    yep, you own a JAAAAAAAG! My wife and I discuss this alot. IMO driving skill have gone out the window. I literally see potential accidents every time I go back into the CIty. People just move where they want waiting for that beep or light flash and when distracted....well, they just go there. Last week I was driving and a newer model BMW was next to me and just started to pull over into my lane...I saw the light on the mirror in her car, but she was too busy talking and just went for it. No look, no nothing. Then GLARES at ME as I brake and lay in the horn (when she finally looks). Much less the ads I see now for parking assist, pulling FORWARD into a spot....I just shake my head, how can you not know how far to pull into a parkign spot? Programming the newer car owners for comptures to do it all.

    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.

    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.
