Long time no post. I haven't been quite right since attending the Road Rockets Rumble last June. I made a commitment to myself to have my bucket ready for June 2015, and I have been working toward that end. Anyway, I don't have time for snapshots so you will have to be content with this verbal update.
The frame has reached the point where paint is required. After that, final assembly begins. The powder coating is complete, the transmission is at the rebuilders and the final parts are on order. I will be heading over next week to Spikes in Brownsburg to order the radiator. Because this application involves a 2.3 Lima motor, the less expensive E-Bay radiators (probably made in China with all the rest of Speedy Bill's stuff) are not available to me. This along with a new set of tires will be my final major expense. The header has been finalized and will involve a 3" pipe running down along the side nerf bar.
If anyone from the list plans to attend either the "Rumble" or the NTBA event in September, you will recognize my bucket because it will have a meatball with a number on the door, a mystery radiator shell and feature real Halibrand pin-drive knock-offs. See you there!!!!
