Darren B Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) 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!

Darren B Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 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!!!

Steven2 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren B Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Thanks for all the comments. Got the front cylinders in and just enough room..... in fact will have to plumb the drivers side out the back as the generator is right on top of it.
