Looking beautiful Dave. Is there a reason you left out the muffler clamps or will these be added later?

Rotate the generator 45 degrees away from the oil breather can.

It’s a two piece clamp so I could add later. To be honest, my engine stand is good but I still don’t trust it to work underneath it once the motor was fully built. I decided to just wait until the motor was installed for safety.

Congratulations Dave,
Glad to see that it is finally recovered from the carb fire that day last November when I was riding with you outside Palestine(Texas, that is).
Looks great.

Wow. Great job, excellent color combination. Think your seat belt guy has a website problem, or he's gone out of business.

He’s flaky. I had some work done by him in April and now he’s gone again unfortunately. He does great work.

It's been a while since I posted any updates. The car is virtually finished besides some detailing. Engine starts quickly and pulls nicely. Idle is rock solid.
