This weekend's ridiculous project

Post by Kevin Pharis » Sun Jul 28, 2024 8:26 pm

Not exactly sure why… but made a new side cover for the Akron-Hed motor this weekend. Was inspired by a picture of a HAL port cover for a model A motor. I tried to adapt the design to the T, but my Fronty water manifold was in the way… so a valve side cover it became! Here is a pic of the side cover right out of the mill

And another after a crappy polishing job and installed

Been a long road to this point already. Hopefully polishing the intake manifold will be the last project for a while on this motor

Kevin I’m appalled, your abuse to us that don’t have your skill is excessive and your penance should be to crate it up and send to me once completed free of charge so I can dispose of it in a freshly built speedster.

Incredible work my friend!
