Been trying to clean up and check some loose ends as its about time to mount the seat tub.

[Fuzzy]

Still slogging along.

Enjoy it Ken, this is the fun part making everything fit and looking cool.
Your emergency adapter piece is just what I did, my brake handle is at the proper angle now and works much easier.

Keep on havin fun,  Bill

Put the tub in for the last time (fingers crossed) after a liberal coating of Sikaflex-11FC on the frame rails.

Got the brake handle fitted in place to see how it would clear the floor:

Hey Fuzzy. the alternator is on the wrong side!?

 I was also told the motor was in backwards 'cause the distrubutor was on the wrong end...go figure.

[trainer7620]

Yeah, I missed that one!  Glad to see that you are making progress. With any luck I might get it on the road this summer, late.

Can't get back to Ohio this summer but will be back hopefully next summer, will try to catch up with you then, I'm assuming you will be done then and I should be into  body work...fingers crossed.

Should be done by then :-/. So hope we can connect and go up and harass the folks in Cleveland.    Kerrianne and Evan.

Made some more "fine", well maybe not the exact word, :-? but some adjustments to the steering modifications and got it all buttoned up.  Everything turns just fine and all the angles are within tolerances.  Not pretty but functional.  Got it outside  to do some cleaning.  Taking a traveling break until early July then on to the  brakes, radiator, wiring and such. Still hoping to go-kart before Christmas.

Ken, looking good! I know you had some challenges with the steering so I'm glad you got it sorted out. I'm hoping to get my body primed in the next week or so and am getting ready to check out the wiring. I had a heck of a time getting my brakes bled, but finally got them done.

Regards, Sam

Brakes are my next challenge Sam, I got all the big size master cylinders so am bringing my old ones back to sell on Ebay and have bought new ones, sell three, buy two, I've got an auto.  I wired my old roadster from scratch so am hoping this one won't be too much of a problem. Will be interesting to see if there is any difference between left hand drive and right hand drive wiring looms. Other than the brakes, I'm thinking the rest of the kit should go sorta easy, a lot of work but not the head scratching and sitting on a stump and looking at it... :-/.  Its been fun generally but don't really have anyone here interested to work with and my girls are hot and cold about getting greasy and dirty.  Once we can fire it up though, they will get back into it.  Both of them have done a lot of body sanding and still seems eager to help there.  Of course my 10 year old wants to spray paint again so might let her have a go at the primer, can't do worse than me...   Glad to hear you are getting into paint.  Should be on the road mid summer?

Ken, got to be a challenge with the right hand drive. I wouldn't think the wiring would be different except the location of the fuse panel. Don't know, haven't gotten that far yet. You have done a fine job so far. Keep it up.

Ken, yes...hopefully mid to late summer, if there are no more major interuptions. Lost a month in March/April when we were in Florida helping my brother-in-law after his open heart surgery and have been spending the last 2 weeks doing spring yard/landscaping work so not much progress lately on the car.
