Did a tiny bit of fitting work last night, trimmed the up pipes and elongated the holes in the cross pipe so they angled up pipes fit. I've also decided to scrap the brake duct idea for now at least.

Work from Saturday, a little bit of time messing with intake pipes. Didn't weld anything yet, just cutting and drilling to prepare things. And then a couple from this evening looking at the possibility of ducting to the front brakes Rough ideas there obviously, it would have to have more of...

This one went in almost directly following the tread of the tire, I don't know how you'd ever plug it.

Down one psi since I checked an hour after getting to the house. I'm thinking I'm just going to live with the slow leak for a while. Picture just because pictures

120 miles on this tire:cussing:

Coolant AN lines today, and motorcycle riding which is less productive than working on the car. It's a perfect day in middle Tennessee though.

Tweaked the throttle cable bracket the little bit I needed for better alignment then gave it a quick coat of black this evening. Then ordered some stuff at the house tonight, hose ends and adapters to complete the cooling system from head to intake manifold, a coupler for the air filter/air...

Most done throttle cable bracket

Done and painted to an acceptable level

Did more on the air cleaner adapter. I still don't really like it I'm just OK enough with it I'm not going to bother making something else. Still needs to be finished and all that.

Well, it's something....but I think I hate it. The bottom part of the piece isn't shaped right to do what I decided to do with the top. To be fair I did change style half way through so I can't call it a screw up just a reminder not to change course part way through making a part. I'm going...

Air bags, designed right height is actually six inches up. Any lower than that and the front tires hit the fender openings while turning (plus some suspension compression). When the bags are dumped though the frame and rocker panel pinch welds are touching pavement

No progress on my car, so how about more shop pictures. Belair frame assembled and race Tahoe progress.

Obviously the supercharged Tornado engine needs a pinwheel shaped adapter that hook the carburetor to the air filter box.

Old intake and carb off this morning gonna see what we can do on the head side of the manifold today. Did make the amusing discovery that the carburetor that was in the engine when I got it has a 42.5mm throttle butterfly. One of them. Might be why the owner of the full size truck this came...

Things happened through very little fault of my own. Have a four barrel carb mounted to the supercharger now thanks to Jeff here at work. He's a way better welder than I am so he did this while I was wiring on his Jeep Commando.

And pictures of the Tornado with all the blue the same color. And a box of aluminum for the intake stuff. Gotta say this is probably my favorite angle of the car right now.

Why just win the truck class when you can embarrass them instead
