Handy things to have!

The next time your stripping and parting out an A-body for parts, keep the part between the radiator support and the trans crossmember........mount it on some casters so you can roll it around. I have used these to make K-members, steering, suspension, clutch linkage, headers and a variety of other stuff. I have a scrap 426 Hemi block and a pair of heads.........would love to get one of those lightweight plastic replica motors for this purpose.

Here is a set of handmade A-body Hemi headers I made........................

WOW. :thumblef:

I wish I had a Real garage, with a cement floor;
and 50% of the talent you do. :notworth:

I thought I did ok, by putting a 318 together in my
formerly 273, 1964 Valiant. :notworth:

..................That is a COOL car!

I'd love to have that with one of those new "big-inch" crate small blocks.....

Believe it or not......back in '75-'76 a friend of mine used to have a '64 Valiant
with a 440 that had a max-wedge top end on it and was strictly a street car.....
It had a Dana 60 and a 727 Torqueflite in it.......it had a flat hood!

Nice ! I'd really like to know where you got those shock tower braces shown in the 3rd pic????

 

[HemiDenny]

Made 'em.........Here's an even more compact set that are welded on to
the '70 Duster I'm building now.

That is a great idea for mocking things up. I am green with envy though, I would love to have access to the tools required to do the fabing that you do.
