Some sort of craftsman... and more!

What's this, Beal is on cocaine or something. Odd that he's doing so much stuff in a short period of time...

Looking good bud. Can't wait to see what this will turn out like.

I unno, I like the world is ending scenario best.



Well... here be how it sits... got this cold white swill falling out of the sky cant imagine what.
Next will come the front axle..

You're off to a strong start on this one. Lots of possibilities.

Snow? It was 58 degrees here today. Looking good. I am assuming it is a racer?

Racer? I unno... sorta I guess? Im not sure how fast it will go, I just need to be able to go up the hills around here so Ill be happy if it only goes 20. Not very racer like is it...

Ooooh yeeeeeahhhh......

Moving some stuff around today and wondered what this might look like...


I dunno... looks alright?

Looks really good!

Not bad..

Gotta turn the opposed sideways though so you can keep that neat looking hood! Haha.

Looks pretty good.

Hmmm, a plum crazy mower? Don't see that every day...

Yeah, needs a "426 HEMI" badge on the side of the hood to match the colour. Haha.

Beal you heard the man

I suppose Ide have to paint the oppy "HEMI Orange" too huh....

I dig the purple hood with the pin striped flames, and you definitely need to paint the oppy hemi orange to go with that.

Hemi Orange or maybe Go Mango?

Since it's an opposed Briggs you could make a custom decal that says "42.6 HEMI" instead of 426. Haha, that'd be neat

If he bored it out slightly and got some oversized pistons, he could call it a 44.0 lol

Paint it Chevy Orange...maybe!

Naw if it's got a Mopar body colour it's gotta have a Mopar engine colour man! Haha.

Maybe that Cummins red?

Naw, Cummin's suck.

AK, you need a 46 cube in the ford. Now you have a 460 FE

Haha yeah, that'd be neat. But if it's a 42 c.i. I could call it a 42.7, or maybe even a 42.8 Cobra Jet!! Hahaha.

I was going to get all fired up and say no ferd or chivy talk in my thread... then I woudl be a hypocrite... those are ford yt16 fenders.

The more I walk by it with this fenders... the more I think I like it... huh.

Paint... those are just some colors I had and slapped on there. Nothing final or anything.

Got an axle for my peerless 600. Its 3/4in x about 36-40in long. I would have liked to make it say 1in os so, but this was free soooo...

I didnt want to have to rely on the c-clips to hold the wheels on, so I decided to drill and tap the ends. This axle is hard, but not quite as hard as the average transaxle axle.

Well so much for this tap... doah.



Got another tap and got both ends tapped. Whoo.

Nice Beal! Yeah bolts on the end would definitely be more reliable than the E-clips they usually have.
