Carb in place! Pardon the grotty trumpets... an ElCheapo foam type air cleaner will keep th' big lumps from the innards.

Now I just gotta clean and repaint the heater box and bits. YAY!

Looks great Doc. I've got another one you can work on once you finish with that one.

Nice, Doc....

I think I'll have some interesting rear end photos for yuo in a day or so....my hybrid rear end is ready for me to test fit & assemble to check wheel clearance.
 
WOW, Doc! Relooked that photo - how close are those trumpets to the inner fender?
 
I was thinking the same thing earlier... Looks like they could almost be inside the fender. That's a looooong setup - good for torque.
 
Not that close, actually. I'll get it from a different angle.
 
Doc,
That puts my engine compartment to shame. Looks great.

Figured if'n we had *any* chance of gettin to Gatlinburg I didn't want to have folk lookin' in John's engine bay, swooning then gettin' to mine, *gagging* and hurlin' into it...
 
Doc,

I have to finish the Bowie knife I am making. I get to sit around a fire and sip coffee out of a tin cup tomorrow ao got to look the part. I am going to fix the carb plates when I get a little more time. The heater core is out of the shop -- no holes in it so the leak had to be the hose or clamps. Either way I will fix those when I get the proper foam and tubes.

I've considered fabin' up an aluminum plate to cover the heater box "pit" but the defrosters come in handy more than a few times a year, even down here. So I guess it's: "clean th' durned thing" and just get ON with it. Also left on the 'list' is to wrinkle paint a valve cover. Already stripped and Vari-Primed, just waiting for a good "outdoor oven" day of Florida Sunshine.
 
Doc - I've got a magnetic piece I put over my fresh air vent - black with MG logo...stays on a 70mph (I know that for a fact)
