Got the tank jacket built and installed, hoping to have the firewall painted by the weekend.

Got the engine set in, dry sump was a tough fit. all worked out in the end. Still have to finish tigging the front structure, and make some kind of new hinges. Hoping to fire it up this weekend. Ron

You are the man. Enough said.

Looking good! :thumbsup:

looking good my man
 

I see you decided to shoot a little color on the firewall. Very nice. Like the way your recessed the tank.

Nice work it looks great.

Got the new chromoly bars bent and tigged, lost about 60 lbs using chromoly instead of mild steel. Should offset the weight of the tank lines etc. Had to loop the bars around the oil tank, turned out pretty good though.

Chromoly front structure built, and removed for powder coating. Even with all the bars, its 51 lbs. less then the mild steel, and I added toe hooks on the front. Kinda cool the fenders, and hood hook right to the structure. Ron
