RancheroSteve Posted November 16, 2023 Author Share Posted November 16, 2023 I managed to get most of the engine together. Front cover, oil filter, pulleys and belt, injector and scoop are from Speed City Resin. Wiring & plumbing might have to wait until this cast comes off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RancheroSteve Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 Yes, all good now - thanks for asking. I'm back to making my usual slow but steady progress amidst life's distractions. Will post photos soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattlecan Dan Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Glad to see you're recovering. You were coming along so nice on that build. Hope you can get back at it soon, and you feel better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RancheroSteve Posted January 19 Author Share Posted January 19 Front suspension and steering are installed; rear axle installed. Steering link isn't glued, as it will have to be removed to pass through the hole in the body. Not really visible here, but the interior is mostly complete. After I finish the wheelie bars I'll be able to drop the body on and it should start coming together. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocking Rodney Rat Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Good to see you back at it, I was digging all of the vinyl in that pic of your arm in the cast. I've got a lot of those 12" black discs here, too.... -RRR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
