Mr. Craig....

...thank you for your list.  However, it is even more awesome when used in conjunction with http://www.statewidelist.com/.

I bought this last night...

There is about 400lbs of petrobond casting sand, a legit aluminum molding flask and rammer.  This guy had a bunch more quality casting supplies if anyone is interested.  Here is the ad...Foundry tools

As a side note, John the owner, restores wooden boats.  He was a really interesting individual and had some absolutely gorgeous boats.  Here is his website...Riddle Boatworks

Ready for an install..


Finally found some time to finish up the first two adapters for the S-10 T5 behind a 235/261 Chevy.  As always, there were several small programming issues to work out but I think I have a pretty good progress now to make more. 


All the pieces fit together like it was meant to be...

I have a '58 Chevy truck lined-up to do a complete install on.  Plenty of pictures and descriptions will follow.  Hopefully, we should be getting to that this week.

I am going to look into having these cast and then final machine the raw castings.  To have them water jet cut, it would be tough for me to make anything on them while keeping the the cost to you the customer where ought to be....low.  I'll let you know what I find out.

Does anyone have any suggestions about casting?  Shoot me an email, dfarwell09@gmail.com




Minor details....

I've been attending to several minor details lately on the '40 trying to get everything ironed out.  One of those minor details was the over flow tube.  After I got the line bent up and installed, I thought that the fitting looked a bit to industrial....

 ..so back off it came.  After a bit of filing, it's better.

Cut once...measure twice...

Mabye next time, I will pay attention to my angles so I do not have to do this...

Hopefully, no more overheating...

The revised thermostat housing is done.  Unfortunatly, I messed up on my measurements and now have to modify a sbc thermostat housing instead on using a stock one like originally planned.  oh-well, How does that saying go?   Measure once...cut twice..


Some more progress pics...

Made some more progress on the adpaters.  It's always nice to see them fit on the first try.




Now onto the second set up...


Some pics....


I like how it goes from nice, semi nice and then crappy....
