Dressin' the engine...

 

Spark plug heat shields installed.

Looks good. Note: we need to drill the hole for that brake block.

Oil filter cannister needed some touch-up paint...

Oil fill cap needed some touch up...

Original air cleaner.  It isn't perfect, but wow - it's pretty darn nice. Did some rubbing compound & polish.



Installed the freshly rebuilt & original Carter carb.

Time to install the glass bowl fuel filter. Permatex Aviation sealant is our favorite 'go-to' for fuel lines.

Nice.

Carb. -> Fuel pump fuel line installed.


Road-draft tube bracket installed.

Time to drill the chassis to mount the brake block. Fresh bits.


Clean.






Trip to Chris' shop...
