My 26T Coupe build thread

[roadster32]

Hey Steve in some of those photos it looks like you have that motor set up on the engine stand in your lounge at home,I bet Sue is pleased with you if that is the case on her shag pile carpet????Nice work though.....

Thats the concrete floor in my dirty room Whip but you have given me an idea, I will have a chat about it with Sue and let you know how i get on

Oh sure, Steve, women just love having engines built in the living room.....don't even ask, just surprise her. It will be even better than Valentines Day! (News flash from the UK. Man taken to hospital to extract Cadillac valve cover from his ear..........film at 11.)

That adapter looks really great. BTW, I took your gaskets out of the package to see if they could fold enough to go in a box.......not going to chance it. I'm going to tape heavy cardboard on both sides and mail it that way.

Forgot to put this pic up, Picked up a bit of stainless 3/8" hex bar so made some valve cover hold downs.

Thank's alot.......... Tried out my new drill press today and made part of some bumper brackets with lightning holes. Just when I was pleased with myself, I came in and read this.............. If I wasn't so tired I'd just go chunk those brackets in the scrap pile....... Oh well, you keep me amazed. You sir are a Craftsman.
