    Nice, but is that an optical illusion that those carbs are slanted way back OR is the engine sagging at the back end just a bit?

    Still have some more work to do before she runs .. Hopefully all you Austin folk will be seeing her at the Dog and Duck one of these Mondays.
     
  21. Flatheads have always been the prettiest motors in my eyes. That is one sexy engine! Can't wait to see the box on the road again. Kinda gonna miss the whistle!

    When you say whistle, you wouldn't be refering to my patented vaccume leak entrance, soon followed by the bi-weekly carb rebuild in the parking lot of the pub would ya?!?!

    Haha, good times!
