I got the bottles swapped, and traded an extra O2 for some plate steel to level up the feet. Today I shot a whole can of Krylon black, touching up all the spots I scuffed it during assembly. I need to cut the shim plates, and make a socket and wrench for the ram nut.
Today the working end of a shovel got my attention. After that, fixing a leak under the guy's trailer. He's a four tour Vietnam vet..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

One fitting needed an additional half turn, to remedy a small leak. Otherwise, no surprises. Except, perhaps, the mud dauber wasp tubes on the headders. Oh, I did get that wrench made, and as for the nut, I coupled an extra half inch drive socket to the nut, using a short spacer cut from some emt.Last edited by firebird77clone; 09-12-2015 at 03:19 PM.

The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
How did you get hooked on cars?
