The Offey motor is what I want but the mercedes motor has a similar look and a lot of power.

You got some great shots, thanks for sharing. You even got a few of my Benz powered RPU.

We made it to the lonestar round up and back. One of the guys in our crew twisted an oil pump drive shaft on the way down in his Ford small block in his T bucket. It took about an hour to fix and get back on the rode. Other than that we all had a great time. I put about 700 miles on mine during...

It is complete now and damn, what a difference. I used a willwood floor mounted brake pedal and mastercylinder flipped upside down and bolted through the firewall. Terry brazed up a conversion fitting to go into the metric slave cylinder then to a 3/16" flexible line then back to a hard line...

It is a Manual. I just picked up the drive shaft this evening and hope to finish it all up by Friday night or Saturday morning.

My little project has been on the road for a year now with a weak automatic transmission. I have been thinking that it is time to trade up to a four speed, so i have been collecting parts and finally got started this weekend. The trans is now in and I will finish up the crossmember this week. I...

The grill and floors look great. Jimmy sent me some good shots of your new wheel well openings and they look awsome. You need to school me on metal forming when I get back. Keep up the good work and tell everyone hello for me.

Welcome from an east Texas boy who is currently cought in west Texas (Plainview) for work.

They keep changing and adding things so it will be a couple more weeks, but I am working 7 days a week to get it knocked out and come home. At the rate you are knocking this project out, i will be expecting a ride when I get home.

That looks F&$%ing AWSOME Terry. How about a hood top to match?

Shes really starting to come together man. I cant wait to get out of this constant sand storm out here and see all of your hard work in person. Today I am out on the job swinging a sledge hammer busting out concrete, digging ditches, and building forms for concrete. What a way to spend my...

Its a damn good thing your metal fab skills are better than Jons picture taking skills. It sure is looking great man. Now get busy on them floors. I expect you to get them complete today, since it only took you about 15 minutes in the binder.

Way to go on getting that cowl. It looks very solid. I think that it will put you miles ahead. Stay warm in your big ol heated shop. Lucky.

Why am I not seeing updates man. I am out here in the middle of no where freezing to death and waiting on your progress pics. What was Jimmys thoughts on the coupe? Next time you see him, tell him I said &%$# @$! and when is the sedan delivery going to be mobile. Tell him at least mine will get...

I have used painless, ron francis, speedway, haywire, and scratch built, all with good luck. The only trouble I ever had was self infickted. Buy any inexpensive harness such as the speedway or haywire and do a little research on the net for how to make good solid connections and take your time...

Its like you always say, "it's all about the stance". And as usual, you nailed it. Keep the pics coming.

Welcome from East Texas.

Rumford, Thats too bad. It has been pretty cool weather here in Texas for a couple of weeks and I can still drive as long as I am bundled up. Took my little girl to a soccer game the other morning when it was 31 degrees outside. Of course we dont see much snow down here except for last year...

The motor is out of a 280 SE Mercedes. Originally it was a fuel injected version. I had the bungs welded and put a carb manifold on it. It is about 200-210 HP and weight is 2020 lbs. Its pretty fun. I bought the bike from my brother 16 years ago. I modified it from a stock low rider to what it...

I am new to this site. I have hung out on a couple of others that were not a good fit because of the type of truck I have. Oh well, I think the folks here are more open and less judgemental. Anyway, I have played over the years with a 34 pick-up, 54 pick-up, 40 pick-up and my old shovel head...
