Nice work!!!! Thanks for sharing.
Did you have the push rod tubes powder coated? Or did you purchase them black? Paint? Inquiring minds want to know.
Hope you make the Sunday deadline for motor install. Will car be ‘finished’ with that? Or more still to do?
Thanks!
My machinist/motor building spray painted both the push rod tubs and the tin that's directly above them.
I don't see why you couldn't powder coat them. The thicker coating shouldn't interfere with the o-rings AFAIK.
Short list of to-dos once the motor is in -
- Install carbs
- Install headlights
- Add fuel pump jumper wire at relay board
- Oh, install relay board
- Install muffler and Ox sensor/gauge
- Install starter (still can't decide which starter to run)
- Install battery
- Check brakes
- Break-in cam/tune carbs, etc.
- Finish assembling rear bumper and paint
Not too bad. Hoping to have it on the road before Christmas, though likely sooner.
