This thing is amazing. I am also interested to see what comes of the 20's Ford? body sitting in the back and the Hemi that looks to be sitting on a 32' frame.

Yep, '27 track T in the back, and my '32 tudor sedan with a DeSoto hemi, I'm doing the bodywork on it now. All steel car, nothing newer than '55 on it. I'll post some shots of it

I'll start out with this little girl we rescued, she was tied up in a yard being used as a bait dog, beaten and not in too good of shape, she even has her puppy teeth still! As a pitbull advocate, this made me sick, she now has a good home with my other two who absolutely love her!



Well the engine bay is about all wrapped up now. I made a custom radiator expansion tank setup. I started out with a Mishimoto radiator, I then cut the upper outlet off and moved it down 2" to clear the 4" intake. Then I welded an 1/8npt fitting in the top corner for the recirculation tube, which I also tied the LS steam vent into as well. Finally, I made a bracket to mount the expansion tank. I made the expansion tank from 2x4" extruded tube, capped it off, then welded the fittings for the outlet and recirc. I added AN fittings for the crossover and steam vent.

I fabbed the intake out of some 4" .065 aluminum 90 degree bends, pretty simple, then I TIG'd on the card style MAF flange on the back to keep it nice and hidden.

The radiator was coated with some black lacquer as it's thin and doesn't effect cooling, the fins were painted from the top, if you look from the bottom, you can still see silver. It's an old hot rod trick. The expansion tank and intake were powder coated in the wrinkle black.

Here's some shots! Wheels are in the works, and exhaust is up next!
