Very cool, like the W head motor!
well it's only monday what are you going to do next week ? :D
IMO the W motors rate right up there with the flatheads and and HEMIs as far as just looking right in a hot rod.
That many cubes though I'd suspect the engine would be a LOT happier with a dual quad intake rather than the adapter on a on a 4 BBL intake.
.
That's a very nice 32 for sure. I like that engine too. You sure don't see them much compared to a SBC, BBC, etc.
"....That motor was broke in on a dyno just as it sits and did a vey respectable 600HP Mike. ....."
OK I'll admit it I'm impressed (I'd still want to play with some other inductions, but I'm impressed )
.
That W motor and the Muncie just SCREAM hot rod. I was in high school when the W motors came out, and was green with envy.
My first car had a W motor, a 348 three speed, and I've always loved the unique look of them - even more now that they're so much harder to find.
So Don, your intro sayswhich makes it sound like he's gonna be coming back to get this one when it's done, as opposed to him stalling out and you swooping in to pick up the pieces as yours to keep. Accurate assessment, or reading too much into your wording? Not a big deal, just wondering if you're working on it for yourself, or finishing it for a buddy.Quote:

Don, what color/s is he wanting to go with it?
That will be sweet!
I could tell the owner was one of your Buddies Don as soon as I saw where the headlights were mounted, down low where they look the best. I agree with everybody too on the engine gearbox combination, real hot rod stuff and the triples look excellent too.
Little progress, there was NO steel in the body.and firewall was as thin as a potato chip.
And motor was mounted 1 1/2 in to far forward so added rad mounts, will build hood.
Nice little project to keep you busy for a while!
Who manufactured that body?
Got no clue ?????????? Lynn.Hand laid cloth (Not mat), looks like 33/34 Chevy rear window.
Steel (3/4 x 1 1/2 glassed under floor for support., Body is straight but was a little weak B4 I put sum structure in it. Oak top bows glassed in as are door surrounds. I thought I'd done em all until this 1, probably a back yard deal off old molds
It appears someone made a mould off an Outlaw body. Outlaw bodies have a 33-34 Chevy rear window and the front windshield reveal removed.
A little more progress, all steering in, had 2 fab all new mounts, Big Buck battery box installed and cables run.
Couple of dents in tank fixed.
This is turning into a real project, lotsa redo of back yard ingineering
Great work as usual! I have that same seat in mine.
Rich
I always enjoy looking at your work. Thanks again for posting pics and details. :cool:
Lots done this week, should squirt it 2morrow
Took the weekend off, shot it 2day, will slam the SPI clear on 2morrow, and reset the body Wednesday.
Now the fun begins
Looking great Don!
Is that a grey colour or silver ? I quite like that and with the clear will look amazing.
a nib and a buff and it xplodes.
Absolutely Gorgeous-I wish I had your talent!
As the song says: "I'm pretty good at drinking beer"
Back on the chassis, now the fun begins, throw some wire in it, insulated the floor and off to the trim shop.
It looks marvelous Don!
Heck, I will have to do a drive by paint job too like the one you offered the other day. I will give you time to change the colour of the paint in the bucket too. You Sir, are a very talented auto painter and I dear say that you had a natural ability with a gun in hand when you first started in the industry and you have honed your skills to an unbelievable level since. Thanks for posting the updates on your builds as I do admire good, nah, excellent, workmanship.
