    You’re living the dream my friend ! Hot rods , a woman who loves hot rods, a son who will grow up around hot rods. Plus you live above a hot rod garage , what else could a gearhead ask for … 👍🏻

    Nice video. Thanks for the tip on holding the thermostat in place. I always wondered about that.

    Great solution for covering the hole. Much more elegant than what most of us would have come up with.

    Great vid Lee, I have never heard of the o Getters, but looked them up on you tube, and as a big fan of Brian Setzer, I love Rockabilly, AND as a guitar player since 1960, I still rock with the best of them , even at 80 :-) Love your show Lee, and always watch....:-)

    Nice work again! Yeah, The Go Getters are a swedish band. I think i've seen their gig somewhere, maybe in Sweden or in my home country, Finland. I used to go to see bands when i was younger, but not so much at these days. Well, keep up the good work!

      You are correct. But from your videos posts it just looks different. I’m sure it is just me I always wanted a hot rod so at 69 I started and now at 71 close to the finish of a 32 roadster 1970 style. Not a member of a car club and none of my friends are into hotrods, need to get connected in my area.

    You're about to enter a dimension. It is a dimension as vast as space and timeless as infinity. Somewhere between light and sound - between science and superstition. And it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination - it is an area known as - the LGKustoms zone!

    lots of fun doing small detail stuff ... i seriously doubt you need the second clamp on the radiator hose , on the thermostats , if you have a heater leave it alone but other wise cut the tower and pull the plunger and spring out , it would be a shame to burn up that motor from a stuck thermostat and last the plugs did look good i would run a tank or two of high octane to clear up the black carbon - nice car

    • @LGKustoms
      @LGKustoms  6 місяців тому

      I have run this engine without thermostats before and it wouldn’t build enough heat to move the temperature gauges.

    .030 gap is good. Magnetos like the tight gap. The spark alternates direction with a mag. That is to say that the spark will go from the center electrode to ground on one plug. Then the next plug in the firing order will fire from the ground electrode to the center electrode. So if you ever pull your plugs to check them. Keep track of them and reinstall them 1 cylinder off in the firing order to keep the wear even.

    Ay Shannon you better invest in a cd player. Cus you no what!! Anyway I’m sure you could sell them at a swap meet. And lux looks a lot bigger. So maybe. I don’t no it’s the thought that counts right. Really looking forward to seeing you drag racing. Can you feel any different from your last set up on the car Lee? Take care best wishes. Tim.

    Had to laugh about the CD's no player, my wife went to the local thrift store here in Nanaimo came home big box of CD's "look what I got only 10 cents each!" I said we don't have a CD player, oh she says but I'll play them in my car, Barb you car doesn't have a cd player either, oh well maybe I can sell them for $1 each, I gave up put on the self with all the other redundant junk.
