Big thanks for the tip on the flathead engine cradle from Stumpys. Just talked with Kurt and I am getting one next week with casters. Made in the USA! We need more people and products like this!:D

Just received an engine stand adaptor from Kurt a few days ago. Will hopefully be using it next weekend.

They look sharp, I could use a set myself, can you provide his contact information? By the way, I love the gold Flathead. Vic

Kurt's web site is: http://stumpysfabworks.zoomshare.com/ As you can see I got the casters too, makes it a snap to move around. On his site he has a contact link and just shoot him an email. The cradle was $45 and casters $40 plus shipping, well worth it and like I said, made in the USA:D

Vic, forgot to say thanks on the comment for the engine, I really like the gold color too. I think when the car is done in the deep blue color its going to look sweet! Still have to do some work on the motor, new clutch and install skips waterpumps and then it will be a waiting game for the car to get painted!

Guy's, I think Stumpy copied my design ;) and is now getting rich while I try to peddle old rusted Ford V8 pieces and parts for pennies on the street corners of Rising Sun, MD :eek::D;);) LOLOL

Check it out.... I made this stand about twelve years ago from "scrap" parts being discarded by my previous employer :rolleyes:. Now, if my previous employer only knew what a machinist friend of mine threw into the scrap bin while I waited near by to hear the sound of that "scrap" hitting the bin, and within seconds I salvaged those nice scrap CNC machined parts that just happened to be exactly like my detailed sketches :D. Those expensive wheels with locks were also declared scrap as well by another coworker/friend and they just happened to fit perfectly....oh how I miss the good Ole days of being gainfully employed ;) NOT!!

The engine in these pictures was originally built for a '35 tudor sedan but instead now resides in my '35 fordor sedan and is running nicely (knock on wood) :) but with future plans/hopes of some day switching it back to the original engine that was pulled from the fordor because it become a very heavy smoker (approx. equivalent to 10 packs of non filtered Camels/day ;))

Lookin' good John, now I think I'll need two of the engine stands...
