    Like your build so far. You gave me some ideas with your wood rotisserie. Good job on the hood too. The Merc hoods do look a bit funny. Ha ha funny?

    I make you laugh? I'm here to fucking amuse you? Waddya mean funny?
    Funny how? How am I funny?
    How the fuck am I funny? What the fuck is so funny about me?

    Thanks for your support, guys!
    I fired up the engine for the first time. Ran pretty good considering that was the first carb that I have ever had apart!
    thanks, youtube for all the helpful DIY videos!!
    Still need to hook up a rad so I can run it for more than a few seconds. And, I guess some exhaust, but those open headers sound pretty badass in the garage!

    How did you keep from warping the hood when welding such a low crown panel? thanks
