bill-e-boy Posted December 18 Share Posted December 18 Worked on the RH side headers. Different challenges such as starter motor and engine mounts dictated that the dumps would be at the front so the headers are not symmetrical. Got some collectors made up from heat shrink shrunk over a former. Collectors being made up RH side header with super tight clearances. I had to notch the motor mount and relieve guard a little On a roll so I made up the front pipes from 2mm solder. I had prepped the kit mufflers by drilling out the inlet and outlets to 2mm after cleaning up. I am liking using solder for exhausts as the dimensions are consistent, round and easy to bend. Time for a mock up check the engineering. Thanks for looking 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedpro Posted December 18 Share Posted December 18 Headers and exhaust look like they are working out so far. Nice work Bill! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carnut Posted Saturday at 07:50 PM Share Posted Saturday at 07:50 PM I did a bit of tidying up a few loose ends on the frame-chassis as well as some more cleanup work on the body. I could use a little bit of help here, I am trying to find a good location for the gas filler door and I’ve got an area penciled in where I think I could put it but I’m not really liking the location. Do any of you guys out there have any good ideas for this? Because the intention here is is that the gas tank is either gonna be behind or underneath the rear seat. I would appreciate any comments and help especially in this area. Thanks for looking.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill-e-boy Posted Sunday at 03:09 AM Share Posted Sunday at 03:09 AM I too am thinking where best to put a filler as I have done away with the original tank. The tank location would be under the rear seat. My thoughts are below the belt line as then the fill pipe would be behind the seat - about a third of the way down. Being a modern take on the build a filler door would be good or one of those flashy filler caps like Kindig does. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a modern take on the build a filler door would be good or one of those flashy filler caps like Kindig does. That’s one of the main reasons why I’m having to relocate my gas filler-cap too. After my modification of the rear frame rails, kicking them up, It eliminates the gas tank stock location, the most common place to put It is underneath or behind the rear seat. So I’m exploring a couple of different options. Like maybe behind the license plate make the plate a flip down sort of thing I don’t know. Keep going on your 32. I’m really liking your details that you’re getting into and your fabrication. It’s very inspiring, keep at it and finish it up. Please. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill-e-boy Posted Sunday at 05:52 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:52 PM Thanks for the kind words Michael. I kicked my frame rails up so that I could get the Lil John rear end in and have the wheels fill the rear guards. Then came the question of where to put the fuel tank. As usual one modification here then creates a whole bunch of issues there Build time over the next couple of weeks is going to be patchy as it is now the summer silly season down these ways Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all Cheers Bill-e-Boy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
