That's lookin' good Joshua. Here's a little known side note, a nicely painted oil bath air cleaner will provide an additional 10 horsepower to your Flathead... LOL

Re: Got a bit bored today!
I still feel a properly maintained oil bath is at the top of the list as far as effective is concerned.. Of course the operative here is "Properly Maintained"

Re: Got a bit bored today!
We were just talking about oil baths here. A guy said that when Mt St Helens blew ash all over, the only heavy equip that would work without the filters clogging up and choking them out were the ones with oil bath type filters.
So I'm thinking between that and the resistance to EMP, that after the Apocalypse we'll all be driving our old Fords around and eating Twinkies! |

Re: Got a bit bored today!
While there's something to be said about keeping that original patina (read: flaked paint) it looks pretty damn nice in satin black!
