A Dashboard Fit for a King 💎 | Homemade Boat-tail Speedster Pt. 63

After collecting most of the dash instruments for the boat-tail speedster, I'm able to lay out and machine the dashboard to fit them in. I also put in the extra effort to jewel, aka engine turn the entire dash. Rubberized abrasives used: www.mcmaster.com/4777A63-4777A33/ Loveless Performance: frenzelsuperchargers.com/products

@macromachines How exactly does the lever reverse itself?
MAN !!! Finnish the the car
good job
American cars vs Euro cars be like
long sleeves and high rpm machines please beware
congrats man your a huge inspiration thank you for the content it helps
Wow, it was very well done, it's great 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
That invention is great, I'm going to make one too😅😅😅😅
Such great content, so much talent. Have you taken classes in fabrication and welding?
I swear you said Um at least 300 times
I really really miss your videos Vince and i hope that you one day will return to show us some of your amazing craftmanship 👍👍
Point taken. Best advise after watching a dozen videos!
Isn’t using propane a bit dangerous? I remember reading about a guy who used a few metal pipes or something to make one and died as a result of it exploding, expelling shrapnel into the poor dudes neck. Died on the spot.
How do you know that the ford fly wheel will work with the jag Crank thair has to be a balance problem
I liked the gearbox adapter, certainly given me thd confidence that it can be done.
Not simple at all. You have over 10k in tools easy. If you bought them at auctions for a steal
Happy for you 😊
Should last a lifetime. Several, actually! 😅 very nice
Really appreciated the new video!
Gostei muito da ideia e da estética dessa alavanca! Eu só colocaria uma trava perto da polia dentada para que mesmo que um dos cabos se rompessem, o freio de uma das rodas ainda continuasse a funcionar.
Beautiful car 👌👌
Uber cool !!!
Great video and great idea! The only thing I would do different as I would pressure wash it prior making the wash powder more effective and removing 100% of grease and grime
If you’re worried about not being able to get all the backer rod (sponge thingy) out of the cylinder, you can use an air hose fitting to screw it into the spark plug hole and apply 100psi air to hold the valves in place. I’ve done this multiple times when replacing valves springs on Chevy LS motors while it’s still in the truck. This was a great video, and I doubt you’ve put it on a dyno to see the power increase, but do you have any idea how much power increase you got, or how high you can rev the rpm’s?? I know the factory governor had it at 3600 rpm’s.
Тупой и циничный пиздежь. "Homemade" означает изготовление чего-либо БЕЗ применения специального, профессионального оборудования.
I have been wanting to replace my 302, from my 1992 f150 pickup, with my '57 292 T-Bird engine. Not sure if California smog laws will sllow it. At least now I know it can be done mechanicaly. I would like to put s modern fuel-injected truck engine in a late '60's Buick Electra 225. These are my two dreams! 🙂
Your are my fuck guy🤙
The larger engines like the 3.8 and 4.2 had side draft Solex carburetors, not Weber. My parents had a sedan with the 3.8 engine and my brother has a 4.2 XKE and both have Solex carbs from the factory. They are significantly bigger than yours but that should be expected with the larger displacement. I wasn't aware that Jaguar or British Leyland made a 2.4 Liter engine. Very nice work. Hope you get to move out of California.
I found your channel from your transmission adapater videos which has given me the confidence to attack a project I thought would be really cool but wasn't sure if I had the tooling to do it. Then I saw the title and had to say, people on forums saying it can't be done is my greatest motivator. Couple years ago I decided I wanted to put an instrument cluster from a newer truck into mine and people on forums said they can't be adapted to work and function properly and I took that personally and learned so much about how the instrument clusters work from the process of adapting it to work that I now fix said instrument clusters for a living which was never my intention. But the satisfaction of being able to post a picture of the cluster working in my truck to those that said it's impossible is just too satisfying because I can be a very petty person like that.
Awesome.build bro. Very very well done
You should coat the tracks in rubber
My sweet baby buckle Beau needs to be more like you, Son. Great workmanship🙏Amen! The Lord above has blessed you with brains and brawn 😉🧠💪🎉
I can feel the heat radiatin from here ❤️🔥🫶🏻🤪
electrolysis on an iron oily paint covered dirty old cast iron engine block is idiotic! good for nothing and adding or removing material on the dry spots, so what is the idea behind that but ignorance? you tried to plate a gunky diety old cast iron part🤯🤷♀️idiotic! who taught you this?
never do this! you ruin the seatings of bearings and the structure of the surfaces and the block ! engines should never be cleaned with detergentsm degreaser soaking or worse, electrolysis is not structural! and it does not clean but dissolve material! or add material! do you want spinge iron cake added on those surfaces that were not oily? washing soda! on aluminium! , this one is casted iron...completely insane! don,t do this....a bottle of kerosene and a brush, done in less than one hour! no water and no residues!
I have a 420 in a Ducar wood chipper and was wondering why I couldn't get full throttle --- it was the governor -- thank you as your video helped explain it!!
Where did your source hpde drive sprocket wheel
Italian tnaks be like:
Suggestion if you ever look to improve the performance of the lights: I think it would have been a good idea to go fairly heavy with the gloss black, build up a bit, so you could sand out the orange peel. Even with brushing the mirror on, I think it would have lead to a much smoother interior finish, which I think would push more of the light out of the bucket, rather than scattering it inside. To further refine it, I would use an airbrush to spray in the mirror finish.... But, for the cost of the air brush set up and such, it honestly might have been worth it to get them re-chromed on the inside. Now, that out of the way? This is gorgeous. .I love the brass emblem detail you put into them, and the care and effort really shows. The cord wrapped wires are fuckin mint. There is only way to describe the work you have put into this car: skookum as all hell.
funny thing is, me and my freind are making one too, but its based off a russian tank lol. oh and dont worry we are gonna post a video of it.
Build a T-34-85
Thought you might have a new trick or two. But you don't 😮.
Where can I get one of those brass butt plug tools?
Simple homemade louver press. Step one: Go into your fully equipped metal workshop and fire up your 2000 lbs milling machine.
Why bother with opening the crank case and removing the governer? You can just connect a throttle cable directly to the butterfly valve on the carburetor.
Are you ever gonna make another vid on the mud mower?
Graduation
It inspired me to make an adapter for my project
Awesome. That's amazing. Keep at it. I'm 47 and I've been dreaming of doing that since I was your age. So good on you. :D
Wow. That's an awful lot of very fiddly work. Nice. :D
