Re: Square 10
Because I am calling this my Square-10 build, I am making things square when possible. Am even considering having a carpenter's square design logo displayed in some way.

Re: Square 10
Artwork comes in many forms. High-rise shifter mount for the square 10 made from square tubing and a test of possible color

Re: Square 10
The square 10 will be a bare bone, stripped down, light as possible hot rod.

Re: Square 10
Frank, Thank you. It is a simple, basic, bracket toy for local tracks. It will run about a 6.30 ET with a 383 SBC.

Re: Square 10
Around twenty years ago, I considered replacing my old sealed power manual ring grinder with an electric model. Each time I would consider doing so, I would convince myself I would only do a few more engines, so I would get by with what I have. Well, now I am age 77, and it is a slow, tedious, time-consuming task with the old manual tool. But I will only be doing a few more engines. Old fellows, old tools, old ways that define me. I average about 45 minutes per cylinder to gap rings, assemble the rod to the piston, work with the pin clips, and install the piston and torque rod. Then, a break to look things over, ponder, daydream, and perform other necessary duties. So, it is really an hour per cylinder. And this is with everything already clean, already checked, and everything laid out.
Also note my 50 year old ring squaring tool. Larry Woodfin |
