Hello,

Body decals completed within 30 minutes of receiving the second decal sheet in the mail.  Now wait for them to fully dry (a day or two) before clearcoating, to eventually start working on the black. This is far from over but I'm enthusiastic about the progress. 

Thanks,
Ismael

Simply an outstanding build. I am really enjoying watching this piece of history come together.

Hello,

I believe this is probably a fuel pressurizer hand pump.


Most likely connected to this:


So I took a piece of tubing (1), some rod (2) and a soft wire (3) which I flattened


Cut to size and shape



Add a piece of aluminum tape, a 3D printed bolt and nut and you see where this is going.  Still need to trim the handle a bit more and then paint it.

Thanks,
Ismael

I just went thru thios post. And have to say, WOW, is simply not enough.

 

To go thru the amount of work to build this is mind blowing/

 

The decals alone would put me over the top beyond repair

 

My hats off to you. 

 

Anxiously awaiting the finished product
