Thread: some pics for the ratters

Tweet

the first is my new air filter, i still have to clean it up, the second is my almost finished drivers side, the third is what im planning for my grill, any input is welcome

also i need ideas on covering my disributor to keep from getting wet, im thinking about adding metal off the lower sides of the coffin

Love the grille.


Surprisingly, water on the distributor doesn't seem to cause any running problems. I drove my '27 through blinding rainstorms time after time (you know how it rains here in Florida) and it never missed a beat. I had a mallory dual point and also a stock distributor, and both were the same. I swore that the engine would quit running any second, but it never did.

Actually, the last time I drove it I came home in 5 hours of blinding rain from Daytona, and it purred right along. And I had no hood, of course.

Love the grille.

thanks, i dont yet know how im going to attach them yet though, i thought about a peice of allthread through them bolted to the top and bottom, but then they will spin around

If your cap and wires are in good shape, rain wont hurt. You should worry more about water getting down the carb....which really won't hurt anything either....just makes it run funny.

why not mount an electric motor on a pully, and hook them all in, that way they rotate in sequence. add some green LED's behind cleare lenses in the eyes and use some kind of rotational contact for power and you will be all set

I like it!

are the heads plasic or hwat. one could drilla hole into them and use a jb weld or duramix product to glue a threaded rod stud into them .

hey pope hows things going did you get out and get a moose yet?

Need a nitros kit ,just so you can purge it out of the skulls!!!!

That looks sweet. I especially like the grill and the aircleaner is not bad either

An interesting idea involving skulls would be a skull air breather cover with a working mouth that would open during acceleration, using vaccum pressure.

love the skull grill, on my 36 dodge i have a skull on my grill
