Time for a small update on the gasser.
The cars sat for the last few weeks, I just kind of needed a small break from spending money on it. But now I’m recharged and ready to get after it a bit.

I have a media blaster coming the second half of June to blast the whole car inside and out so I can have a clean base to do all my other welding and fabrication on. I need to do the floors and a bunch of other panels to cover holes and build a partition wall to the trunk.

I have a list of small parts I’m going to try to find at Ford Carlisle in a couple of weeks. Fuel system stuff.

The Lakewood bellhousing is machined flat(it was only .005 out but my machinist says he always does these because he’s seen a lot of variation on them.

And I have all of my fiberglass parts that I’ll need to figure out how to mount. I have some time off in June so I’m going to try and spend a couple days assembling the long block so it can get stored away with the transmission until it’s ready to go in. So I should have some bigger updates coming up. Thanks for reading.

Nice, what type of cutter did your machinist use on that bell?

His exact words were “the dullest one I have. It cuts these the best.”
