Toms thumb is up, just can't see it.
Now if you could feed some 75 degrees air in that carb and shield all the 190 plus air off the carb and the air going in, I will never forget what it did to my /6, unbelievable to be honest.
This engine is looking and built beautifully Rusty
Thanks, Mike! I actually have a couple pieces for a cold air intake. I have the carburetor hat and a couple other things. I just need to complete it and something else always comes up. Beautiful cat. What's his name?
Oh, that Tom, 3rd year here with us, he was a kitten when we started taking care of him, he is here to stay.
When I ran fresh cool air to my carb it was the money maker, I am sure the carb was cooler, the air was two times cooler, I always wanted to but something around the cab so the carburetor don't feel the 180 + degrees, because there was a giant difference in just the air, like I advanced the timming or something but didn't. Looking forward to seeing this air moving machine come alive !

You missed your chance....shoulda named him MeowMike! 
Getting the 9" rear end ready. Got my Track Lock installed and the backlash reset. Got my custom axles ordered from Dr Diff today. I put 8 3/4 - Dana 60 housing ends on it so I can keep A body brakes and small bolt pattern. So the axles will be A body SBP on the flange end and Ford 9" 31 spline on the carrier side. Yeah, it's overkill for a slant 6 maybe but I still will have less than 800 bucks in it. Lets see that done with an 8 3/4. Ain't happenin. With the 4.11 gear, it should be a lot of fun after I get the T5 five speed swapped in.

Small turbo slant with a 5spd would be cool as hell
Breaking News: Macon, Ga. Older guy robs bank and flees in an old Dodge of some sort! 
It really would, but I'm a naturally aspirated guy. I'll have a carburetor bolted to my casket.
I say, someone will pour a little gas in that carb, give it some spark... and watch you take off!!!
I'm sure there's a long line waiting to do just that.I say, someone will pour a little gas in that carb, give it some spark... and watch you take off!!!

Then.... on the news.... bank robber flees police. Clocked at as much as 88 mph, at times, in his get a way Dodge or was it a PLYMOUTH!!?????Breaking News: Macon, Ga. Older guy robs bank and flees in an old Dodge of some sort!
88MPH? SO I disappear in a burst of fire?Then.... on the news.... bank robber flees police. Clocked at as much as 88 mph, at times, in his get a way Dodge or was it a PLYMOUTH!!?????
Now that's funny.
All I can say is, if any of yall have the chance to work with Cass Eslick at Dr. Diff, do it. I was sweatin bullets that I measured this thing right, but Cass made SURE we double and triple checked before I pulled the trigger. I "JUST BET" this is the only 5x4 small bolt pattern Ford 9" with Chrysler ends and brakes on it. But here it is. I'm gonna get the drums cleaned up good and painted nice so it'll at least look somewhat good. But Cass is DA MAN! All this just slid together like hot butter. Cass, I cannot thank you enough.

What color are you going to paint the brake drums? Yellow would look nice. 
I know what I want to see on there... but RRR has his own vision for his project.
