some of that alum paint would work

High temp aluminum paint. sfi approved.

I still line my hat with aluminium foiled to keep the FBI from reading my mind!!!!! Gonna order some unobtanium tomorrow to build my motor plates wit!!!!!!

Where do you get unobtanium from Dave. My guess wood' B the unobtanium store.

Before I start the firewall I wanted to get the English Wheel built. Ran into a little snag though. I made up the bottom anvil assembly last night. Cut the frame parts out today. Got a couple pcs. clamped together to weld.......and then stripped the threads out of the torch head on the TIG. and it's saturday.
There goes the weekend. ...............

thats some thick flat plate thats alum? or steel .you cut that out with a 1/8 mill ??? that must of been a job

Yup it's aluminum. I cut it out with a 1/4" end mill, but on the CNC, so it wasn't much work.

Looks good Pro! Too bad about the TIG--but then that stuff always does happen when the welding store is closed, doesn't it?????? Heck, I ran out of energy today, called the parts store, and wouldn't ya know???? It's on back order!!!!!!

It was good to meet you Jerry. I think that makes a grand total of maybe 4 people from CHR I've met to date. That crate engine sounds like a good idea. Might keep it as a spare when I'm done with it.

Dave I was just thinking about your truck today, since it was one of the featured photos on the home page of CHR when I logged in this morning. Post some shots when you get the chance.
