Sweet!!!!!!!!!! Advance the timing a touch and it won't burp fire like that nor will you have to "inject" fuel either. On second thought, nevermind, that was fun to watch. . . :D

Funny story, I had a paint cap full of fuel I was dumping in my 427 BBC as my buddy fired the engine and it caught on fire. I didn't want to hold a flaming cup of liquid fire, so I tossed it . . .  right at my girlfriend's leg. Kinda horrifying yet funny at the same time. . . dancin all over. . . lmao.

They had it running without the fire through the carb, but that wasn't as entertaining to watch.

So Ross had asked me to weld up his windshield posts for him, I bought the wire this week since I finally got my welder down here and decided I needed to get at least one of the things I wanted to get done this weekend completely done (damn women), so about 2:00 AM I went out and switched my welder from aluminum over to the stainless and welded them up.  Then I took a flap disc to grind the welds down and clean up the rough cuts on the back of the base.  Then I took some 80 grit on the DA to take out the scratches from the flap and also to level the sides of the posts and take out a few nicks they've picked up between being bent and bounced around in the shop.  











Now ready for polishing.
