Hollow Head (3/8/2010)
Tim, the engine looks like....NOSTALGIA . One thought, has it ever happened with Y that rockers slide off from push rod due those springs beeing there. In some high revving 4 cylinder race engines (Rallying ones) those springs have been replaced by aluminum tubes to keep rockers in right place. I guess it is possable, but we have the same thing in Charlies engine and have not had a problem yet and it runs at 7000 on a regular basis.

I have been working on the car, just doing little things that take time but don't really show a lot of progress. Fuel tank and radiator are mounted should have the battery box made this weekend. Still waiting on the axles. Also got some new $150 tires for my $100 trailer.

Crazy question but help me out- I can't figure out by the picture where the tank and radiator are located. In fact this is the first time I can remember seeing a radiator. Doesn't the tank "usually" go up front between the axle and engine?

Tim the trailer needs a bit of work but the rims and tires look like a perfect match to the trucks.
