That radiator shroud came out really good! The result is looking great.

I'm waiting on paint that had to order for finishing up the radiator grill shell and fan shroud, I decided to get another one of my heavy pices of equipment on wheels.

Pic 1) Somewhat build related with the 33 in the back ground is of my air compressor with it's new wheel cart.

Pic 2) close up view of the roller cart

Pic 3) Another view of the off set to keep the compressor low to the ground.

Had to build a fuel tank for the 33, one of many items that didn't come with the purchase.

Only had 5 leaks, I was expecting more.

Very nice work!
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

That tank is nice! I wouldn't think to try it.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

What material is the tank made from?
I'd need to build a tank for my Buick too, and have been thinking of making it from normal
19 gauge steel sheet metal, since I haven't ever welded aluminum before.

Tank size is right at 14 gallons

16/ga. cold roll sheet steel

I was going to do either aluminum or stainless, but cost made me go the steel route.

Got around to getting my gauges installed, but first I had to fix the butcher job that was done to the actual dash.

Those are nice gauges. Good repair job.

So many dashes got butchered up thru the years for gauges etc. Nice repair, and good looking gauges. Those look like the style i got for mine, i used Autometer classic Hot Rods. Are yours Stewart Warner?
