Maybe air up the tires a tad before you finally decide on rake.
Like that one a LOT! Nice choice of tyres, what are they?
I't's coming along nicely now, and you've pretty well nailed the GN/Nash style. I wonder if skinnier tyres would help with the British look at all?

Well done, car and crew do look good in their natural habitat!
Marvellous in every way, well done!

Yes it does look like that, not sure if it says MFI or MF1. On the right side it says MADE : IN : USA. I haven't taken the head off yet, will do...
Hi folks, I tried searching but had no luck, does anyone know anything about this head? [ATTACH] [IMG]
This looks like fun, I'll most likely learn a few things too, so I clicked watch.
A lathe is a marvellous thing, so glad I have one, maybe turning a shoulder/weld prep on the nut to center it into the tube would help too.
Thanks, I just might re-do mine some day, I think tig welding helps a lot when trying to keep the nut square to the tube vs mig, and gives a neat...
Your steering box extension is way neater than mine, I think I know how the extension is pulled onto the steering box splines using a cut off LR...
Excellent work, the engine looks so good sitting in there, you impressed the hell outa me, again!
Burtz block has only two holes in the drain boss, a center one threaded and another plain through hole.
Nice work, but I think your biggest problem might be controlling the distortion when welding the two parts together. When I did a similar thing to...
It's been a bit quiet around here for a while, but I just managed to make summat rather good happen to move things along a bit! Didn't realise my...
I do like the painted grill shell, looks sharper than the usual swap.
Marvellous!

I'm looking for ideas to stop oil starvation in right hand bends on a Burtz engine. Modified stock pump, seems like it needs some sort of baffles...
Sorry moglite but I had to click the like button cos there isn't a 'Wow this 3D printing suff impressed the heck outa me' button..
Can't find the reference now, but somewhere Terry Burtz wrote something like a 97 was too much carb, and an 81 is a better choice.

I used to work in a body shop (fitter not panel beater) after paint and re-fitting the rubbers doors often needed tweeking. Once an owner arrived...
