Okay, so a trite title, I fully admit - but apt nonetheless.
Today I got a bunch of fan parts from my Okie hot rod friend (a title of respect, you must understand) "for my birthday" (and next year's, too). I need enough fan parts to cobble together the best combination that will hang below the intake and above the distributor, while being centered in the radiator, and out far enough that I can use a double crank pulley (this is shaping up to be another post to drive the non-car crazies cross-eyed).
Tonight while dinner was cooking, I liberated the fan carrier stud from the rusting '49 truck intake on the side of the house (lesson to self: never throw anything away) and what I think will become the hot rod's breather/oil filler, since the late flathead fuel pump mount/fitting thing should be short enough to just clear the Model T's firewall (well, with maybe a little "relief by hammer" work). Also learned today that 3 of my 4 rear brake shoes will work; 1 was too far gone - need to find a replacement.
Tomorrow is errand running in preparation for Saturday's thrash with my welding friend.
