Nirvana 1941 Chris Craft
Re: Nirvana 1941 Chris Craft
Ha, that stuffs clean compared to a bloody diesel engine.
Re: Nirvana 1941 Chris Craft
That's a nice colour Bob, thought you might have gone for a shade of grey but I like this better.
Re: Nirvana 1941 Chris Craft
That's meant to be historically correct for my vintage CC. There is a CC blue available in the US but old Ford is the acceptable substitute.
Re: Nirvana 1941 Chris Craft
Watch that oily greasy stuff on that carpet Bob, that's where i went wrong. I should have had some to save getting my concrete slab dirty

Bob
Relaying a suggestion for bearings from Darren Schneider:
"Try Henrys T & A parts, I think its either outer Melbourne or Bacchus Marsh area. He deals with a lot of early T, A, 32 Ford stuff".

Re: Nirvana 1941 Chris Craft
Thanks for the contacts guys. The engine parts dude in the US has finally come up with the goods (or am I impatient?) so I'm just waiting for his shipment to land at the freight forwarding company in Texas. I've got shipments from 6 different suppliers to be consolidated. Got the seals for the transmission in hand in Bairnsdale and just ordered in Oz 30 weight non detergent oil. Low performance oil for an equally low performance engine.
Re: Nirvana 1941 Chris Craft
I'm going to make a prediction, you will be pleasantly surprised with the performance of your Chris Craft. It will go 22% faster than you think.
Re: Nirvana 1941 Chris Craft
Engine parts are still in the US so I decided to crack on with the deck. Got the front cover boards cut to shape and the deck king plank fitted. Next I'll move on to the aft cover boards and the king plank pieces moving after. Then next weekend we'll be working on the trailer.
