1950 Stude Build

[dmw56]

I dropped the engine onto the chassis this week and The pan on the engine I'm using is different than on my mock up. I need to either use the mock-up pan or notch the cross member.

I can get the motor mount bolts in but the pan sits on the crossmember. I need to cut out about 1/2". I think I'll do it the hard way and notch the crossmember so I can use the chrome pan.

I think I might still need to cut another half coil of the springs too.

I also got this...


....to replace this on my crane. That chain is pain and the chip in the pulley doesn't help either!

Heck Don with a motor like that one you could just take a sledge hammer to the pan

[Sam_Fear]

What would it cost to have the mock up pan chromed?

nice winch , that will make things a whole lot easier . You'll be able to lift a body off without the chain banging against everything , besides pushing a button sure sounds easier . Good score !

Got the electric winch mounted. How did I do without one before. So much easier and convenient!

[dmw56]

Made the notch in the crossmember. Just cut the piece out and flipped it around and welded it back in. Now I have pan clearance.

A couple more with the headers on.

Nice job on the crossmember.

well i'm a few month's behind on this one--but it all looks really good--just keep up the good work, and don't let that 34 distract you too much!!
