    Generator fan

    I am going to be running a 12 volt late 50's era Cadillac generator on my desoto hemi. I like the nostalgic look of a generator and can't afford a powergen. I found a nice rebuilt generator with a single pulley but I will need a double groove pulley for it. Also, the generator doesn't have a fan...

    I found the oil slinger stuck to the bottom of a box that we moved a hundred times trying to find parts. Got the pushrods adjusted and modified the valley cover to take an oil filler tube and a pcv valve. Hopefully get the pan and intake done tonight as well as spark plug wires.

    Finally got started getting the motor together. Got the rods and mains torqued, got the timing chain installed, got the lifters and push rods in and the heads on. I can't find the oil slinger so I couldn't put the timing cover on and subsequently the oil pan. I always find it amazing that I set...

    Finally back building!

    I have a unisteer rack and pinion in my model A and even without power steering, it steers with one finger. Bolts to the Vega box mount.

    I now have most of the parts I need to get the engine together. I got the intake manifold from hot heads yesterday. Waiting for a mechanic friend to come over and keep me from putting things together wrong. I also ordered a new grill shell and insert. The fiberglass shell that I have is...

    Started looking more seriously at the windshield frame and it looks like it will be an expensive piece. I am still planning on removing the top of the frame but I found about a foot long section of the bottom curved part of the frame/ window channel that was rotted out. I drilled out the spot...

    Got rid of some paint cans yesterday. I thought it turned out pretty good. Got one door painted, one door reprimered, cowl and dashboard painted. I went with satin black for the body and semigloss black for the dash.

    I'll work on pictures. It o overall looks worse now than it did a month ago. I have the cab and doors off and the whole garage is covered in bondo dust.

    Well, you folks are overdue for an update. I've been doing body work lately. I got patch panels for the bottom of the cowl and doors as well as cab corners. I got the doors and cowl done and in primer but I had to pull the cowl off the frame to remove the cowl trim band. I need to paint under...

    Oklahoma title for rat rod question.

    Tried to get a vin and title for my model a but they wanted it more complete before they would do it. I am only using the cab from the model a. Everything else is built from scratch, new, or from a different vehicle. The cab never had a vin number. The nonexistent engine had the serial number.

    Back to working on the body. Trying to get the doors to line up right. Anything I do to the drivers side messes up the passenger side and vice versa. I think I am getting it figured out. Should have some cash soon to get some more parts for the engine. I found a 700r4 transmission that has...

    Getting the block put together. Got the crankshaft and pistons installed. I need to order a bunch of parts before I can do much more. I need to get busy getting ready for deer season starting next weekend.

    Power or standard?

    I have a unisteer manual rack on my model A. I have a stripped block with heads in it for mockup, but I can steer it with one finger sitting still. I think I have 205r15 tires on the front.
