It's a cool car,no doubt about that. It was also someone's else's project at one time so you're left discovering the level of craftsmanship they had. And being an older chassis, you got the parts availability and whatnot, coupled with today's costs and quality issues. You'll get it sorted out. Been there, done that and dealing with the same on an ironhead sportster I inherited from my late father-in-law. Lots of "bad touch" on that bike. Funny thing is it looks like a million bucks at a glance.

Cool build. Old school stance with modern wheels, and the engine swap. I like the idea. 👍👍

My thoughts exactly. That,and 20 years in the grass. Those floors are probably rice paper.

Absolutely beautiful. 👍👍

Most of these small engine problems are directly related to modern fuel, those carbs have extremely small orifices that clog. In the case of 2 stroke engines, too much oil fouls plugs,and any air leaks in the tank or lines will drive you crazy. And they are tuned very lean due to the epa

Ain't this the truth. Actual diagnostic skills and most importantly experience. Lots of guys just fire the parts cannon at a problem.

That looks fantastic. Nice touch with the "bluing" on the exhaust, that's something I need to learn. 👍👍

I walked over and took a better picture of these guys. There's 3-4 groups of adults and a bunch of juveniles.

Clouds are moving out from yesterday's storms looks like it might be a beautiful day. Yesterday was humid, and monsoon rains in the afternoon. That made for a rough day at work, I welcome the break today.

This looks fantastic. Very nice work.

Old car things. It happens. Switches get sticky,corrosion happens, bad connections ect. The fact that it worked one time tells you it's probably not a big deal,just gotta pin point the culprit. You'll get it figured out.

Welcome to the forum

Great looking '32

Nice work sir 👍👍

Great looking jeep,nice work with the weathering.

Beautiful Cuda. Amazing work throughout. Love the mod top, and the f8 green. 👍👍

I did notice after the novus there's still a bit of "swirling". Thanks for the tip, and the compliment.👍

With anything I build,I keep one thing it mind. If it fails,make it easy to change. I can have the engine of my kawasaki out and on the bench in ten minutes. Without a motorcycle jack or stand.

You take the time to properly troubleshoot the issue and find an appropriate solution with serviceability in mind. They cut the hole for the easy route I take it.

These guys out scouting around for food.

S10's were great little trucks. I briefly owned a '96 long bed, old napa truck. 2.2 had a blown head gasket when I bought it. Common with those. Easy fix as long as the head isn't a pretzel.

Looks great, nice details throughout the chassis.

Good point

This is more like it. Gotta do a bit of touching up, and finish detailing the cluster, but the foil really pulled off what I wanted.

More beautiful work.👍
