Topic: Some pics of Project Gargoyle's accumulated parts

[chrisinestes]

Here are pics of the crazy wheels, the Pontiac OHC Straight 6 engine, and the 3-speed tranny I have so far.

Have you ever seen wheels like this? It's a single wheel with dual tires. They're off a Toyota Motorhome, most likely.


Here's a 230 HP SOHC Pontiac Straight 6. It fell off an engine stand, but I think I have all the parts to make it run.


Here's the matching 3-speed manual tranny. I have the bell housing, too.


There's lots of parts in the shed, but I thought the straight 6 would look the coolest.

Sorry about the physical size of the pics... I'd make them smaller, but I don't know how to do that. I'll work on it.

That wheel looks like it should belong on a circle track car, Very cool...

[hotwheels]

Nice man, very nice..........and i agree on the engine, it's all fixable.

[tattoodaddy1967]

Gonna be a neat set up....should be worry free riding....

[obama]

Body and a couple of frame rails, and your on the road.

Those wheels are very unique, should look good on whatever you put them on.

Here's a set of  horns I got for the Gargoyle this weekend. I think they will get attention. The bell of the largest horn is 11"!

[ezrat]

Love the horns.  Do they work?

[obama]

Agree those wheels would look good on a flatbed truck, or,,,,,

[chrisinestes]

Love the horns.  Do they work?

Oh man do thay work... I blew them this morning with ear muffs on, and I still have a bit of a head ache from them! They're unbelievably loud... even with 120PSI

[Greybeards Customs]

The horns will be fun .. for sure

[obama]

Have ya figured out how your going to run air to the horns yet?

[chrisinestes]

Have ya figured out how your going to run air to the horns yet?

Not yet. My train guy says those run on 125PSI with a half inch line to them. So at least I don't have to come up with a compresser & tank that's higher pressure than most. I'll probably use an 5-ish gallon tank with an electric valve. That'll give me 5-10 seconds of honk per tank-full. That is a LOT of honking given how loud these are! How long it takes the compressor to re-pressure the tank will depend on how much money I spend on it.

LOL my dad has a sick pair of train horns on his Yota and when we would drive by the train tracks down by the water we would stop about a block from the (4) track crossing and wait for en-expectant victims to roll across the tracks.... Then lay on the horns and watch them slam on there breaks and freak out! LMAO Good times Good times indeed.....

Woohoo! I got lucky this weekend!

no.. not THAT kind of lucky! Haha

I now have a Jaguar front & rear suspension. It's been rebuilt, so it's good to go except for one rear shock. Also found a 200r4 in "the shed". It'll almost certainly need a rebuild.

Thanks to Mottornoggin for a killer deal!

[RaTaTat]

Score!!!!

[hotwheels]

Freakin schweet man..................

[ezrat]

So do you have a plan for all those parts?

[obama]

Jag rear end is great. on the plan thing, please don't say you'v been looking at the "caption this" photo's for ideas. what ya got cook'n?

[chrisinestes]

Of course I have a plan! I'm building some kind of car! haha. I'll be here all week, make sure you take care of your servers.

My plan is to build a sweet ride. I'm still looking for a body. I'm gathering likely useful parts as they come my way. I can't go wrong with what I've come up with so far.  I don't know exactly what body I'll end up with. I'd like something late 20's early 30's. A pickup would be cool, but a real pickup cab is really small for my largeness, so I'd have to make a pickup out of a car if I go that way. Depends on what body I end up with. I'm somewhat open to body style. Talked to a guy in my town that has a decent Hudson car in storage he'd trade me for my sign work, he'll have pictures of it soon.  I'll keep you all updated!
