Under my 52 Hornet (pictures)
-
My gas tank is taking a very long time to repair. According to the radiator shop, it is filthy, and they need to get it spotless for the liner to bond correctly. The gas tank is holding up the exhaust work. They don't want to weld under the car until the gas tank is back in place.
I took the chance to take a few pictures under the car. To see the pictures just click on the link below, and select "Slideshow" in the top left corner.

It is hard to say no to that
Here are a couple of older pictures. New pictures will have to wait for the car to come back down to earth.

Just a thought - I'd change the oil filter lines to copper or other metal type tubing with the correct fittings. As, I'd be worried about oil and temp breaking down the rubber lines that might result in debris in the oil or the lines collapsing.
Thats the way the filter was plumbed on the 50 Super 6 I had - hard copper lines... -
That undercarriage is about as clean as any that I have ever seen. Look forward to seeing the car in Spokane. I prefer to have the gas tank in place and all the lines hooked up (and sealed tight) before I start welding on an exhaust system. That way I know where my fumes and any possible leaks might be and there are no supprises. That is only me though.....Brownie

I had this discussion with Walt, and he assures me that the hoses that came with his kit are rated for use well beyond what they will see. I do like the idea of how copper would look, but it will have to be added to the nice to have list, which is pretty long.[b]Michael S.[/b]

Don't worry about the oil lines I sent with the kit. Those lines are what is used in today's new car as the transmission oil cooler lines. Made for 300 pounds pressure and 400 degree temperature.
