shes a ROLLER. Junkyard roadster chassis and engine mock up Flathead V8 AV8 build.

The Junkyard Roadster chassis mock up phase 1. We got the chassis to a somewhat rolling point and did a first fit of the Flathead V8 engine. It's a tight fit and we quickly find out my original plan is not going to work.

I`m watching your build as I too run a (what I think) post 1940 jalopy ,but with a 4 banger .When it comes time to bleed your rear brakes run a tube up above trunk level full of fluid to help get the air out, we had a bit trouble getting the air out from the under floor master cylinder until we done this .Great channel and I wish I had your patience to film stuff.

Great tip. Thank you.

Good show man.

[@Maine_A_S]

Thanks. Appreciate you watching.

Run a 46-48 rear radius rods. F1 box you can also run a 53-56 F100 box.

I decided to go all pre-war so I'm pretty limited on my choices.

Why dont you use the 34 spindles that came with the front-end

[@Maine_A_S]

I d8d end up using the early spindles. I was going to use the later ones because the brakes will bolt right into them and I was considering trying to use a cross steer setup.

What year rear drums and backing plates

[@Maine_A_S]

I think the drums are 40-42. The backing plates are 39-41.

Is “Maine A’s” supposed to be pronounced like mayonnaise 🤔

[@Maine_A_S]

Haha. Yes, pretty much.
