Sweet. I've got a couple of buddies that'd love to see your car at the track. Let us know if it's a go and we're there.

 

this is the coolest thread on the whole forum

brings back memories of my first car , 73 light blue nova 350 V8, your project is awesome. ....... and you won't have those broken lifters going tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap

 

any updates

 

Last weekend's update from Andy (see pics below). Final panel alignment is supposed to be done by this Monday.

 

Decided to do a new aluminum oil pan. The other pan we made turned out good, but I was worried about the 4 qt capacity and being so shallow without baffling. Paranoia got the best of me. Finished modeling it in Solidworks. It should hold a little over 5 qts and will be fully baffled. I'm hoping the 3/8" flange will act similar to a stud girdle and help with motor flex. One final check, and things are ready for the CNC waterjet and plasma tables.

 

Hey lookin' good Solidworks is a very nice tool for 3D CAD work

 

Current status. Getting closer!

 

Looking good bro...I sent a pm your way...hit me up

 

Much Props to you man, Love the project. This is probably the first time i gave anyone in any forum props for there work. As for a 15 seconds run.. i think not.
Not with that set-up.

Lucky for you in your climate you don't have to wait until April for the snow to go away to pull your car out and get it ready to drive.
