Getting Closer

[Donny M]

Coupled the engine and torque tube to the transmission today. It's a little difficult to do by yourself, but it's done. Took awhile though. I would recomend having help.

It's hard for me to remember what it looked like before.

Here's a couple of pictures:

Donny,

What kind of finish did you put on the manifold?

I wouldn't trust that blocking system. Looks like a accident waiting to happen.

Hi Donny
Looks real good, but like David has said please be careful with yourself , and all your hard work. Paul K. in N.H.

Donny:

Good question. Is that a high temp paint? What did you put on the carb to keep it shiny? Same thing with the hydraulic block?

Looking real good though.

Me too, I am kind of leary of your tripod system. Best get that front end under real quick!

Keep posting pics, looks real sharp.

Sometimes I'm not too bright but the jack and the 2x4 were just temporary. I have 2-2" angles bolted to the front of the torque tube, one on each side. Nice to see you looking out for me.

Don,
The paint on the manifold is high temp aluminum. Hope it holds up. It's really a little too bright for my taste.

Hey Donny, I'm enjoying your pics. Keep them coming. Your project looks spectacular. I've gotten a good laugh at the responses to your shoring also. Did you paint right there? The floor looks a little red. Bill

You sure know how to hurt a fella don't you! All kidding aside, it looks great.

It looks like the 2X4 on top of that wine bottle should hold...as long as you're balanced correctly

Hey that's going to be a show piece. I like the stainless hardware.

Enjoying seeing your pictures.

Thanks

Mike
