Lookin great, what a neat process and a fantastic end result

Thanks Don Jr, I had my doubts!!

I took my block to get it acid bathed to try and get all the carbon and rust out of the ports and water jackets. It came pretty good, then took it to have it hot tanked.
Bolted everything together and am close to putting it in the frame rails to see where everything is going to go.

V-12! Wow!! That engine is awesome.

Ken, given all the polished stuff, I just had a thought:

"when you take this car to a parade, dont let them put you
behind the horses" would not be a pretty clean up job

How are the Arden heads coming? This will be a real cool engine build to watch!

Those springs sure are turning out nice. Any guessesd as to how the spring rate will compare to henry's steel?

Seeing the picture of the block made me grin like the cat that ate the canary. I wait with 'bated breath for the heads and the assembly, then, the starting.

Just wait until people see it at a show and start counting spark plugs. The comments will be interesting, to say the least.

Don

Ken,I reckon that V12 is gunna look absolutely unreal sitting in between those rails..And,yeah,when folks start counting plugs,,,..Are ya gunna hand out cheap plastic shades at the shows,so people dont get too much glare off all that stainless??

Just Curious Ken what are the pistons 3 inch or so???

I was missing this thread and wondered if anyone has heard from Ken about any progress he's made. Ken if you are lurking post an update!

Last time I emailed Ken was a couple of months ago and at that time he was just super busy with his businesses. I really really miss Ken on this forum. He was always one of the builders who had such neat stuff to drool over and if there is a nicer, more humble man on this planet I have yet to meet him.

I wish he would just pop in from time to time to let us know how he and the family are doing.

Don

Ken is still mostly busy with business decisions/structuring at our last conversation a few weeks ago. The good news is, once he's got that all handled he should have more time to get back on the projects full bore. As for returning to posting, we'll see.........

Thanks Bob. We've kept in touch by emails, but no updates on his 32s!

I too miss seeing him on here. His projects are especially fun to see come together. He needs to come back and take some of the load off Steve (Roadster32). He can't create all the stainless parts on this forum himself after all!
