I got the instructions for the ’34 Roadster the other day, so I jumped right in on it! Sadly, I repeated what I used to with model cars, and the full size equivalent of getting glue on the windshield, and am now mopping up the mess.
I had ordered some 5/8″ LH jamb nuts for the front shock links from Speedway Motors, and some rear shock mount steps. The order came today, and all excited to hook my Houdaille front shocks, I made the connector link (5/8″ LH all thread) and opened the pack of jamb nuts. They wouldn’t screw on, and it was obvious when I looked, they were RH jamb nuts. On top of that, I only ordered one shock stud, thinking they came in pairs, so a couple of errors on that order. I need to get some steering shaft and a couple of U-joints anyway, so it can be steered, so I’ll be calling tonight to set things righ
Meanwhile, the trans tunnel I made out of cardboard is ‘glassed, it looks and fits fine. I succumbed to peer pressure and swapped the single 4 bbl. intake and Holley carb for the ancient Offy 2-4 intake and the pair of Edelbrock 500 carbs I bought for it. I ordered a small diameter electronic distributor, wires and coil which should be here tomorrow, so that’ll be ready to fire up.
