Got a lot done today, wish I'd have got more done yesterday. If things have worked out better yesterday I'd had probably finished today...

Got the new bottom made and the bungs welded in, need to mate the two pieces now

So if I don't kick out but elongate the sump forward I can add nearly three quarts of capacity. I'll have to bring the pickup forward to...

Capacity and baffling, plus raising the sump a touch and shortening the pickup tube correspondingly. Doing some math I have to raise the...

Long lasting shiny windscreen frame I'd have been fine if I had just heated it back up and flexed it back into shape, which is what I...

Had a misadventurous yesterday. My plan was to remake the windscreen frame in stainless yesterday then start in the grill today. I ended...

Last pictures today, looking back I can't believe I genuinely believed I could get this grill panel made and remake the windscreen frame...

I did a small panel on a Barracuda years ago now, we changed from the factory front lit gauges to back lit ones so I made a panel to...

So that's not done yet, needs more than 2 screws holding it in and the gone around and try to shine the weld marks back out of it. To...

Working on the hood grill for the exhaust side today. 30 pieces of stainless cut and welded together so far and I'm done for the night.

Looking at grill bar spacing tonight after finishing up the brake light wiring from last night. My initial thought of a pressure switch...

I was really hoping for this for the grill didn't get there
