We had a Phoenix flood today ---i.e. it rained enough to run off the roof 8-)

These are pitiful shots to reflect how sore and beat up I feel  !!!!!!!11

Is a Dutz fastener anything like a Dzus ('D' is silent) fastener (invented by Volodymyr Dzhus)?

[SPARKY]

Dzus---damm Jack, I just read the correct spelling and STILL could not get it right---thanks for the education---lol

Sparky, just don't show up in a Zoot fire suit with Dzus buttons!  That's a tange-toungler 10x real fast!

80% done 80% to go   now I understand special construction taking so long---you are constantly taking things off and putting them back on to see if things will clear    and learning new skills because you are doing something for the first time it takes so long!!!!!!

Looking good, Sparky!

Going to add the turbos this winter, then?

[SPARKY]

Yes Buddy, I plan on finishing the turbo install this winter.  If we get a track I hope to long coarse qualify it and return my lisc to AA at least.

Was busy in the shop yesterday with sheet metal, but most of all Marty came by an welded in the new frt. hoop and gussies.

Francis, from Tucson, well actually Oro Valley, who built this great looking intake, is coming up today to check on my progress and help jump start the wiring job.

I must be getting punch drunk about when I thought guys were going to show up---solo in shop today lots of little stuff---only thing worth posting is the battery mount---beside the right side of the block behind fuel pump area.

It gives you new appreciation for mass produced vehicles that are easy to work on.....when I work on the grocery getter I temper my frustration by reminding myself that on the car I built I have to pull the engine to change the battery terminals.....well not quite , but almost......

Speaking of which our old battery mount was one of our favorite little nick-nacks on the car......this year we put the battery uner the seat and the pretty little piece that used to hold it got ditched.

Lord don't you just hate it when you create the stacked sequence of removals to get to something.  And sometimes try as you might one just ends up there.  :x
