Nice work. Love how you radius the air bag plate, nice gusset work too

Made my own hats for some 11" rotors, the ones I bought made the track width 1.5" wider and I was having a hard time finding anything that was affordable.
The original 9-in Ford mustang 2 rotors are the correct width for my needs so I machined them down for 11" bolt on rotors.

Pickup is pushed in the corner for a bit while I finish the 53 and the Lincoln...

I'm slowly working on the Lincoln as promised parts continue to trickle in weeks late and one of the rooms flooded a couple months ago was my reloading room and I've been spending way too much time building new benches.
Hope to be back on this soon.

 

[Michael B]

Sorry to hear about your flooding issues J. I hope the benches were the only thing affected by the water.

 

[bobm]

So no reloads no shooting?? Just wanted to hear from my BUDDY . To quiet lately

Yeah Da Lincoln is taking more time than it should, parts not fitting like advertised and Holladay's have slowed me down a bit over here..
Still a bunch of stuff happening on both projects just nothing worth posting about.
Hope you have a great Christmas!

Question on the amount of tilt or angle of the engine front to back? I've been told somewhere @ 4 to 6 degrees towards the back, is that right or does it matter?

A lot of thought went into it so far, just awesome!

 

[J Mack]

I've been told somewhere @ 4 to 6 degrees towards the back,

Traditionally yes I have always angled a couple of degrees down in the rear...
On the 53 and this one the pinion is higher at ride height then the center line of the crank so they get set at zero.

WOW! That motor is riding low...
