So, Greg........ Now that this project is virtually done (by painting the heads that should have been painted the first time around! [K.D.]), what is your "next" project?

I have a '37 Ford - Minotti body 3 window coupe - and I already had the chassis custom built (a year or more ago) - LS6 (probably won't use it but buy a new LS3 or ? - will get 8 stack or blower... was going to be an automatic for cruising - has a Ford 9" on inboard mounted leaf springs and the chassis was C notched for low ride... It's going to be PPG Barcelona Blue (have posted a '32 that is the correct color)... and Recovery room interior... :woot:


Here's the butt ugly hump as it is - the way I bought it for a complete do over project. Some pretty ugly stuff comes out of BAKERSFIELD I can tell ya!

Here's the color it will be painted.

And here's an interior idea I've been slobbering over for a couple years.....

From there website Greg,

RattlerŽ are steel rollers that fit loosely into a specific number of holes. By using an exact mathematical relationship, the rollers will roll forward during compression strokes and roll backward during the power stroke to keep the engine speed variations and vibration, to a minimum.

The only time you may hear the RattlerŽ is when starting and stopping the engine. When you hear the slight "click" you know the RattlerŽ is ready to work. The slight noise could have been eliminated but TCIŽ decided to keep it as a distinguishing trademark.


I had one on my old 383 in the El Camino, I did notice that the engine ran smoother and had less vibration,there pricey but do what there supposed to I guess.

Love the new updates Greg, any other new goodies coming or changing?

:thumbsup:
