wHEN i SAW THE ROUND COVER WELDED i HAD THE SAME THOUGHT

jUST BUY ONE OF THOSE ELECTRICAL ORBITAL SANDERS MAN AND THAT WILL DO THE JOB OF ATLEAST 10 FORUM MEMBERS


cOZ WE WILL JUST DRINK THE BEERS AND STAND AND TALK SHIT ALL DAY

Thats taking shape nicely....

Are you busy with the car now and showing us daily progress or have you finished it already and just giving us a "soap-opera" type teaser??

well tony, this is more of a every third weekend progress. but no, its not finished yet. i hope to get it finished before i run out of fotos of the progress.

know what?

You do better work than some "restrorers" I know..........keep it up.

Not being negative, you seem to be doing some good work, BUT you have now reduced the fresh air intake by some 60%, if you intend on running a aircooled motor I think you are going to have some issues keeping it from overheating on the open road.

thanks for all the complements and comments guys, i appreciate it.


calooker, i understand your concern, but just keep watching. i have a plan for the fresh air intake.
