and when does the "personalization" start?

Are you going to take us along to watch that build also?:)

I'm not good verbally describe what I picture in my head, so please bear with me. For the distributor, hack it off like an inch below the main body (where the cap sits) and and flush or maybe half an inch above the flange where the distributor hold down rests. Weld them together. Have the shaft...

Glad you are not closer! Yes, good luck with the sale. Hope it's quick and relatively painless.

I don't recall this song, I thought it was "Tubular Bells".

UGH! at least your feet won't get wet...

Thanks for the info about the bulbs! Just hope I remember it when needed... or just buy them now, put them in stock and wonder why I have them.

heater hose or trans cooler lines in the pictures above? are you going to put grommets in the holes they pass thru?

like the "crash pad" on top of the dash. don't remember my van having that, but makes sense.

Jeepers! It's gonna need a Jeep emblem on it. Only kidding! Great work and ideas.

Moroso used to/may still make an offset air cleaner assembly. Good for clearing an HEI distributor. The base may have been similar to the Chevy L88 style drop-base air cleaner though.

does the drop base hit linkage or is it to tall?

Beautiful! It would be a shame to take it out and get it wet or dusty.

Looks great! sorry to hear about the shoulder...can you slam it back into place like Mel Gibson? :lol:

The jig is a brilliant idea!

what's not to like? it looks great!

the "restriction" in the passage is to slow the coolant down to remove more heat from the engine...:lol: great job on the lines!

Now that you say that, I can't imagine that little wire clip holds the bars in place...but it does hold pistons pins in place. Maybe the hex the bar goes in is just a bit bigger and when the bar is adjusted, it locks the bar in place. Kinda like a mm nut in a fractional socket.

With the torsion bars fitting snug against the clip, if there is any flex, could it pop the clips out? It's been a long time since I've swapped bars and don't remember the amount of spacing there was. Keep up the great work!

what is the saying about having no luck at all? your balancer problem reminds me of a friends problem. blasting down the hiway, smoke starts rolling out from under the car. He slows down, nurses it to where he is going. it's dark out, of course. no oil. puts oil in, starts it up, no noise, good...

would gutting a spark plug, threading the inside of the base for NPT, put a long nipple in it and a Milton type air hose fitting on the end work?

Thank you for sharing your adventure. Two personal questions and you don't have to answer if I'm being too nosey: 1) what does the car weigh? 2) how much did it cost or what would it cost to replace today? This seems like the easiest way to "build" a car for low $$$ and BIG fun! Thanks! Bob

mine is the cheap HF with 2 AA's. maybe I'll upgrade once I can get close enough to the lathe to rewire it. Ya know, new project, new tool.

Thanks for sharing findings on the brakes. I like the helpers work light, use mine more often than not now. Hmm, maybe I could use it to read at night?

is this the brackets used for an A-body power brake booster? A friend did that on his 66 A-body and had issues that I believe he decided was related to the pedal ratio.

That's Awesome!

practical and common sense, living within your means or the other example is "I owe, I owe, so off to work I go..."

WOW! That is outstanding! I hope the seats don't hide it and people see it when they look the car over. Neat!

I'll bet you are as excited as when you were going to look at your first car! Safe travels.

same thing for mounting the gauge on the cowl: two stainless steel sheet metal screws into an aluminum plate in the cowl. held the plate in place with tape through the drivers side vent box.
