Yes he is already growing a lot. I don't know anything about helmet clips. Do you have any information on those or links?

Thanks so kindly, guys. I am very appreciative.

I was away for a week and a half, for my daughter's destination wedding.

I talked to my brother tonight, and he said it would be fine, and his son would be likely very enthusiastic about doing this. He plays a lot of x-box car racing games and is very good at it apparently.
(don't ask me which ones, I don't do video games haha)

So the next week or so I am going to do some planning.

We agreed that he will likely need a tether of some sort, on the helmet, just in case of a fast braking maneuver.
I don't plan on doing anything extreme, just having fun, but want to make sure that he is safe.

I will get some body measurments from my brother then am going to make a wood mock up within a month or so.

Going to try and time it so I can have a good working plan, by the time Brent is finished with the engine.

It's going to be a fun project

Please keep me posted and I will send you some money

Absolutely.

I am feeling like I am over the flu/cold, so am back at work creating aluminum shavings (grinding the heads) and trying to hurry up and get the engine parts ready to ship to Brent.

Once the engine parts are completed and ready to ship, I'll get to work on the seat. Should take a couple weeks to get the engine parts ready (less time I hope)

Cheers

Keep us posted

I certainly will!!

It's been super crazy at work, so not as much car work going on.

BUT the block is out for machining. Hoping to select the cam profile within a few days and get that ordered up.

Doug, you think you will have it back together for late april?

Hi Ryan

I am hoping I will. I asked Brent, today how fast he can get the engine ready.

Let's see what he says.

Some progress news

I almost have the heads done.

Crank and rods arrived at the engine shop.

More news soon, I hope.

Do you have pistons and a cam yet? Is that thing going on the Dyno?

Yes Brent is going to set it up on the engine dyno, for me.

I think we have a cam selected. Brent wants to see the heads.

Brent wants to get the heads set up, valves, and CC, etc. before ordering the pistons, Then order the pistons to suit.
