Thread: Moving ahead rebuilding my '27 roadster.

Tweet

Nothing much has been going on with the 27, still putting the engine together. I got the short block painted black yesterday and today I put the heads on for real. I was holding up ordering the bolt kit to put all the accessories on until I figured out if I wanted polished stainless or black, like the head bolts. Since the engine has mostly aluminum stuff on it I called Summit today and ordered it in black. I like the contrast. Now I can figure out what rockers and pushrods I want and get the top end buttoned up.

Dan has also been putting in some late nights on his interior. He worked last night until about 5 AM and finished up all the door and side panels. Today he is building another aluminum box that will house his stereo remote. I think a stereo in his car will be lost, can't imagine how he will hear it over the headers.

Here are a couple of shots of my engine as it stands, and also Dan's interior. Thanks to Gastrick (Bill) Dan has learned how to buck rivets. Bill was kind enough to exchange lengthy PMs with Dan teaching him how to do it properly. He must have been a good teacher because it came out great. Thanks Bill.

Nice work as usual.
Sounds like one of those two should do a tech thread so some of the rest of us could learn something about it. I'd sure appreciate it.

Bill (Gastrick) is the go-to-guy Bob. He is really something when it comes to those little details like riveting. I hope he does a thread on it (HINT HINT) He has the entire interior, firewall and more done on his 32.......very sharp.
