I found one last piece we need for the engine. Porsche style generator brush cover.

Yeah, it will be sooo easy…it’ll almost built itself 🙂

The brand new Painter’s Grinding 1914cc  engine arrived this morning.

Don’t worry JP we’re not going to judge your work.

Thinking about tires….I am decided on a 185/60 for the front. But not sure on the rear a 195/65 or 195/60 or 185/65. I am leaning towards 195/65…only because I know oval front fenders come way down on the tire…..but maybe a 195/60 would look more square.  I’m 50/50 on the rear tires.

 

working on the j tubes today 1 3/8 to replace the 40hp 1 1/4.

I managed to cut and clean all 5 wheels over the weekend. I think they look cool. Next is to brush some black paint in the holes and full black detail job.

I decided to take a recovery day sitting at the mill. 🙂 Cutting some vents into empi fuchs.

I moved the slots out as far as possible on the spokes this time…should allow more view of the fancy brakes.

I have a feeling that wide hatch roof clip is going to turn into a barndoor though…

Everything on the pan is done. Ready for the body to be bolted on. Pan seal installed with tacks.

The sperwolf locking shifter is test fit and ready for paint.

As soon as I turn the engine off. 10-15 minutes of run time.

The idea is to flush out trash before it settles to the bottom of the case. Metal from lifter/cam and piston ring wear.

I can tell you the oil drain pan looks shiny like a pearl paint job in the sun. Super fine pieces in suspension.
