CB Posted March 2, 2009 Author Posted March 2, 2009 i agree maybe rice puddin for that rice burner 'rice burner'? watchu talkin' about Jerry? Ol' SKWALRLY am more of a 'bratwurst burner'-from the ol' country. Geez, I gots enuff turble with 'im as it is........if'n him feelings get too hurt he gonna go have another fling with ol' Led Well sirs, I hadta take some new pics of some recent work I done....... Fabbed up a startem up for ol' SKWIRLY's 4banger. Thar it be, in position. Still needs some 'machining'. Been using up parts outa the big box of 1/8 Big Duece I got from Deetroit. Dat main housing fer the starter is from the Big Duece rear axle. Gonna plant some power cable in that 'hole' on top back to a receptickle so's when he's all juiced up we'll just plug him in and start crankin' 'til he starts or blows up. Don't know why, but got the oily pan all shipshaped, and added some built up glue drops to stimulate blot heads around the flange, and added the start of him oil plugem up tube which gets trimmed down closer to the pan & mebbe I'll put a plug in it..........& mebbe not It's all gonna be coverd up with his skid plate anyhowso........ Looks like it fits in place puirty goodly, now I gotsa make a gasket rice burner????????????
evilone Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 Dude CB your using a candle?You know theres a new invention called the lighter bro.It makes it able for you to use a flame then when your done it extingueshes it so you don't get those nasty burns that cause a tickling feeling.Its looking good bro keep up the good work.
CB Posted March 5, 2009 Author Posted March 5, 2009 This here's getting outa hand......... Lord, help me! Don't look so bad, huh? Yeah, right, I just had to........ scratch me a hex head oil plug for ol' SLKWIRRLY. Me LHS has bolts even smaller than the ones I got there already fer mountin' the 4banger up, and SKWIRLS just had to have 'em . Just a FYI: that there li'l old bolt is 1/8" long (threaded part)- --only 5/32" long overall, and the threads are only 1/32" diameter. The stryreney thingee in my hand wit' dat li'l ol' blot am SKEWIRLLY's starter 'Bendix', and........ it mounts up likes so....... and thusly, with dat big ol' startem up sittin' nice & purty on top the block. But wait! Cain't have no hi-powered ol' SLWILRLY starter just sittin on top of el blocko. It gotta have a bracket So I started fabbin' one up. Here'm the bracket afore the final cut. Here'm the parts all ready fer assemblages. Thar she be! All bolted down in place. If'n any of yinz wants to go as crazy as me.......
CB Posted March 6, 2009 Author Posted March 6, 2009 WOW WOW WOW Dude that is Unbelievably AWESOME BRO. Keep er rollin. Skeewirily's Startinto look happy. ....... get it ...... STARTIN Methinks I'm startin' to see why SLKWIRLLY likes ya so much Led...WOW WOW WOW Well, you aiinst gots to live with 'im! Guess things aint all that bad, I's been gettin into the plumbin' of the ol' boy's 4banger Added a vent pipe to him bell housing so's some dat heat could escapade. We's gotta get some paint on some these here parts. Coz, like you says Bernard, We is rockin'! Tryin' to figger out xcactly how to form the intake manifold tubers & I's thinkin' them's gonna be next up

george 53 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 If you guys REALLY knew what a sick mind is behind all this, you might think different! The Cap'n GROWS HIS OWN MUSHROOMS!!! They're the new designer type, the kind that REALLY Funk you ALL up, but don't show. How you think he comes up with this stuff! Surely(and No,Cap'n, I'm NOT calling you Shirley,Although it IS a nice name!)the sign of a SICK mind! When we speak to each other on the phone, you'd NEVER know the mans NOT playin with a full deck, but when I see this stuff, and he talks about TALKIN TO skwerrly, I just know "Da boy ain't right" But don't nobody go an say nuttin, caz I wanna see how this all turns out!So far, so good. A mind is a TERRIBLE thing to waste!!!(Cap'n, got any a them shrooms left? I'm all out) (He grows da BEST!)

Gettin' some mo' done on the 4banger....... Everbody, meet Buck. Buck, say howdy to everone. Ol' Buck here came from down under this ol' house, way down in the powertool room. He gonna help us form up some valve coverlets fer the 4. Thanky kindly Buck. ahh.........flame..........ahh........ WHOA! cool weirdness! Way cool how the ink or paint on the 'FOR SALE' sign seperated or varigated........or whatever! Yup, heated a hunka the sign over the flame, and rammed it down over Buck, sliced it free and sanded some dem ruffs off'n the bottom....... and set valve coverlet #1 in place. Valve coverlet #2 wereren't so cool. Goodly enuffs fer a sqkwirlly dude. Getting flanged as we speak

Bend us! Bend us! See haow happy SWLKIRLLY is? Him gots all 4 for his 4bangin ground scrapin VW powersplant all set in places waiting for final convigorations.

I gotta go walk in the dark fer a spell.
CB Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 ....Too bad the second valve cover didn't come out with the same wild effect as the 1st. It would a been way coool to see 'em both on the 4bangey like that.
