I got the transmission painted, sanded the frame and tore down the engine to paint the tin. It is coming along nicely. I am going to prime the frame tonight and hopefully have it painted by the end of the weekend.

I found out some more specs on the engine:
87mm P&C's
Counter weighted Crank (8 Dowel)
40X35 Valve Heads
Engle 110 Cam
30MM Oil Pump
009 With Electronic Ignition
Lightened flywheel

Got a bit more work done this afternoon. I scrounged around and found a set of carbs to put on the engine. They are Weber 34 ICT's. I think that it will run nicely with them. Got some before and after pics when I was cleaning them. I just need to boil them out and reassemble them.

I finally finished welding on all the tabs for the floor pans. I am going to use aluminum diamond plate for the floors. I ended up cutting off the pedal assembly. I am going to order a hydraulic clutch/brake assembly in the next couple of days. It takes quite a while to weld on 42 one inch tabs. I think that it was just a little over 90 inches worth of welding. :help:
