Today I dropped to the rebuilder my starter, my uncle's starter, and the generator. That was after my friend and I spent some time mocking up various fan/carrier/generator/intake combinations and came to the unpleasant realization that the cool fans I have all appear to be late ('49-'53) fans, and won't work with my combination - they're too close to the radiator.
So I put in a call to my parts friend to secure a '46-'48 fan, carrier, and lower double-sheave crank pulley so I basically run a stock setup.
Earlier in the day, I met my friend and his brothers for lunch, and went and toured the local brother's secret lair of motorcycles and more. Very cool.
Finally, I closed out the day by talking with another friend, the one who assembled Twice Lucky's body together. He's got a line on a complete rearend out of a formerly flathead-powered Ford. Supposed to be in great shape, and for a great price. We'll see tomorrow what comes of that. I can use it under the current hot rod, the next hot rod, or the next one...
