LQQKN' Good. Why did you mount the fuel block so high on the firewall?

Your dad stopped into the Backyard on Friday and told me you were making progress and hope to drive it to Devils Run. It's looking good.

Good question Eyeball, now here's my reasoning:
a.  I wanted it to be mounted on the higher vertical part, not on the angled part
b.  It's actually a good couple inches from the top edge where the hood sits
c.  I wanted to make it harder for myself when it came time to install a wiper motor, as I filled in those holes and the fuel block mounts from the backside just about where the wiper motor mounts would have been.. :oops:
d.  I didn't buy all that red fuel line just to use a couple feet- I want to SEE that stuff!

Hopefully I'll be able to get all of the bodywork done by the third week in april.  Then it can go into assembly.

Just be sure to keep a CLOSE eye on that red fuel line. Probably need to change it out almost every season.

Thanks!  I've got a lot of practicing to do yet, but it all takes time. I will have pics of my flathead with the finned aluminum heads up next sunday night.  I'll probably have pics up of the exhaust also...we'll see!
