What’s new?

The rat has still not been fired up. It turns over, but doesn’t quite catch. There is also a lot of junk in the fuel lines. I will have to drop the tank and have it boiled out.

You’ll notice a new hood. I still have the original, but I wanted to add hood pins and didn’t want to mess up a prefectly good hood. This one will be stripped and painted matte black for that old-school racer look.
