  1. Shirley's surely sure she sold seashells shucked, sorted,and shouldered by Sven on Sundays.
  2. Here's a couple pics of top fuel engines, they use the frame rail as a catch can. Some applications actually require a vacuum pump due to the pressures created in the crankcase. The last image is the ramchargers car, so old school setup. It will vary depending on application, this is one way they do things.
  3. Cool looking build and welcome to the forum.
  4. Coffee fuels the majority of the working class.
  5. According to Google, there's an inch and a half difference. 58 vs 59.50. If it bolts in, and nothing hits, you could make up the difference with wheel offset.
  6. I knew the charger was some inspiration, can't mistake those lines. In one of your photos the roofline to the side looks very jaguar xk. Could just be me,or the angle of the photo. Very cool concept you've built, and great work finishing and making it a reality. πŸ‘πŸ‘
  7. Yup,this one's bad@#$. I'm liking what I'm seeing. πŸ‘πŸ‘
  8. I've made windshields and windows from .010 clear acetate purchased from Michael's. Worked well for this 34 ford, but that is all flat "glass".
  9. Interesting design, i see a few hints of different cars there. Can I ask what, if any, vehicles inspired you while designing this?
  10. Horn Blasters sells good tanks on Amazon. They have them down to around a half gallon size. Vai-air is another option. These are actual pressure vessel tanks, so there's a safety factor and less risk of a suprise.
  11. That looks great Don. A couple bumps in the road but you persevered and got her finished. Each kit is practice for the next one,looking forward to your next build.
  12. Nice work on this 67, it looks mean. Awesome color choice as well.πŸ‘πŸ‘
  13. Yes, the environmental factor was exactly what I was getting at. I had neglected to do a thorough cleaning after storing the a.c. in my garage for winter. There are mold test kits available here in the U.S., how good they are I'm not sure, and if theyare available elsewhere. My situation was a nasty bacteria (legionnaires)found in nature, one of those kind of rare incidents. Hopefully you are able to remediate the problem.
  14. That's rough man. I've seen videos of professionals repairing them, as a metal worker I look at musical instruments as works of art. No doubt that's gonna be costly.
  15. Nice work on the gauge. I've never had a sharpie do that, paint pens and molotow have done that to me. I've taken to either airbrushing it,which isn't an option for you,or a brush. Is bare metal foil available to you? Your build,and ingenuity with this project is very interesting and educational to follow. On the topic of your condition, the air purifier is a fantastic idea, when I was hospitalized they believe it was from the window air conditioner. I had just installed it the week prior and became ill the next day. Keep up with great work,sir.
  16. Beautiful work. If it had a 265 in it, you'd swear G.M. made them. Stunning job with this oneπŸ‘πŸ‘
  17. Same here. Not knocking any creator, but the wealth of skill and knowledge here vastly eclipses what I've seen on YouTube. I use YouTube as a "third source", if at all, for a technique or product review.
  18. Awesome work on that interior. That cage looks perfect.
  19. Great looking coronet.
  20. I had sent you a p.m. sorry Carl https://www.walmart.com/ip/Display-Stand-Action-Figures-Height-Adjustable-3D-Printed-Holder-Base-Dummy-T13-Versatile-Angles-Accessories-Easy-Stop-Motion-Showcase/17421802444?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=102633091&adid=2222222222817421802444_102633091_14069003552_202077872&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=m&wl3=42423897272&wl4=pla-319455734609&wl5=9004634&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=5469174572&wl11=online&wl12=17421802444_102633091&veh=sem&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=202077872&gclid=Cj0KCQjwwsrFBhD6ARIsAPnUFD0vgZNnsCrWahuSeTH-XXsVG9-keL2mCH_E4a34CYJPuQKV9P3a7pQaAhsxEALw_wcB
  21. Watched that one last night. The scanner was interesting, they used it to re-create the venturi for the carb.
  22. That's a crispy one. Nice work so far.πŸ‘πŸ‘
