Sorry to hear about your leg. I am just about done chiseling out the rivets hoding that F-1 crossmember from the frame rails that I picked up from you last weekend.

Meant to tell you I am pretty happy with that deal. How did you break your leg???

Did you get the 40 to the painter???

No...the balling wire wasn't permanent.

I make this arm a couple weeks ago from a m/c connecting rod, still need to find a donor arm for the splines to weld in.

Dammm Nimrod everything you build is dead on.

 

Jim Rizzo had a series of articles in Rod and Custom, i think it was in 2003 and 04, about building this one.
