Welder, belt grinder, ... that's the kind of tools we are not in the habit of reading for a model A huge concept like that requests huge tools. You are lucky to be tooled.

Btw, very good job. I repeat my wishes and 'good luck' for your project. I know that undertaking projects like that are risky and quickly boring. Keep courage and go on

Yep, thats what is featured in the photos. I will rebuild/scratchbuild my own valve covers, intake manifold, ram air system, ram air/wiring enclosure, etc. Im going to make it a fuel injected motor to give it a nice clean look.

As far as progress goes, I'm getting pissed off. I really getting sick and tired for having to wait to use the TIG. I finally have some time off work to weld, and the guys are busy, except for tonight, and guess what, Im working tonight (and I dont have any sick days). I need the welder up in Michigan, except shipping is going to cost me about $105.00USD.

In the mean time I have been making sketches and designing how the door latches will work, very intresting.

[white97ex]

well. atleast you have stuff to keep you busy while you can't weld, that is still pertaining to the build

Chevy is comming out with a 572 block. Might want to wait for that.
