Jairus Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Been playing with real stuff lately. On my coffee break while installing a 4bbl manifold to the old "Surf Rat" and snapped this pic. Have a great Saturday guys.
Greg Pugh Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 I don't what the "Surf Rat" is but that looks like an old Y-block. And I see a hood latch at the rear of the engine compartment....... '57-'59 Ford?
38 Crush Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 It's a 58 Ford Wagon.....Totally Cool !!! 38 Crush
Jairus Posted November 27, 2011 Author Posted November 27, 2011 Yup, it's a '58 Ford wagon and the engine is a 390 FE motor. Got her all buttoned up again this afternoon including the new 4bbl manifold and Edelbrock 650 carb but the water neck leaks and got the timing off by one tooth. Runs but my back hurts and time for some wine and then bed. Back at the salt mine tomorrow! Incidentally, here is the wagon at Salem Speed Shop on Friday afternoon where I had to pick up a 1" riser from Glenn.
Jairus Posted November 27, 2011 Author Posted November 27, 2011 Wood is coming soon as I get the basics working like heat and wipers, wet carpet and... etc. Here is a quick proposal for the wood siding that I like.
Dr. Cranky Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 That engine looks like it's in great shape, J. I like it blue and with the wood panels, whenever you get around to doing it. Drink more coffee! LOL!
Modellpularn Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 I think the wood paneling in the original drawing looks better.....
