Stuck in "New Posts". Opening "last unread" shows only page 1 with material on page 2 that can't be accesed. Sometimes a new post will unjam... Thus...

By the way, extended "off the air" periods and log timeouts that terminate withwith database errors.

Ok, back to the LB car as HTM is at ESP for fresh paint.
Fuel tank by Craig Combs is fit. Couple things to tidy up below then tank install.

16" split wheel came to me unfinished and bare so I could make it look period and not shiny new.
Today stained and oiled wheel while working side pipes of HTM111

Looking really sharp.

Where did you source an unfinished steering wheel?

The 'build' can be just as exciting as the 'drive'.

Ah, Jeff, Usually Ford bellhousings were bare as they were installed after the engine was painted, to avoid getting paint into the clutch, etc. Same with transmissions, they didn't get painted. But I could be wrong (ask my wife!).
