On the rear axle of that NASCAR chassis is an oil pump to circulate the rear axle oil through an oil cooler. The pump is driven by a toothed belt that is in turn driven by a pulley on the driveshaft yoke. Usually the cooler (a small radiator) is mounted in the back of the floor of the car. It will generally have a fan unit mounted over it to take air from inside the car and blow it down through the cooler and out through a screened opening in the floor to under the car. I love that 29 Roadster Pickup. That rear axle is yes... a Halibrand Quick Change. That early style used Ford V8 ring and pinion gears in the Halibrand housing. Powered comes in from the driveshaft. Passes under the axle using a long shaft all the way to the back. Then on the end of that long shaft is a gear that drives another gear above it that's on the end of the pinion shaft. Then the pinion shaft takes power forward to the ring gear on the axle. These 2 gears at the back are the quick change gears. You can easily and quickly take off the rear cover plate to get to these 2 gears at the back. They are easy to remove and replace with a different pair of gears to change the rear axle gear ratio with messing with the ring and pinion and fussing with getting them set up and meshing properly. This axle setup uses the axle tubes on the sides from the Ford rear axle assembly. There are other later Halibrand Quick change axles like the bigger, beefier one found in the Monogram sprint car model kits from the 1980s and newer. Looks like I'm setting myself up as the rear axle expert here. I'm definitely not that. Just sharing what I DO know at no extra charge. 😎 I forget what that frame your using under that Model A body came from. The parallel front leaves are definitely not Model A which uses transverse leaf springs front and back. So please refresh our fading feeble old guy memories what that frame came from. Your reference to taking the car apart and sending parts to the blaster is cool. As a retired fabricator (race cars of many sorts, hot rods, muscle cars, etc.) I have done that many times. Build a car. Then take it all apart and send pieces like the frame to be chemical dipped and others to the blaster to prep them for fresh paint and final assembly. I build models the same way. Do all the fabrication then take it apart and paint it. Many model builders and many of my full scale customers want to go straight for paint. Or send the car for paint when I'm in the middle of fabricating stuff that will affect the paint. I was just looking at pictures last night from a 67 Mustang road racer projectI worked on about 12 years ago. Photos were from a test session at Willow Springs Raceway. I saw the pretty paint with flat black on the rear fender because the tires available now are different from those available in the 1960s. The rear fenders had been replaced because somebody had hacked the original quarter panels and added huge fender flares. So they needed to be replaced. I wanted the car to be tested BEFORE paint. Cost the customer a couple thousand to get the rear fenders re-painted after reworking them to fit. There were other paint issues too.🙄
Thanks Dusty, I love the detail of the Nascar kits such as the pump for the rear end cooler. I'm a long time ( from childhood ) Racecar Junkie, Thanks to my Daddy. Have a good safe weekend Dusty, I appreciate ya commenting.
Thanks for the awesome shout out, I really appreciate it. It sucks that the glass for the Earnhardt car is messed up. You may be able to sand and polish it out though. The little pick up is going to be cool as either a gasser or an altered. There should be some useful extras in the Mooneyes kit.
