, the side scallops not so. Finished the engine top parts. Valley cover + stock intake + dual four slanted carb base + carbs.

FTB recently completed a Pontiac SD 421. It is the one from the ERTL parts pak, which is a drag engine with three induction options. I chose the dual four setup but "streetified". The starter, water pump ,fan/pulleys/alternator assembly, distributor came from the parts bin. The oil filter, fuel pump, distributor dashpot and various tubing were scratchbuilt.

Gee I feel like a spring chicken at 65. Been at it off & on since the 50's.

Thanks guy for the nice words. On with the R4.The R4's dual four intake has a similar appearance to the single as far as runs go. So since kit R4 intakes are non existant I'll attempt to make one using a single four as a base. The R4 also has a prominent valley cover. Found one in the scrap heap which would work with some trimming. Unfortunately it disappeared from the table later in the evening. Started carving the carburetor bases out of a tapered block. This is to replicate the rake of the 1:1.

Beer six-packs? -
In my case, all of the above have happened but lately it is hard just to open it.

Thanks guys.

Thanks David. In my case, it wasn't the town, there was a blockage under the house somewhere. The subfloors have been removed, the cement scrubbed and sanitized, and the reconstruction should start next week. It is covered by the insurance. I would post a picture but Photobucket won't open again today.

A widened 36 Ford hood might work. -
I saw this neat photo on a Studebaker site. For the life of me I can't ID the tractor. It looks vaguely Mackish but I'm not sure. Anone know? thanks, Pat

Looks like there is some adjustment of the tabs front to back too. Am I correct at estimating the overall width at 4.5"?
