I watched it sell. With the buyers premium of $1,000 it brought a total of $29,000. Not a bad price. It needs some loving to be original, but has lots of potential. The radiator and hood are not correct. Neither is the carb. The exhaust manifold is cobbled up. But all of that can be fixed. If anyone knows where it is going, or who the owner is, I'd like to get in contact with them. So I can update my master 6-12 survivors list. I may be able to help with some of the restoration details as well. Thanks! As for my 6-12, things are rolling right along... See what I did there, we did wheels this week, ha!

Eric,
I've seen that pic before, it is in one of the reference books. But it is a very neat pic! Used by Dave Harrington when he replicated his Duplex. Hope to get to see that again next year when there will hopefully be some shows! Steve, I appreciate hearing that people enjoy what we are doing. Thank you, we are doing the very best we know how on this project. Like one members tagline on this forum, we are implementing maximum use of available resources. Without further ado, here is the latest video! [TUBE]ADmfbXLw7AY[/TUBE]

Jacob, You mention having to make up the manifold(s) from scratch using black pipe fittings. These short ells might come in handy and save some fabrication; A few years ago, I built a water cross-over for a 331 Hemi engine using them

I was unclear with my explanation, I have the manifolds, but need to fabricate the fitting that bolts to it, and the actual exhaust pipe. But this is a handy thing to know, I didn't know these weld fittings were a thing, learn something every day! Thanks

Y'all get a double this week, as it was too much footage to cram into one video, LOL! This week I also look at the steering rod and steering wheel, work on the seat assembly, and try to figure out a couple mysteries. [TUBE]SNn0E4irJaQ[/TUBE] |

Something you might use to take up the looseness of the steering "knuckle" is a 3/8 Roll Pin. Roll Pins are always larger than the nominal size. .. may be .010 to .020 over. I've found that the cheaper imports are more so than US made. You could also put a 1/4" bolt through the Roll Pin and a nut to make it a little more authentic......... if it will fit, or course.

Thanks Gatz, I don't know that I would have thought of that idea. I found an over sized rod to make a pin out of that should work rather well, we'll see when it comes this week.
It's a good thing you guys got a double shot last week, as this week is kinda weak, LOL! Hopefully once I get past some of these little details we'll get back into something more fun. [TUBE]Zuap_mHOLYQ[/TUBE]

I just wire brushed the flash rust off my pistons, however I did start rebuilding a magneto I found at a swap meet. You think you have problems staying focused! Keep up the good work.

Focus on the 18-30 Wendell! That's all you need to worry about, hehehe! You have 15 weekends to get it going for Hutch, plenty of time...
I figured out a few more things this weekend, and made some good progress on fitting the engine parts together. There is just sooooooo much time spent figuring things out and making sure everything fits with everything else. |
