Five years down the road after you got it where you want it, the bad taste of the original price given by this DB will be forgotten. You will be enjoying a sweet ride. Congratulations on what looks like an amazing hot rod.
Great introduction, thanks for that! Looks like overall you got a really good car. And I do not care if she's across the pond. Seems like she will be taken care of and that's all the matters. Cheers!
A 700cfm carb (or a little more cfm - I was always told to double the displacement of the engine to determine a good start point for cfm of the carb), 10.5 pistons (from early year 340), a little head and intake work on the ports, headers, a proper camshaft for either a stick or automatic...
I had thought the same thing on a few parts and pieces during my restoration. I figured if what I put on now lasts 25 years, we're good. I doubt I'll be around driving it when I am 85. Let the next person spend the extra cash. My 2 cents. Pun intended. Cheers!
Welcome to the show, from your neighbor in Idaho. I left Sac, CA in June of 2023. I see the wood stove, so you must be up North and not effected by the fires hopefully. I agree with Challenger RTA, you seem to be off to a good start. Cheers!
Welcome from across the pond. Ha, I have a tach in a storage box just like yours. Question, do you folks run 1/8 and 1/4 mile over there or is it metric distance? Just curious, not trying to be an a$$. Cheers!
I used Por15 on everything that was rusty and would be covered/unseen. Probably similar to the Rust-oleum product as it creates a bullet proof finish as it binds with the rust.
If approved "as-is", I'll put my money on "ex-spouse". Hey, you need at least one closet. And you need more lateral on the front. Spendy to have a swiss cheese garage door wall.
