landman Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) While attaching the hoses I managed to break the very flimsy resi valve stems. Made new ones out of brass tubing and completed the set. In place near the welding bench. Edited November 16, 2020 by landman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyjim Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 And I thought I was close too, Pat. Looks like a terrific start to an english wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 That's cool! Scratch one clamp and add many smoothly curved fenders. I fillet above the top wheel in that notch will make it fully rigid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTJUNIOR Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Very nice scratch building Pat. Keep at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Since I took the time to move the dios to a better lighted spot to take photos of these latest items I thought why not take photos of the whole thing, both rooms. starting with the restoration shop, imagine starting at the left wall and moving clockwise to the right wall. 1.Front part of the left wall 2. Back part of left wall, where it meets the back wall. 3.Left center portion of shop. 4. Right center portion of shop. 5.Right end of back wall where the three engine display is. This display will change regularly. 6. Front right wall   Edited November 16, 2020 by landman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) And now the shop itself. Lotsa stuff to go in there yet. Same deal here, photos from left to right. 1. The shipping/receiving area. Workbench is there temporarily. 2.Those three engines are where the line boring machine will go. 3.The crankshaft grinding machine 4.The surface grinding machine Edited November 16, 2020 by landman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) The current trio on display  Will be replaced by a trio of Ford SOHC 427's. I got three in various levels of completeness in a large engine junk pile I bought on eBay. I scrounged around the other engines and with a little scratchbuilding (coils, oil filter) and one pair of resin valve covers I can make three.

charlie8575 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Boring machine? What if I want an interesting machine?All bad jokes aside, very nice work on those machines, and I'm not kidding at all about that.Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Here are the three 427's on display. I changed the location of the platform for ease of photography. It was hard to get good shots in the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
