Rust!

Get this, I have a nice 35 engine with 40 over pistons. That is the engine I want to put in the Hot Rod with the very early ROOF two carb intake and the Powerhouse generator with the Kubota alternator inside Polished heads so it should shine! Probably not much get up and go but still enough for an old boy like me. So after all that I was looking inside the water jackets and I poked around with a welding rod and this is what I took out!

Can you believe it! I did a flathead years ago and had Redi Strip dunk the block Wow what a change and that engine runs nice and cool,not sure if Redi strip is still going but it sure worked!

Gas filler door

Well getting going on the fender gas filler door. This is the first layout.
I have had a heck of a time finding a junk 46-48 Ford car fender.

I managed to locate one on the East coast  after I put an advert on The HAMB. Boy that got results! The Hamb sure has helped me out. So just used my glass bead cabinet during the move I damaged the air pressure gauge so now that is fixed I am good to go.

The curvature of the fenders is bang on,lucky me. So my weekend project is to get out the trusty MIG.

When I was waiting to fix the bead cabinet I went on to another project I will post it now.

This now done ,the sequence is out ,this photo should be last.
