Re: my project is underway- new pics 8/28
ok- time for an update. the head is still at the machine shop. i have had to take them three sets of valve seals so far. needless to say, i dont have my head back yet. the block is there as well. i have found a good cheap place to buy my stainless exhaust pieces. gonna do a complete exhaust in stainless, should look nice. took the intake manifold and the valve cover and masked off the high spots and painted both pieces with black wrinkle paint. i then polished the high spots with jewelers rouge. it looks sweet. will post some pics when the sun is out.

Progress on the car is looking really great. Haven't been following this one for a while, and you've made quite some progress

That's a nice turbine.
What kind of machinery is it connected with? A generator or compressor unit?

Very nice. Is this a steamturbine or gasturbine unit?
This type of industry is where i work too. I am not a mechanic but the operator who is controling the unit.
