Almost have the 912 big-bore motor done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

Reinstalled the barrels, head, rocker arm assy. and adjusted the valves. Then the intakes, carbs tins and flapper boxes. Still haven't found the misplaced fan housing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I do have a spare housing from another set of tins, so I guess I'll just have to use that one for now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)



Adjusting the valves boy do I need lesson, i should have drop by when you were doing it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Hi, just wondering what tire size are those? And nice clean red car! My favorite color and maybe if I got the funds for repaint, I will go with that color. My wife likes green but she said it is up to me since it is my car.

Had a good ole' time with my screwdriver and wire-brush wheel. Here's a sneak peak. I guess I should go ahead and start an official "build thread" now that I've past the point of no return.

Drove it to the apple farm to pick apples in Watsonville. 100+ temps, driving hard on the back roads, and engine temps held fine. Had too stop for turkeys crossing the road.....

Thanksgiving about 60 days away.

The word is Refrigeration! Freezation, my friend!

Road kill is legal if nobody knows!

Does your wife know how to pluck?

Wild Turkey meat is better than the booze!
