Re: Operation 1950 Burn Victim

Updates big time this past week. There was a lot of time spent cleaning the "little" detail parts. Paint removal. Wire wheel and grinder. Clean and paint. More cleaning; more painting.

But first I will show off the rest of the rear diff and brakes.







Sure looks purdy to me.

Now for some details.

The Starter pivot thing. Still not sure that I will use this starting system, but for now I detailed it.


All cleaned up.




The clutch fork that I will be using.


Just some random this and that. Plus the bellhousing.


Brake and clutch.
( I think ) haha


This is ugly.



We still have the original horn so I figured I should restore it.






I will get this re-chromed.







It turns out that the 57' 235 water pump does not come with a pulley. Since we did not have a pump for this engine it has made it difficult to find something to fit.
So after much contemplation and searching, I found this original pulley on some website like ebay but not.



All cleaned up

(yes, that is a 1967 Vette Roadster 427 Tripower in the background. Side pipes and all)




You can tell its age.



Like a glove!!


Now for some bellhousing tricks.
A little base black.






Starter thing installed.
I need shorter bolts.




And with the clutch fork.


Mad props to my monkey boy for doing the steam cleaning for me.
