Project Pinky: Ep 3, Engine and trans mock up.

[@JohnW1711stock]

I built a similar Hot Rod. I believe the bottom of the trans pan was equal with the bottom of the frame at the same point. I had good ground clearance even with a very low stance.

Hey....great channel, great project!!! I will tell all my hot rod gang about your vids and keep up the good work

[@beatnikgarage2153]

Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate the sharing!

With your sound quality, I couldn't tell if you had accounted for the 3degree tilt required in the motor for leveling the carb. Love the direction you're headed.

[@beatnikgarage2153]

Yessir’ it’s in there. 👍 Thank ya!

[@garycamara9955]

It will look cool.

[@garycamara9955]

Torque thrusts had sand blasted centers. At least the real ones from the 60s.

[@robertmitchell6118]

Like the build so far. Who makes those seats, I actually think they look cool?

[@beatnikgarage2153]

I actually got them used from a buddy. But I did see them on eBay a while back. I think they are a Chinese company.

Where have you been?

[@ericmalarkey1938]

What a fucking lift holy shiiiit😦 just snatched that shit onto the table🫠

[@beatnikgarage2153]

Ahahaha. It’s not too terrible, but I am out of shape! That’s for sure! 😂

[@garycamara9955]

A 4 or 5 speed would take up less room. Than a waldomatic.

[@garycamara9955]

The trans needs to be lower in the frame. You could build a sump guard for it.

[@beatnikgarage2153]

Thanks. Yep, it has been lowered since this video. 😂

Audio so bad I can't tell what direction your going or how you got here !?? 🤠

[@stephengent9974]

The dimensions for the gearbox should have been available, so you should have been able to see how much space you would have left. The gear box looks way too high for me. If you want to ride low, then something has to give. I believe that too many people are tied up with thew looks of a car and think about the realities later. If this is going to be a regularly used car, then practicality of use must have primacy IMO

Want to barrow my mock up transmission? It’s an empty 350

[@beatnikgarage2153]

Appreciate it, If I weren't an idiot, Id have used the hoist like I did for the engine! Hahaha

I like you fabrication skills, but it would be nice if your voice over/sound quality was better. There are times when there is dead silence, but you are looking at the camera and your lips are moving, and there is also a lot of background noise that is not relevant to what you are working on.

[@beatnikgarage2153]

Thank you for the feedback. I’ll throw my mic on regularly! Much appreciated!
