Gonna study the characteristics of Wes’s engine and see if my primary length is correct. Collector fit nice enough.
    The tires have an inch plus clearance lock to lock on steering wheel. So I am pretty happy over all.

    Went to the shop after church today to finish up the driver side headers on Kadet while warm. Another cold streak coming through. Won’t be warm again until Wednesday. Got everything finished on that side other than paint. Thinking of using the Eastwood ceramic coat like I used on the Willy’s and Prefect. Clears everything ( front tires and wheels by an inch. Should be good to go. IMG_0249.jpeg IMG_0250.jpeg IMG_0251.jpeg IMG_0252.jpeg IMG_0253.jpeg
