Re: 1940 "project moonshine"

few updates.got the new hurst super cushion front tires on.also did the first shake down run and everything was good except the electric fan.we used a 10" flowing at 750 cfm with shroud.not going to cut it.were going to move the radiator forward and use a 16" fan flowing 2000cfm.we noted a little bit of oil near the back of the block but ran out of time to investigate.also noted a little bit of clicking coming from the rockers.we already changed the valve covers once due to rubbing inside.gonna have to pop them off to see whats up.all in all good first run.cant really get in to it yet with the new cam but it has great response with the three duece.tranny was smooth,steering was great and the scotts front and rear are awesome.more to come.thanks

Re: 1940 "project moonshine"

update. took the fan out and replaced it with a bigger one. so the oil on the back of the motor ended up being the head gasket leaking. also the clicking from the rockers was the locks coming loose. we took the head off and checked it cleaned it and put it back. also installed girdles on the rockers. got it all back together but no drive time. next week will be painting the wheels and a little more shakedown time.

Re: 1940 "project moonshine"

Looks great. What's next???

Congrats....That is one of the cooler looking trophies that I have seen. You should feel proud to display that. Your killing me will all of the sweet rides. If this keeps up you will need to get more days in the week to drive one of your different rides each day.

I think the body looks finished to me. For my next project I'm going for a natural finish....No show paint job on the next one.
