Engine Detailing Thread
Frenchy Dehoux:
Great thread discussion when I did the engine and the engine compartment on the Ghia I was 25 years old and if I had to do this engine again I would of had done the connectors with shrink tubing and soldered the ends as well at the time in 1975 no one was really into this type of anal detailing I learned it from Shaky Jake my mentor into the hobby I owe it all to him. If you want to see more engine detailing you can see my latest project my 1932 Hot Rod on our website ( Frenchysrides.com ) As soon as the 32 is done I will be posting pictures of it.
Good discussion
Thanks
Frenchy

Agreed dude cool thread, I have always admired your work, I learned ALOT about "detailing" when I worked at a Ferrari restoration place a few years back now, the kind of suff we had to do was just ridiculas! How about lining up ALL the bolt heads on a 1950's V12 Testarossa motor :o :)

I am sure a lot of people think that I maybe to anal for a lot of thing I do but anybody can have a nice car with nice paint job and interior but the most important is to have some detail which will make the car more appealing and have more taste my 2 cents. Also you can not always have all of the head bolts facing the same way especially if the torque specs is telling you where it stops you cannot go any further. As can be seen on my V12 Lincoln motor in my 32 Ford
Thanks

Yeah I know exactly what you mean, There are Soooooooo many cars out there these days it takes that "Little somthin" to make you take a second look ;) :) Aslo I know what you mean about torque setting etc, I'm mainly talking about rocker cover bolts, ancilaries etc - Not the important stuff ;) :)
