  1. Here's my take on it.
  2. Here's my grandson with one. He had recognized "Doc Hudson".
  3. 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air.
  4. Thanks guys. Found an old rad in the parts bin that was big enough to suit the application. Cut off the remnants of the shroud and made a new one. Notched the rad to drop in place in the frame. Added wiring to the 348.
  5. Thanks guys.After much fiddling, I have a horrendous looking front axle which appears to be at the correct height.
  6. Packin'er up.How about finding a box the right size?
  7. X2
  8. I spent many a summer helping with the haying at my uncles'. One had a Farmall C and a Ford 8N. The other had a Case 200 or 230, I can't remember. That is where I learned to drive, on the 8N.
  9. Mocking up the front axle to determine tread width.
  10. I think the seller said 59 El Camino.
  11. Thanks John. I guess I better add those tools to the back burner. right now we are about to move and I am packing everything but one day soon I hope to set up again and get at it.
  12. Great save. there is a lot of satisfaction in doing this.
  13. Absolutely.
  14. The hood is hinged. Won't help with the servicing but we'll be able to see the engine.
  15. Very likely except all that was broken on mine which was a previously built wreck.
  16. So, a 348 it will be. Scrounged for a single 4 intake as the donor model's tri-power is not utilitarian enough in my opinion.
  17. By the way John, i haven't had a chance to dig up the Bugatti's instruction sheet to rectify the blower issue.
