Thought I would update.
Engine work is all basically done. Medium porting, squish band is good now. o-ring for gasket. Got and overhauled then bench tested a oil pump. Carbs are here, manifolds are done. Tight fit though! And of coarse new wossners are in. Compression is set. What a performance that was. HPI iggy installed and all wiring done, kicked over, have spark. Engine just needs a bit of finishing off, I will do that when I remove it for paint. Paint is really what I am concentrating on now, well finishing all welding/bracketing so I can strip it down for painting then final Assy. As you can see ive raised the engine. Chambers is what I am working on now and rear brakes and any welding on frame I can think of.
Hope I don't miss anything! Done a heap of other stuff as you can see. Built the wheels myself, wasn't straight forward, but I knew it wouldn't be. The reason the bars are like that is I am 6foot4 and that puts me further forward for better handling as well.
Still lots to do, but on target for August for running in.
