you make a guy feel pretty welcome here!
last year i put her away with solid motor mounts.. a haunting problem with the front bakes... and a few too many rattles....
put in the 'normal' motor mounts and a ground... and busted the idler pully I cobbled up to run the altenator 'low'... so now I have the altenator mounted high off the ram's horn. doesn't look as good - however the belt stays tight and the charging system works reliably -- a pretty good trade off!

I had some help - getting the brakes reverse bled... a little air was trapped in the line-lock... with that gone they work much better now...
changed the speedo cable - and the needle 'bounces' pretty good - but it is calming down... still using a GPS to make sure...
MAN!!! it good to be driving her again!!!

ok - I am looking for a little help!

I have this carb see... and I cannot find anything out about it....I took photos of all the visible info from it... hopefully someone can tell me what it was (originally) from and where I can get parts... I think a rebuild is in order as the last tank i went thru gave me less than 9 mpg!!!

here's the start of the bed... this all started as rough sticks and a little drawing... no

but then why am I telling you guys that! -- that's how it all starts!

bed 1.JPGbed 2.JPG

it is now sanded and is 'taking on moisture' prior to cutting and sealing...

been a while since I posted, (and my wife hasn't made it into work yet to catch me doing this!!!)

so an update is in order...
- found out that the prev. owner had a weighted flywheel... and a ballancer... the hard way -- the housing of my tranny plit in half from vibrations!
- found another (dirty old) 350 tranny -- works but second gear is terrible...
- put an intake and carb on the 305...
- started to build a new floor for the box...

The wood for the bed,, is that walnut by chance? By the looks of the grain pattern it appears they came off the same log?

Welcome, from SW Dorchester! I've been to your show in Ingersoll a few times before, but missed it this year somehow. I'm also a good buddy of Brent's, who lives just up the road from your store, East of Verschoyle. (used to have an A Sedan hot rod, now driving a '33 Coupe....year 'round! He also has a Funnycar)

I like the lift up bed. Seen all sorts of mods for fuel filler in the bed but that is slick.

some gas shocks would be cool but I imagine the bed has a fair amount of weight to it.
