a bit of trimming


and a repair - if anyone wondered why I decided not to powder coat now.... here's ample reason


push it down


drill and weld


and some door stops


hmmm, it seems not all pulleys are created equal... dagnabit!


no picture of painted, but that's drying so that I can finish the front half of the top tomorrow.... and wait for the new pulley which won't be here until Friday
 
hey very nice work. looks like you've come up with a belter of a rig after all that work. enjoy it now eh?
 
everything works great. spending the day getting jiggy with dry rot on the house....
drove it today - runs excellent.... I utterly hate it when I follow instructions, despite my better judgment, and they turn out to be wrong. All the books say set the timing at zero degrees with the distributor disconnected. The author must be a Ford owner, because, just like Fords, he's all wet. 6-8* is good, 10* is better. .... and it doesn't run as warm - 180* vs. 220*

*sigh* and my wife wonders why I don't do instructions

in other news, I hate wood.

this rubber is theoretically supposed to be for landscaping - it's made of recycled rubber... also works great as a shim


and I had to recharge the front shock again... I think it's going to need to be sent back and get looked at by the pros.... all the rest don't leak at all
 
Not that I've ever actually tried this before but the rubber mats they use for gym floors also work really well as shims...
