Re: What did you get done?

I prepped, painted, stripped, re-prepped, & re-painted a few parts. I'm not real happy w/the results so I'll prob strip them again this week & do it over w/some different paint (painting in the driveway sucks).

While things were drying, I went ahead & pulled the front suspension off my Beater to test fit my 1.5" notched crossmember. Good thing I did before welding everything up. It seems there are some clearance issues. So for now, the notched crossmember is back out for some trimming & the stock one is bolted back in.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
