lakerguy:
The play by play of your build has been an interesting read and I hope you see it through to its completion. What a day that first drive will be. I wish all the best to you OT.

How are you doing with your bomber OT?

Pics would be nice :)

Orin, Walrus & the rest of the members, thanks for asking about me. I haven't done very much at all with my bomber for a long time now. I think I have fallen ill to the couch potato syndrome. I had a fellow geared up to do my diff for me but after months of waiting I gave up on him. I now have it at another fellow's place. I called him last night & he has it pretty well done as he had other jobs that have priority over mine.
I don't be out in the shed in the cold months cause the "BOSS" complains about the extra costs ($200.) on the light bill every month. I'm hoping to be back at it this summer. I was out of town for the last few days getting another check up. While there I bought a set of gauges & ignition & ignition switch so I can wire the engine with the help from Remtech. I am thinking about useing a Dodge power wagon rad as it is a bit shorter & the rad man says I can make it more efficent by adding an extra core to it, 4 versus 3...
Walrus, as for pics, what I have are posted in my rebuild. I am still kicking. Doc says I'm too contrary to die yet. Ha Ha !!!
This ol' fart's here for awhile yet !!!!

No big deal, sometimes its hard to motivate especially in the winter. I work outside alot so I won't freeze my butt off to work on a toy. I have many toys that never seem to get finished. I gear up and go wild and then something else takes my time and off to the back burner she goes. I have a 67 Mustang thats been worked on and then stored, worked on and then stored, etc etc. I've had it nearly 20 years and it still isn't done :D. Got it running the other day though, going to fix the brakes, register it, inspect it and smoke the tires this summer ;D. Its pretty ratty but mechanically its pretty decent(other than the brakes, sitting for years did that)
