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.
