Love the updates and progress you're making Dave.
You should share some more of the build on YouTube, and have your wife as the "straight man" on there. My son started a YT channel a couple years ago and he's had one of his videos go viral that now has over 311 million views and he has made about $3,000. Might help you recoup some of your build money. Can't wait to see more.

That's guys! Man, maybe you're right Mark.
 . I'll have to investigate this and possibly see if my production team (Kelly) may be able to help out. My technical AV skills (that's audio-visual to the younger guys in the room. See, back in the day, when we watched a program in class the teacher called the AV department and a guy with two t-shirt sizes too small came in wheeling a monitor coupled to a Beta player (VHS if it was private school) that we all watched a program on. Yeah, we had it bad. Man, where do I end this thought bubble sentence and get back to my regular topic? I guess here....) skills are severely lacking. But, I'll investigate this..... Yes, there's a pilot shortage and it's because we all have car hobbies!!  Charley, you a funny guy. I wouldn't even last after the initial pilot show! Wait, get it? Pilot? I know.... See? This is why it wouldn't work!  Thank you all for the compliments and help on this! Engine is here as is the transmission but where am I? Richmond, VA of course on a trip. More later this week! Cheers  Dave

Man, think of all the things one could do with those royalties!
 Meh.... Then I'd have to change my name and get a tattoo or something. I'll stay anonymous for now. NOS Buick 215 with fitted pistons in the original shipping crate, all NOS internals, some gently used parts round out the powerplant! Exciting! The 89ish Camaro T-5 with the S-10 tail shaft rounds out the package. It's in, details on all that over the weekend. Love how this matches the factory original engine not only in cubic inches, but size, weight, and asthetics! Cheers Dave

The mighty 215 is sitting on jack stands and wood blocks right now, and while very effective, don't think that's gonna hold up for a Charley burnout when the time comes.
So it's motor mount time! I'm using the factory block mounts and will fabricate the frame mounts which will be bolt on. I want this removable just in case the motor has to come out when the 392 Hemi goes in. Speaking of that, a tidbit of history: the 507's original motor was supposed to be a 4 carbed Hemi! Yep, it's true!I did a paper mock up to get the initial pieces sized correctly and then welded things up. There's a large bolt that passes through so I installed a sleeve to prevent crushing when the bolt gets tightened against the mount. Here's the mount in place. Final pieces will be the bolts holding the mount to the frame. They'll jamb nuts welded into the frame which will allow easy installation and removal. The center frame crossmember was notched to provide tailshaft clearance and I also widened that to provide a place for the exhaust to route parallel with the tunnel. The transmission crossmember will be bolt on as well for easy servicing. See? Already thinking it's going to break before I even finish it! You know what BMW stands for, right? Bring Money With when you head in for service!  More to come Cheers Dave

I have two steering wheels that I'm debating on using. One is an old aluminum boat wheel that's very similar to the 507s. The other is an older tractor wheel that's very similar too. Both will need hubs installed so they can mount to my column. The boat wheel is 15” while the tractor wheel is 18” which is original size. The larger wheel has an identical feel, spoke design/angle, and is covered in bakelite. But I want to see how this will fit being 18”, so I decided to install a hub. Both wheels will need one done to it no matter which one I choose.
Step one was too bore out the center hub. Coincidentally, the center is already recessed with a 2" diameter hole which means my 2" hole saw will be perfectly centered boring the hole all the way through. The aftermarket adapter is identical in size to the recessed notches on the hub. Once I trim these down, the wheel will fall right up against the column base. A perfect fit! Woohoo!! Something came out right!!  More to come on this shortly after I get the hub secured Cheers Dave
