Thanks for the support guys!
Sorry my garage is not a show piece!
Just ran the numbers and I am at the 90% complete stage of this project, with a lot of work still ahead, goal complete it in October. That last 10% is the killer on the details, in one of these types of things. Looks like your almost done but then several more things become apparent.
The cat, Gracie, is my main helper and usually gives me heck if I work past about 9:30
If you guys are out there I need some advice!
1. The tag on the side of the shroud is all but gone as far as the writting. Is there a thread or a place on getting a repro? I can read the stamped numbers and those could go over to a new tag. Then I would rivet on with stainless rivets.
2. I am going to try to use the existing wiring harness with some places repaired and maybe put the whole thing in that plastic wire loom stuff. Thoughts?
3. Thinking ahead to break in of a new engine. I see Matt G says use (cant think of the type) oil to start. I was going to use Mobile 1 regular oil to start (not synthetic). Yea looking forward to hearing this thing fire up in a couple weeks!
Regards,
Chris
