BIGDAVE:
OT, it's 2am! You think I'm going out in my long johns and get a pic of the window?? You're lucky it not colder than +10 or I'd have to find a hat! Besides, my cute little model isn't here. But what the heck, find pics on photobuckette soon. BIGDAVE ps I am going to need brief history of these Bombers for show. Where to find?
the old trucker:
It's gonna be tight....Real tight !!! I finally got the motor in place. Everything looks centered up pretty good. I was thinking about putting an access door on the passenger side also... allowing access to the oil filter. I have the trans lined up where Orin was showing me & I have 15" from the crank pulley to the rear bumper. There's 13" from the fan to the rear bumper. I have 24" from top of the rear axle to the top of the fan blade. I have 2 1/2" clearance between the base pan & the belly pan. I have 11 gauge plate for the belly pan. Tomorrow I'll get the motor mounts welded together & make a mounting bracket for the trans.
Should be lots of room for a radiator. I have being taking pics but I can't get them from the camera to the computer. I'll post them when I figure it out. She's starting to look good.
A Happy Old Trucker

Finally got it to work !!!
Here's the cleats that I can get. It's the one on bottom . This one is bent. It has the same length & same bolt hole spacing. It takes a 7/16 bolt & the one on top takes a 3/8 bolt. He wants $2.00 each & he says the pieces for the back go with it. Anyone got comments on this, Please ??
I have a chance to get rims off a 1949 J5, I was told they are same as mine.

Swamp Dawg what are you using for a muffler in your bomber ?? I looking to have a deep mellow sound to her when under load. Guess I'm old school.
I love the sound of Cam's bomber. In your video, go to min.7;40 of it & listen to that beautiful sound.
PS;; TURN UP THE VOLUME !!!!
A Quivering OT.
