B ) Walking on water to Japan is not a problem if your God. C) Finding Unicorns to ride anywhere is easy after taking a hit of LSD. D) If you just...maybe if you...well, fuck, I got nothing... 3 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted April 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 In the interest of tractability and torque, we have elected to ditch the dual side draft idea for something "better". So it's back to Weber 38/38 "outlaw" carb we used to run. Chuck at Left Coast did me a solid and sold me his old intake for it... Need to get it cleaned up, all the smog crap off of it, put a Weber adapter plate on it, then a lick of paint and she'll be good... 1 Quote Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Hmm, your statement, "...a lick of paint..." makes me want to see if that bead-blast cabinet out back works. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted April 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 makes me want to see if that bead-blast cabinet out back works. Hmmm indeed... Even if not, we should make it work. We could use a good blast cabinet... Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Just paint over the dirt, this is a rally car right? Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted April 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Just paint over the dirt, this is a rally car right? Then why paint at all? :rofl: I do want the car to look good at least once before it sees the dirt... 1 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Cause it will look good until the dirt falls off. Quote Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Cause it will look good until the dirt falls off. No, it will look like a painted manifold, AKA Crap, until the dirt falls off... which would be patches of better looking-ness. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted April 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 Got a weber adapter and a 32/36. Gave it a test fit, which got Tim's gears turning... So now the thought is to use that carb hat we bought for an abandoned blow through turbo project for a "snorkel" of sorts... Plan is to go from there, through the (enlarged) hole where the wiper motor went, then up through and out of the cowl, into a weather resistant filter/hat sort of thing so it sucks air from outside of the car... Something akin to what the off road guys do... 2 Quote Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Also, after discussing why I oppose painted manifolds (I just do, and... uh, your face is a painted manifold!), I was told to "Suck it up snowflake!" and was convinced that a coat of aluminum-colored paint will be just fine. So I think I will allow John to paint the manifold black after all. Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 I picked up some silver caliper paint that looks pretty metal. :devil: Should last a while on my intake parts. Quote Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted April 16, 2017 Report Share Posted April 16, 2017 Wait, what? :rofl: Yeah, so while typing my bit, I got to thinking about some of those Edelbrock V8 maniflods I've seen on Summit and thought, "Those black maniflods look pretty cool, I guess." Quote Link to comment

Krylon makes a nice paint called "Dull Aluminum". And as the name would imply, it looks like freshly cast aluminum. Bead blasted on the right, painted on the left: 3 Quote Link to comment

dimlight65 Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Just picked up a pair of roof vents for my van but there's only room for one of them after all. I will therefore be installing the extra one on this project. Quote Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 A really bitchin' stainless X-pipe arrived for the Van Project today... unfortunately, what I ordered was a Y-pipe. I think I might re-purpose this mistake for the zorst on this project. Quote Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted January 3, 2018 Report Share Posted January 3, 2018 Here's my new exhaust tip We're debating flame-thrower or red LEDs in the eye sockets. I don't think we can do both... we'll try, I'm sure, but I bet the LEDs get all melty. 1 Quote Link to comment
