    Ready for bends and buttoning up the last bits. Yesterday I finished all the mounts.

    Did the little keeper slide (that holds it all in) stick in the door bit? If I remember right that's how these are designed....might be wrong.

    Tie up the horses and hide the women....our trial date is getting bumped and I felt the later flight costs were worth it (gotta see my CA buddies!).....see ya at the Q!

    You HAVE to mess it it....there is a magic twist/orientaion that allows you to pop it out. PITA to do it....shouldn't have to take anything else apart, just find that right orientation.

    .....news might be posted later today....

    More work done today. Welded on the strut channel which stiffens and gives me how I'll connect to the RB frame supports. These also will be how I bolt the big tube to the assy.

    Brazilian?

    Back to the running boards today. Welded on the edge support bits. Also, a picture of the profile (picture flipped for proper orientation).

    Your valve seats should ALREADY be hardened, I have'nt run anything but straight gas in my 51 for 12+ years now. I am also lucky we have REAL gas, non-oxy, around me so I can avoid all the crap that happens when they mix in all the additives that eat old engine parts. I use Amsoil Rod-Z for my oil so it has some zinc in the oil.

    No Ceasar tent this year again?

    DANG! That is one good looking sold truck in the light of the sun! I don't think you'll have any regrets!

    I'd just ground it where it works...no one will ever know if it is "right" or "wrong", just if it works or not.
  15. ggdad1951
    not to beat my own drum...this worked out well and removes the issue
