    Great touch on that handle. Makes the lettering really stand out. :)

    The engine is heading back to the machine shop tomorrow for a fire and break in. I swapped up the wires for another color that I like better and also added some separators the throttle jockey made for me. The body is also final sanded, seam sealed, and ready for paint Screenshot_20190324-181144_Messages.jpeg IMG_20190324_165253_483.jpeg IMG_20190324_182633_723.jpeg

  12. Tell us a little more about the plug wire separators. Do they just slide onto the wire before the end is crimped? Are they connected to each other? Or just touch each other?
    Thanks.

    Yup..you have to slide them on before the ends get crimped. I layed out all the wires, figured out my lengths, slid them on, and put my wire ends on. There is a small plastic sleeve that slides over the wire first...then the metal separator slides over. They are tig welded together on the backside.

    Are these slide on covers for the plug ends? The first shot doesn't show them

    Steering wheel Chris from CA recasted and whittled out a 41 Lincoln wheel for me. We came up with a color close to the paint Screenshot_20190411-212730_Messages.jpeg Screenshot_20190411-212744_Messages.jpeg Screenshot_20190411-212622_Messages.jpeg IMG_20190411_213308_649.jpeg IMG_20190411_213308_648.jpeg IMG_20190411_213308_647.jpeg

    The material is tinted to the needed color. When dry, it is translucent like the early Lincoln wheels

    That steering wheel is just too cool. You are going to get a lot of questions on this for sure.
