THIS is what happens when you screw with your work schedule and try taking Wednesday off Mike.
Maybe think about changing the title of the build to Murphy's Law?
You got it Mike, walk away, drive a German car or two around, forget about it. Grab some of the stuff we talked about and you'll get it on Sunday. Remember, SOLID support in the area you're forming it. Besides that, it will form easier, that support will absorb most of the energy from the hammer blows and keep them from stretching the surrounding metal.
Maybe an old stop sign glued underneath?NO, says the finger......
So then,...You're looking for me for a hood, and all you come up with is a T-shirt?
Besides,...that fairmont on the T shirt is pictured w/ a hood,.....I don't have a hood. I have a Bonafide Ioweegian piece of garage wall art.
Maybe you already died and are in G Monster hell. :zombie:No, Dave....It doesn't matter what day I take off.
The Monster don't care. The Monster exists solely to Fck with me. For the Monster it's a 24 hour, 7 day a week regimen.
I know this now.
It says that Gila Monsters are venomous. I'm calling BS on that. I've been bitten so many times squarely in the ass by this monster, that if they were truly venomous,..Id be dead.
Sucks when that happens, doesnt it?
PS, have you never seen/heard that saying, "I came all the way here/did all that, and all I got was this lousy t-shirt?" Yup, just did that for ya. There are no such hoods to be found on Ebay, but there were some nice front fenders, and cool old manuals and such.
Maybe you already died and are in G Monster hell. :zombie:
Where else in the interior will there be orange showing, or what accents of orange will be in it?A question for the anointed.
In other words, that would be one of you 12.
Orange on top, or black on top?
See the metal top band will be visible above the door panel. The door will be orange, but frame around the window (like all of our frames), will be black. But, I'm not sure about that top band. When the door is open, you're gonna see all of that orange around the perimeter (because there is a 1/2" reveal around the edge of the door panel). So I was thinking that the part that spans the top edge will/should be the same.
I'm painting these doors, and the back side of the trunk tomorrow. I figured I'd give the 5-6 of you that pay attention the opportunity to chime in, maybe even I'll get the entire contingent to comment if they have absolutely nothing better to do.
C'mon,......you can do it...I won't bite you......SAY it!
No whereWhere else in the interior will there be orange showing, or what accents of orange will be in it?
Then I think it would be better to be black. If that would be the only orange in the interior, it would look out of place.No where
BLACK. Preferably in hotrod or satin sheen. Let the orange be on the outside, on the inside of a Gila monster there is probably only bile and various shades of decay....
I'm bored mike.... I want data log and tune file from monster...... me makie it runz better.Well cant say that I've looked inside of an actual G monster, but I'd imagine it's black in there too. The only thing that's in various shades of decay in the inside of my monster is me.
What are you talkin about? the thing runs like crap. It'll barely idle until the WB takes control, and only then will it settle down. Revving the engine after that didn't give me any warm and fuzzies either.I'm bored mike.... I want data log and tune file from monster...... me makie it runz better.
Nope. Just give me full control of your laptop via teamviewer. Mwwwahahahahah!What are you talkin about? the thing runs like crap. It'll barely idle until the WB takes control, and only then will it settle down. Revving the engine after that didn't give me any warm and fuzzies either.
Couple that to the fact that one of the outputs will not control the WP,..the engine never gets up to temp when I run the wp full time,...and in the end,...anything you can do will make it run better.
Matter of fact,...I was kinda expecting it. (hopefully, I won't have to fly you in too)
Paint my car!Oh, holy moly Noobz! No paint for you!
It's commonly done. The old log mainifold is milled/cut/ground off the allow that piece to bolt on to accommodate three 1bbl's or 3 TB's that effectively even's out the distribution between the intake ports.
I don't have that head on the Monster. I have an Australian aluminum cross flow that is very similar to a Cleveland head inasmuch as it has canted valves, and actually uses the 1.73 cleveland rocker ratio with the intake on one side of the head, and the exhaust on the other.
( Well,...the "stock" version used a 1.73 Cleveland rocker,....my head uses a Crower chrome moly 1.75 offset trunion roller rocker to operate SBC, and BBC valves respectively)
if its fuel injected you can make anything happen. or use a few tbi setups. either way I have a MS function for that.I remember allllllll the work you posted to get that other head to work. That's why I wonder if this would work for a mere mortal.
Some tweaks for Corvair heads (that also have an integral cast manifold log and head) are to put a top on like this with 4 little carbs on a six cylinder. Or to shave off the whole log down to a flat face head. Then, at least two places made a pair of manifolds for the shaved heads that fit a Porsche carb on each side of the motor that has three barrels in one long carb body. Yes, that's one barrel per cylinder. I hear you can forget about a factory idle, but they spin well.
Like I said, I was looking for an answer I could actually get to run. Do you know if these work well enough to bother with on Ford straight sixes?
I am used to Clifford manifolds on removeable manifold sixes. (Like the 225 Dodge.)
Anyway, don't loose hope! Your car will be cool, unique and worth it again.
Ok,...If you are actually considering coming over to the "not quite dark" side, the modification you are talking about is done all the time. I cannot testify as to how well it works, but it must because (like I said) people do it all the time.I remember allllllll the work you posted to get that other head to work. That's why I wonder if this would work for a mere mortal.
