kennb Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 I am thinking about pulling this one back out and finishing it up. Needs a lot of work and redoing the frame in some places. Have a choice of motors from a hemi to a 283, which is the white one, with a blower and lots of garbage on it....................... let me know if it is worthy of reserection,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Kenn
CrazyGirl Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 put a flat head 8 in there !!!!! go old school !!!
kennb Posted March 19, 2013 Author Posted March 19, 2013 This is a build I started about 2 years ago...Needs a lot of things since I see a lot wrong now,but I will go ahead with it using the hemi and blower. More later............thanks for the imput Kenn
kennb Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 This will be the motor,,,I rebuilt the front end a little and narrowed it up, it was too wide for this car....also did a lot of cleanup onn the frame assembly. Kenn
Cool Hand Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 You never cease to amaze me with what you can scratch build.Impressive. On a side note. What happened to the scratch built hub-less motorcycle you were building ??
kennb Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 The motor cycle will be coming out soon I am pulling a lot of my older builds to finish them,,,,,a few surprises in the works................. Thanks for the comment and question,,,,, Kenn
Cool Hand Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 The motor cycle will be coming out soon Good to hear and look forward to seeing it get completed.That is truly a very unique scratch build. I bookmarked the original thread, but the pics are gone.

Cool Hand Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Up to you Kenn, either way it will be good to see some pics of it again.
kennb Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 For those that missed the beginning of this build 2 years ago,,,,the body and frame were done in less than 2 days so it is kinda rough,,,I am finishing it but it is not the best to start with, The rear end is a mdified Jag independent rear and leaf spring in the front with working steering. The engine is scratch hemi sort,of,,,,,,,,,,, Kenn
kennb Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 Luke,,,,when I get the 33 MG tidied up and under glass I will dig out the cycle and do a refreasher thread,,,,,,,,,,, Kenn

kennb Posted March 21, 2013 Author Posted March 21, 2013 The firewall has bothered me since i built this one and I think that is why I set it aside,,,,,,so,thanks to the post above on the 31 I am redoing the firewall and cowel. Kenn
kennb Posted March 22, 2013 Author Posted March 22, 2013 The body is straightened around ,,,now I will tackle the chassis and engine, The need to be done at the same time so everything fits right, Kenn
kennb Posted March 23, 2013 Author Posted March 23, 2013 The motor has been botthering me since I put it together,,,,time to find some drawings and get it close to right..I am sure the hemi guys are rolling thier eyes Time for major surgery...... A little cut and paste,,,,,,and taking hammering out a simple vavle cover it is strating to have the right design ques,,,, I am basing this on the 1956 engine,,,,,It is something one would have used in the 32 coupe...................... hope the hemi guys can nowstop rolling the eyes a bit Kenn
kennb Posted March 23, 2013 Author Posted March 23, 2013 Did the final valve covers,,,,,,,,I think they are okey now,,,,,,oile pan don and getting the setting in the engine bay.
