well, it's just crazy how many nice/cool trucks are in the TOTM this month...it really is a tough choice, & all are deserving of their own award...that said, i'm not saying which one got my vote

Alan's Classic · 04-24-2012, 10:23 PM

I'm not going to quote everyone, but I do want to say thanks to everyone for all the comments, votes and support. I really appriciate everything. Lets keep it going.

Still tinkering with the timing. I swapped out the dizzy springs last night. I got to run it today and they are too light. The advance starts coming in around 730 rpm. Which kicks the idle up to 880. I will swap out to the next heavier spring.

Also noticed the temp gauge gets to 3/4 and the fan kicks on then cools to 1/2 gauge. While running down the road and at the end of a 15 mile trip the temp is at 3/4 gauge.

I've always heard that an electric will block the air moving while going down the road. I might install a toggle temporarily to check this theory. If that is the case I can cut some relives in the shroud so air can bypass the electric fan. I see those reliefs on late model cars.

i had the same problem when i installed my fan and shroud it would run warmer going down the road than when idling, i removed the shroud and it reversed so when i go back together with mine it will have a few reliefs cut in it. and by the way, it looks as though you have the totm wrapped up, congrats

Outstanding work on a beautiful truck. You got my vote too!

Thanks you Sir!! The fat lady hasn't sang yet.

When I cut the reliefs I'd like to put a flap over them so when I'm stopped they close with the vacumm from the fan.

haha, i was thinking the same...now that everything is pretty much completed, he will spend all his free time looking for photogenic spots to show off the fruits of his labor....while i'm very happy to see these kinda builds come together, i'm always a little bummed when the "movie" is over

....now we gotta get some new projects lined up for Alan so we can continue to watch his artistry!

chad64chevy · 05-01-2012, 09:38 AM

^^ i agree!! nice pictures alan, i like the last four the best!! small towns with old buildings always make good backgrounds in pictures i think!! in the first black an white picture if you lighten it up a bit like the last picture that would be a really cool picture!
