Frank, that is so cool. What a nice piece of work.

Love-it-love-it-love-it! I could just study the pics endlessly. Any chance of a decent size and resolution pic of the final result? It'd make really fine desktop wallpaper.

I'll get some good pictures when it moves outside.

Sweeeet! Bring lots of prints to Speed Week so there are pictures to go along with your live words.

Well, a set back. Coolant leak. Appears to be at the distributor drive sleeve. Fairly easy fix, but no time. :cry: I'll have to see what we can do.

you better hurry.

Well, it's all back together. It still leaks. I am not going to get to hear it run. :cry: The time schefule is such that we can't get the parts in time to make the shipping date. I'll get the parts, and send them to Germany, and one of his staff will have to repair it.

This crack did not show up on the magnaflux, because it is inside the passage for the distributor shaft. A sleeve will fix it, but it has to come apart to do it.

He could pull it with the tractor but he's probably having trouble finding someone to (un)dress for the occasion. That's a real bummer not to get to hear it run. GPster

New pictures, outside. I'm bummed it won't fire here, but pretty proud of the car anyway.
