I'm trying to get this back on the road for april don't want it dragging on for ever,most of the bodywork is done now just need to get it ready for paint and rebuild the engine, its now a 1776cc with CB performance crank, Engle 110 cam, empi heads with 40mm inlet 35.5 exhaust, scat pro comp rockers 1:25, with longer push rods and twin 40 carbs to finish or 44's
     
  3. why are some of the photos side way? i don't know how to change it
     
  4. Think if you check on your computer, they probably need rotating before you upload them. some photo host sites automatically find the correct rotation by default.

    Just a maybe
