Couple hours fettling repro tinware to work nicely with the fill in pieces from Buttys bits





Happy with the fit, give to the powder coaters next door when they are open tomorrow.

I think I'm going to weld the J tube pieces to the sled tins on mine.

Had a trip over to the outskirts of Oxford yesterday to see my mate known as Metal Dave. As the weather was nice we went out in his beetle…..

Hi K@rlos, could you take one or two pics directly from the underside of the oil cooler ? I plan to install a 96 rows (Length - 12 3/4" X Width -11") oil cooler as I plan to get rid of the stock oil cooler. Do you think that a 96 rows oil cooler could be installed or not ? I want to install it like you've done as I have Belly pans and I don't want to cut those.

Mines only a 72 row and that’s a tight fit, I don’t think a 96 will fit but I’ll have a measure up tomorrow. Why are you wanting to delete the doghouse?

Ah I see

I didn’t take any pics but I had a measure up and I think you’ll be limited on space for a cooler that size. My cooler was between the chassis rails but was flat so didn’t really do anything but like I said before it was a last minute temp thing which got left. Another reason I moved it was to get the line length less, I’ve lost about 4ft in the lines since moving it

11 sec street car he drives it from his house to the pod, races and drives home.
All he does is fit the slicks & stinger

I like the way you used those other carbs in the background to make yours look shinier

They are cute little things

Will need to counter sink the bosses 4mm so the foggers screw in further but that’s no big deal. Will give the insides a polish too
