Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Think it came out looking great. Gotta love a 32 in black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 You seem to have a pulley on the drive belt that's not connected to anything! Did you forget a power steering pump or something? And a "magic floating alternator" too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Hey that's a great looking model. Gotta give you some props for getting the decals to lay down over the louvers. That would have driven me to drink. The lack of anything supporting alternators, pumps, compressors etc, is Harry's pet peeve. He's a good guy. The biggest improvement you could make here, is cleaning up the parts before you assemble. See the tab at the top of the grill insert? Or at the bottom of the steering wheel? Trimming those up and sanding the spot with a sanding stick will dramatically effect how well things fit. Keep on posting. Looking forward to seeing more.

Grumpa Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Nice little "Hi-Boy" Eric. Love the wide-whites! "Jantrix" has a good point. One of the easiest, and cheapest methods I know is using emory boards. Nail care aisle in the grocery store...a buck and you get like eight of them. You can cut them up and use them for hard to get to spots. They're great! Anyway...you're right....you can't go wrong with a black '32!

Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) I was still in the process of putting the engine together when I took the pic. However, the fan belt is hooked up right (I think the part you're referring to is hooked up to a starter?) and the alternator is on right too, it's attatched to the belt. I guess the pic is too dark to see? The only thing not hooked up was the raiator hose, but I fixed that. I was in a rush to get the pics before work. I do need an emory board, and I used to use them a lot; I just keep forgetting to pic them up. I've been having a stressful tme lately and it's hard enough to remember what I need from the store as it is.

Instead of an emery board, I'd recommend nail care sanding sticks available at your local beauty supply store like Sally's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1930fordpickup Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 looks OK Eric. The top pulley harry pointed out is the idler pulley I do believe. He is saying that those need a bracket not just the pulley and a belt holding it up. Not to worry about everyone being perfect . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
