Doing some work to the engine...Have to install the generator pulley yet and make a bracket to hold it. I have already turned the pulley on my lathe but have no idea what to use for a bracket, probably going the pe route!

the picture are a little out of focus (i need a new camera) but getting some more work done on the casket, just need to clear coat over the decals then add the interior and fenders and the trailer will be done.

Im determined to have this one done before winter. I can not look at it anymore in the state that it is in with parts everywhere, the time has come to finish it. The casket is gonna have upholstery in it that looks like diamond tuck, and a tv and other things. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!!!

WINTER? man, you'er killing me. seriously though, it's looking good. This build has me on the edge of my seat wanting to know how those colors will work with the whole theme.

Wow! I'm new to the forum and I just came across this build. I'm loving every minute (or pic) of it. This is gonna be an epic show stopper. I've got a '41 Chevy pickup underway too and I'll have to post some pics, although it's gonna seem awfully boring now.

Thanks everyone for the cool comments, thats what keeps me focused now and on track to finish.

Almost done with the engine now, got the pulleys on and the plug wires, just need to add some more wiring and water hoses when its installed in the frame.

in fact will have to plumb the drivers side out the back as the generator is right on top of it.
