Bullybeef Posted February 14 Author Posted February 14 Salvage day! I have no new monogram brake drums in my stash, so I’ll have to attempt to salvage these (wish we had an Ollie’s I’d stock up on these) brake drums from a gluey mess. 1
customline Posted February 14 Posted February 14 2 hours ago, Bullybeef said: That is some extreme channeling! I’m diggin it except for the dragging on the ground rad shell. Yes it is. And the frame looks like it was zeed in the front too. Notice how high the engine had to be mounted so the pan wouldn't scrape the pavement. It looks a bit awkward but kinda cool at the same time. The radiator was cut down a lot. I wonder if there might have been overheating issues. It looks like a death trap, Bil, but "the brakes are good, the tires fair" comes to mind.🙂 1
Bullybeef Posted February 14 Author Posted February 14 Some interior work has been complete, the dash is not present as it will be the same colour as the exterior! I chose not to use the window cranks and door handles as I feel they would be better suited to a roadster where they would actually be seen. 3

Bullybeef Posted February 15 Author Posted February 15 (edited) Ok ok, back on topic! Today we will attempt to fill in some blanks on the frame, a fuel source, a steering box assembly and engine mounts then once we get the engine sorted we can mess with a rudimentary exhaust. You will notice in the pic that I have some basic engine mounts already there but those were temporary to place the engine for fitment to check for clearance issues with the firewall!

customline Posted February 15 Posted February 15 I'm glad we're back on the build, Bil, 'cuz I don't have a clue where that was headed 😣. I think I like the look of the old driveline hardware with the rear wishbone intact, although I'm not sure why. 1 1
Bullybeef Posted February 16 Author Posted February 16 (edited) Sunday Funday! well we had a bit of a weather front yesterday so I spent a fair bit of time doing snow removal. But today we march along to the beat of a different drummer to get some more pre-paint work completed. Steering yup we got that, engine mounts and trans cradle yup we got those too. Fuel, well we are still tinkering there, I tried the stock tank and was not super elated there. So we will dig around in the parts bins, and we have a possible winner. In other news the interior is done except for the dash, we ran into some fitment issues with the 40 dash and discovered that it interferes with the door handles. 🙄 Edited February 16 by Bullybeef Added pics of the dirty four letter word! 1

Don't make me say it. Snow is nice, especially this time of year. We've got a nice little Nor'easter headed our way. Should be here on Wednesday. Can't wait. You may getting some of it too! They're talking cat 2 wind. Woo hooo. 🥶 today, it's 67*f.

LennyB Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Anyway, we lost the topic again..... BTW here is my solution to those brakes, you can never have enough of these. 3
customline Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Okay....there's a little c-shaped clip that fits in a slot in the handle....get a stiff piece of wire.....OK, not funny either. Not my day. 1

Try it in 1/32! 🤣 Edit: after reviewing the interior photos, it appears re-orienting the handles would prove to be a fool's errand. Besides, if you lose a clip you're screwed.
