Flathead Engine Pics
My 4th of July weekend was spend putting my newly built flatty into my chassis. I'm going to try to post my first picture to a post here, there's more in my gallery. I'm very pleased with how it turned out...

I've found the best time to rile the neighbors up is just after the 11:00 PM news ends or at 4:15 AM with Lights and Sirens going.

Flat Ernie wins the prize (although I'm too broke after finishing the engine to furnish the prize!). They're Offy 400 heads. I taped off everything except the fins, painted them black and let dry. Then took a foam backed sanding disk on my drill and took the paint off the very tops of the fins and just down the very sides of the fins on the front and back of the heads. Cleaned up the paint line with a sanding pen walmart sells for sanding out rock chips. After that clear coated them for the finished look. The engine itself is painted black, and the rest is either aluminum or chrome or stainless, I'm sort of taking the "black and chrome" theme with the truck. I guess I'll have to wait a while to fire her up, having to leave town for a week with the wife so the neighborhood will get a break.
