Roaring Forties #81

Thanks Mark, The pedals are tilton # TIL 72-6422A. I had to cut the back of the mount off and also had to separate brake & clutch so I could move them closer together. I purchased my car when Robert offered just body & frame along with glass, fuel tanks, & suspension. I wish I could have purchased the complete kit but I wanted to start on the build rather than save longer for the complete kit. It really hurt to cut the rack & master cyl. mount
out but I like the dual cyl. with the balance bar adjuster witch will be mounted behind the shifter.

After lots of sanding I finally got two coats of primer on last week, just two more to go. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Installing the G50/50 will require some frame modifications for starter clearance.

Shifter is almost finished and seems to shift nice, used 43 series morse cables. Engine should be finished this week, 347 roller, AFR 205 heads, Eagle forged crank, h-beam rods,internally balanced. Next project will be the headers, have lots of Burns ss tube and collectors but unfortunately most of it is to big, going with 1-3/4".

Thanks Hersh, still a long way to go. I need to get my parts list together, is Robert shipping anything in the near future, maybe I could have it sent in the next shipment.

Looking good!

Pat, how is yours coming along ? Maybe if we keep at it we we'll get em finished one day - I'm hoping this spring.

Not too much done here in the last eight weeks - broke my collar bone racing go carts - not successfully, I might add. Gonna try and get some painting done this weekend if this beautiful weather holds.

Been doing some cut & paste, some fine tuning left to do and then finish welding this weekend.
