Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short

I’ve been draggin’ ass, but I’m on it now. It WILL be done before the new year. Body is off the frame again, but it won’t go back on until chassis is in powdercoat and the interior & firewall will be freshly painted.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short

Things have been progressing, just not very quickly or interestingly. But here are a few pics to prove I’m working on him. Got the front clip off and will get started deleting the stock heater box & fan holes and prepping it for paint. Also will be getting the interior metal prepped for paint too.

Also blew the PorterBuilt chassis apart for powdercoat… it’ll be black (original frame & oe brackets) and medium silver (Porterbuilt pieces). Then I’ll get it all reassembled, get the motor & transmission, gas tank air ride pieces in place and then I can build the driveshaft (2-piece) and get the exhaust run. Painless wiring, fit & finish the interior etc etc etc.

After putting it in words, it’s a long row to hoe. My mission is to have it finished by 2022. 🤷🏼*♂️

I’m actually using a oe tilt automatic column that I had rebuilt and painted. It’s an absolute beauty. 70ShortFleet did it.

He did mine as well. I had to shorten mine a wee bit more though to fit the R&P w/minimal angles & put the steering wheel closer to the dash for a little more in-cab room.

I got the chassis/frame dropped off at the powdercoater today. He said it should be done this week #fingerscrossed.

Especially since I’m going with 2 colors and there’s a total of 50 separate pieces that also have to be blasted.

WoW!!! Pieces are blasted, powdercoated & home. They look great in person. The silver is a metallic silver and really pops in sunlight. To bad it’ll never really show.

Nice. The contrasting color combo will pop.

Got a little bit of assembly accomplished. The colors really do look fantastic together.
