By the way, Lucky is a cute cat. He sure is lucky you son saved him, but heck that was only one of his nine lives.

I sure hope so Duane. Can't wait until I turn the key. Lucky is really a very good cat, just as happy as can be. He and the male cat wrestle constantly, and it has been good for both of them. The male was pretty bored before he came, now he has someone to play with 24-7. I laugh my tail off watching them tear through the house after one another.

Don, I use a heavy wire to form the shape of the hose. So when I go thru about 5o hoses to find the one to cut down at least it has the turns and angles I need. Hope that helps..............and by the way no whips. LOL
I believe in the reward system cold beer, good food, and cake.

Brad: Cold beer and cake.......the breakfast of Champions. Good idea about the wire. I've got some tig wire that will work fine for that.

FMX, thanks for the kind words, and nice to hear from you again. Wondered where you have been. If you go back and read everything you are going to have to sift through lots of stuff like cat talk, pictures of pretty (?) women Uncle Bob insists on posting , and several pages of recipes. But hidden among all that stuff is some car building going on too.

Jack and Dave, thanks for the tips on both of those. I'll measure the inlets and outlets on engine and radiator before I go to the store.......good points.

Got a little sanding done on the body today, but mostly Dan and I spent the day putting 4 fans on the wall. It was unGodly hot in there, so we decided to see if we could get some air moving. It did improve the temperature somewhat, and the air moving over us makes you feel cooler too.

I've decided to keep moving ahead with the body prep, that way when my buddy takes it to paint he should have less to do. Should drop the price a little too if he has less work on it. I built a rack to put the body on today so it is about two feet higher off the ground.......sure made it easier to sand that way.

Don

Okay, you don't like little kitties, and pictures of "babes"? How about a health tip from on of Don's friends in Florida?

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water..........

Don, this thing is comming along very nicely. It has the stance that I like in a T and the style with the engine, wheels, and paint scheme. Exactly how I like an old roadster or T bucket or 30's pickup. I haven't been on much because of work and working on my own hot rods instead of on the computer but I read my emails and still keeping up with this thread. When your all done I plan to go to page one and read all of the pages because I know I have missed a bit of information on here which I'd like to learn for when I do a 27 T.

Don, I found some universal flex hoses - ribbed with a wire coil inserted - and found one for both top and bottom. The one on bottom even had 1-1/2" on one end and 1 3/4" on the other end. No adaptor required.

The top one could be a little longer. I'll change it someday.

Some mandrel bent stainless tubing and a couple of short hoses and some clamps works well, too. I've seen the chrome bendable hoses on eBay, never have tried a set, no idea how they really look or work though....

Thats rich Bob, very funny! This is a great thread even though it sidetracks once in a while, it's been a great trip to follow your build through it all. I'll be waiting to see pics of the finished body, that will be awesome also.

Great looking engine Henry, very nice very nice.

Can you believe that we have been side tracked by some guy building a car I came here for the food recipes, this is the the food forum right.

You DO realize the main form of sustinence in Florida is Ensure don't you?

Yep, and the main product we export to the State of Washington is Depends.

Yes, but what I don't understand is why you want the used ones back!!!

Maybe it's best we don't know the answer to that one!

Our other export is mattresses. Used Depends make great stuffing. Sweet dreams, Bob.
