Bullybeef Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 In today’s episode we will start on the interior, using the tub from the Amt 5 window kit, started by removing the floor from the tub as it will bee too tall with the section job. Selected some parts and started laying out the parts to see how it would all fit! Used my headless driver for mocking up the steering wheel height😜 he appreciates the side work! Just waiting for the seats to come out of their purple bath, then they will get some colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullybeef Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 Not a lot to show but it’s an update! Spent a couple of hours digging through my parts bins snd parts kits as well as opening up the hoods of every rebuilder I have. Realized late yesterday that I didn’t have a proper intake manifold for the scot blower to Mate up with the ardun heads! Did a quick interwebs search and found a pic of what a 1:1 should look like. Found a close match and offered it up to the ardun heads, it’s a near perfect fit. Sacrificed a single carb early intake manifold for the front and rear and mated them up to the donor manifold. and as Steve Buscemi said in Mr.Deeds.. ”looks good to me!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullybeef Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Progress is progress! Pulleys are all sorted for location, just working on a mounting point for the generator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullybeef Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 I decided on using the fender aprons, they required some modifications to work with the Ardun heads. Finally sorted out all the pulleys and the generator location. Once the glue sets I’ll finish routing the plug wires then add the belts. then I can finally set the engine in place and move forward with the suspension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Its a lot more work than I had anticipated 😑 getting all the parts lined up and leaving room for the coolant pipes was a challenge in itself.

Mr. Metallic Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Glad to see this one back small note, the grille is mounted far too vertically. I know you're still doing mock ups but wanted to make sure if you weren't aware of the positioning of a 33/34 grille. As a quick guide, that trim piece on top should be almost parallel to the ground Edited December 22, 2021 by Mr. Metallic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I never liked the look of the '33/ '34 with the inner panels on board but that creates a mounting problem. I have struggled with this. Maybe you know a good way?
