NICE looking mill. If it runs half as good as it looks it'll be one fast car. Congrats!

Vic Piano · 04-06-2011, 07:04 PM

Outstanding!

Ken Crans · 04-06-2011, 07:47 PM

Very nice Tom, Did you get the rim situation straightened out? Ken

Tom's36coupe · 04-06-2011, 08:20 PM

Hey Ken, waiting to get my rears back from wheel works, also a friend here in town gave me a set of 3 1/2" wide , wide five wheels that will be perfect for my front tires. Hope to have the tires back on then its time for paint! Did you get some tires for the truck?

broderchamp · 04-06-2011, 08:24 PM

Where did you get the wire looms? Dennis

Tom's36coupe · 04-06-2011, 08:57 PM

Taylor 8mm wires from Summit, very nice quality , got the plastic wire separaters from them too.

Ken Crans · 04-07-2011, 04:48 AM

Hey Tom, Still working on getting the tires. Had another setback, I had 2 different size rims. Got that fixed, now i just got to get the tires. Ken

Tom's36coupe · 04-07-2011, 09:19 PM

Thanks! Mark Kirby from the old Motor City Flathead made it to fit my Hexagon tool intake. It has a K&N filter in it, works great

tom/illinois · 04-08-2011, 08:21 PM

Tom, what is the carb set-up?

Tom's36coupe · 04-08-2011, 09:47 PM

twin holley 94s built by CharlieNY on a hexagon tool intake

tom/illinois · 04-08-2011, 10:24 PM

Not familiar with a hexagon tool intake. I have a dressed 8ba with dual 94's also built by Chas/NY. I really like your air cleaner. I wanted something like that when I built my engine I settled for helmets but have never liked the look. I presume Mark Kirby custom made that for you or is it available for sale? Thanks for posting......sharp looking engine.
