Check the voltage at the horn connection

That sounds fun!

I was thinking it was the very early cars

Which cars is that correct for?

Be very careful if you cut that up or when it's cut up!! Stumps like that come slamming back down when cut from the trunk. I have seen videos that didn't end well when somebody was in the wrong place when that stump slammed back down!

Post up the shop name. People are always looking for a good plater

Did you use a service or do those yourself?

Looks like a good helper!

Speedi sleeves are very thin! Sometimes it helps to heat one and cool the other to aide assembly

The main part of the damper should have a rubber ring molded in the middle of it. Inspect it for damage. Its possible it is torn or out of balance and that's what destroyed the seal.

Wonder how they got that up on the table? Forklift? The table looks fixed and no apparent overhead crane

I find that the gloss paints like rustoleam dull down over time to appear more satin like

I probably have a set of extra frames but there would be shipping added. Terrapin probably has some too. They are stainless, so they will polish up nicely even if they're dingy to start with

That was so Greek to me! 🤣

There's a bunch of good parts there! Good luck

Absolutely, just let me know!

How far out is the body shop?

I believe the young guys who are in Georgia are making reproduction hoods, hatches, as well as other panels. Their company name escapes me right now. I think a hood is about $600

So I worked on the differential brace some more. I finally got the 3/8" steel from the machine shop a couple of weeks ago. He gave it to me free because it took so long. The sides had some beveling to them so I had to do some clean up first I checked a little more and then let Cody MIG it up for me. He was gonna TIG it but the MIG was close by so we went that route n it Cody wasn't pleased with the welds because the feed was being a little erratic, probably because the wire was dirty. I will do a little clean up on it and make it black.Should be fine for what I'm trying to do. I can post up the CAD file for the plate if anyone is interested

There are reproduction available too

I took these on the way up from the deer blind. Does this help? Looks like 5 spot welds on the bottom section. there are some on the top too you can just barely see

I suspect the debris could be coming off the chain guides. I don't know what else could shed like that inside the engine unless its been rebuilt in the past

I agree with zKars

That bearing looks fine to me What do the timing chain guides look like? What is that draining out of the oil filter?

Those repairs look fabulous. You are correct longevity is really important
