That is so nice! Were you at Ferdi's over the weekend? Must have been your car I saw there. Wanted to complement the owner on a very unique car.

I drove my rat until it emtied the tank of the nasty LRP and filled up with unleaded. That's also something done. Haha! Now timing and carb settings... And it was idling so nice before

Lols, and there I thought I was finished. Now Tony says I need a Camber Compensator for the rear as with the speed comes poor road holding.. So started fitting a kit from FFR but had a dud shaft support bolt snap, bummer. Install on hold until I can get this dud swapped out. Now we start withe the roof.
