    Re-motoring a lakes bucket style street rod project called Cassi.

    That looks great, wish I had room in those positions. Perhaps I could steal your concept for my next set, and modify it to suit. I'm piloting the build with a 248, and have a 263 to play with for the next mill. I'm using an after market flange set put out by a private party, it's a little...

    Re-motoring a lakes bucket style street rod project called Cassi.

    OK, Kiddies, first round on the exhaust. Cobbled together a log(ish) type over three days for the first set-up. Ran it into a home brewed muffler inside an old truck stack. The stack'll be permanent, but I'll likely eventually do a better (proper) set of headers. Day one ........ Day...

    Re-motoring a lakes bucket style street rod project called Cassi.

    Weaseled in another work session. Modified the oil pan for the 28* tilt, and fitted the pump pick up to the new angle. Defeated the "floating" feature, keeping it flush with, and right at, the bottom. Exhaust up next. :cool:

    Re-motoring a lakes bucket style street rod project called Cassi.

    Wow, just shy of ten months since I got to work on Cassi last. Looks like my life's finally settling down though, and I got to spend three days in the garage on Cassi. Decided to do some work on the dash, needed something visual to get back in the game feel. The cowl's a '24 Nash, and I found...

    Re-motoring a lakes bucket style street rod project called Cassi.

    Well, it's been awhile. Fairly busy with Rose Parade float work at the moment, but managed to tinker on Cassi a bit at least. Added a radiator shell brace and a fuel rail. Fuel delivery system now complete. Thinking about cobbling up choke linkages next, then on to the exhaust pipes. Still...

    Re-motoring a lakes bucket style street rod project called Cassi.

    Well, some effing virus hauled off and messed up my plans for awhile. However, in the process of clearing out my old ceramics shop area (where Cassi's parts were stashed) I had no place else to move'em, so had to paste'er back together for now. In lieu of actual progress (stymied for now)...

    Modifying the thread layout.

    I see some of the threads listing their oldest posts at the top. Is there a way to have the threads list posts with the newest at the top?

    Am I going blind?

    Looked it over again. OK, it only appears to be a problem with posts older than a given date. Likely a victim of the new set-up.

    Am I going blind?

    Interesting. There's a quite obvious link in the post I just posted, but not in my older posts. I'll go look again.

    Am I going blind?

    I can't seem to find a link to edit my posts once I've posted'em. Given my lack of skill at typing & computers, this's likely to become a problem sooner or later. Would one of you be kind enough to advise me?

    She's an unfinished returning project that I originally built with the slant six in the pics. This time, of course, Buick straight eight powered. A '40 248 presently as set-up and initial mill, mounted at 28* slant to starboard (similar to it's old 30* slant six). With a '50 263...

    Re-motoring a lakes bucket style street rod project called Cassi.

    Nice to see the site back, was having withdrawal symptoms. Finished up the carb linkages during the outage. Pulled the mock-up pb904 out & sold it. Will have the intended pb904 out to the shop I use for slush pumps this year sometime. Plan to get a pic or two of the bell adapter up before it...

    Re-motoring a lakes bucket style street rod project called Cassi.

    Well, Kiddies, all the hoopla from this year's Rose Parade was finally over by the end of February, but I had to take most of March to make some drive train changes to our float chassis. But ....... at last I'm back to the garage. Got the "common" shaft cobbled up on the throttle linkage...

    Re-motoring a lakes bucket style street rod project called Cassi.

    Got in a few more play days, so did a bit more on the throttle linkage. Also got the rear brakes & parking brake functional (fronts need new drums yet), fuel system complete from tank through pump, and roll bar added. Then rolled'er up to the HAMBster's trailer so I could bring the HAMBster...

    Re-motoring a lakes bucket style street rod project called Cassi.

    Managed a bit of playtime today, so added the balance tubes to the intake. Also started swapping parts from the 6 garbage SUs (I got in a parts swap awhile back) to paste together 4 that'll work. Number stamped the intake runners & carb bases so's I can keep'em in order in the future as well...

    Re-motoring a lakes bucket style street rod project called Cassi.

    ​Well, got a couple more days to fiddle about in the garage. So ........ cobbled up the spoon gas pedal, and did the initial carbs mount. Used a head flange set I found through the site here, some EMT I had laying about, and a bit of plate for the carb flanges. All in all a nice couple days...

    Re-motoring a lakes bucket style street rod project called Cassi.

    Also did a (very) preliminary mock-up of the carbs. They'll actually mount about 5" lower in finish position, but the manifold (to be) length looks pretty close. :cool:

    Re-motoring a lakes bucket style street rod project called Cassi.

    Finished up the new tunnel. Wound up a total of ten pieces, most I've ever had to put into a tunnel. Had to wiggle my way around the 904 and still leave room for a gas pedal & foot. Won't have room for the bottom pivot pedal I like though, have to settle for a spoon style & heel rest. Also...
