A few weeks ago i was playing one of my guitars (i'm also a guitar freak) and suddenly thought my Telecaster knobs would make great switch knobs if only a tiny bit bigger, you can buy them off the shelf but they are a bit small in diameter, while i was thinking about them i noticed some pearl insert things in Sue's crafting box :LOL:, anyways i turned up some knobs in steel (didn't have any stainless the right size to hand) and recessed them to take the pearl thingys, I knurled the outside and dropped them in the chrome shop.
Got them back today so glued the pearl thingys in place, I'm pretty pleased how they came out :D

I mentioned earlier that my regulator cover had some blemish's i couldn't get out, next best thing was to cover them up :LOL:
My good mate the Bigbossman is in printing and sent me these he knocked up, I mounted them on a piece of 1/16" polished stainless and will rivet it to the regulator cover, nothing like a bit of advertising is there :LOL:

I could pat you on the back and tell you again what a true craftsman you are, but instead I'll point out that now we all know that your nice little tag is covering up some not so perfect chrome.....................:D And Steve, would you happen to know a good scrap man this side of the pond? I've got a load of hot rod junk that needs to be hauled off...........:LOL:Quote:

Very nice Steve, but you are going to be catching it from Sue for raiding her craft supplies. :LOL: I thought I was high tech when I drilled and tapped some dice for knobs on my car..........then you have to come along and make me realize what a hack I reallly am. :o:D

Well with the willys tucked up for the winter i managed to get back onto this project, been doing bits on it over the last couple of months but nothing worth posting, a lot of the time has been taken up in machining and porting & polishing the heads, they are away being bead blasted and then i can paint them.
The short motor is now together but i didn't take any pics as it boring stuff like gapping the rings etc etc.
Brief rundown of the spec is smoothed and polished crank, MTS H beam rods that were polished & shot peened and magnafluxed and fitted with ARP bolts, Pistons are KB hypereutetic and give 9.5-1 CR, Rings are Total Seal moly plasma. All were fully balanced.
I picked up a new water pump and removed all the various lumps & bumps and generally smoothed it all off, Then it got 2 coats of black Epoxy primer and 3 coats of 2K Moneyshot colour.
The steel shaft stub of the water pump boss stuck out slightly so a small rounded cover was added to the cover plate, only a small thing but it looks a lot tidier now.
