Tonight I went over to Kostya's house and we (mostly him) rebuilt the carbs. I'm excited to get this engine together. :dance:

HUGE Thank you to Ethan, Chris (Cajun Eskimo), Doug, and Wayne (69vdubr). Thanks guys, I am very grateful. It should be noted that Ethan is a whiz at glass installation. "You gotta slap it" :)

After Ethan, Doug, and Chris left, Wayne came over and we got the support bar bolted down to the frame. We're good! Now I need to tighten up the bolts to the tranny, and run the accelorator cable and fuel lines. I also need to install the carbs and sync them.

I'm very excited. Thanks again!! :mrgreen:
