beautiful looking engine, love the hard fuel lines and the bypass filter does it T off the pressure switch and go back to the case via a restriction to the bolt that holds in the dizzy clap that is hollowed out?

  ;D

Looks really good!!!
The smooth front end is awesome!
Don't know if it's just me or maybe the camera angle, but . . . does your front wheel have too much camber?


Title: Re: My attempt at a LOOKER
Post by: pancho villa on August 19, 2013, 16:17:40 pm
Not sure had that gone over by a local mechanic, but I will have an expert look ay that before my Sacramento trip on September 1.
Taking the 58 big window and this vert to Bugarama, see you folks their.


Title: Re: My attempt at a LOOKER
Post by: Zach Gomulka on August 19, 2013, 17:27:54 pm
Lookin good, Outlaw!
If it was me, I would put a taller tire up front to fill up the fender wells, like a 145. Then adjust the beam down a hair to get the ride height back in position.


Title: Re: My attempt at a LOOKER
Post by: nicolas on August 19, 2013, 20:45:37 pm
what width rims do you use to fit these 8.5 tires?


Title: Re: My attempt at a LOOKER
Post by: pancho villa on August 19, 2013, 21:19:05 pm
8.5 tire went on the 5.5 rear wheel   


Zack I must buy more tires        :-\      maybe next month,   those front runners took about 2months to come in

front beam, spindles, 944 brakes all where taken down south to Old Speed should be ready aboot the middle of December.
Not sure if where going with a 3in or 4in on beam, putting 4.5 Fuchs up front.
Removed bulk head and added one 356 front seat only, looks neat I like it.
Bus at the painters, undecided on color.
Going to build a very stout engine, I wanna go first.

The Lamb is a lot of fun to work on it make me happy.

Post by: modnrod on November 29, 2013, 01:52:15 am
That looks great just as it is!

How about keeping it "flat silver" and putting something bright and shiny on just the roof?
It's low enough to see it easily.  ;D


Title: Re: My attempt at a LOOKER
Post by: pancho villa on November 29, 2013, 04:15:00 am

My Lamb came with out seat mechanisms, and locating the original ones was fruitless. Did some research on other Italian cars and found that a car called Lancia and Fiat about the same year had very similar ones like the Jarama and those where out their so I quickly purchased what was available on the web, and with some modifications I was able to join my seats together.
Also located a fuse cover from a fiat. As far as my Bus goes January seems promising to have the rest of the body work complete will post some pictures then.
Also located my original tool and jack bag, took them over to my pal and had them re-popped, and started locating some original tools, I posted them on E=Bay with a small mark up.

Made it to a local car show on Sunday, the 58 put several miles since restoration. The 55 was looking good.
Hung out for several hours then split, went home and brought out the 356 and went to the local skate park, wow now that was fun.
