It's like eating that elephant, one bite at a time. When & where are you going to run it on its maiden voyage?
I got an email from Hoosier today.
What is your shipping address to send you a new tube?

Push rods are here, maybe tomorrow they will go in.
Worked on some sheet metal inside and mounted shifter.
Half the brake system tightened and tweaked.
If all these parts stay installed and working it will be started soon.
Really starting to look like a race car now and not just a pile of parts.

Today was brakes, fuel, electrical, cleanup, etc.
Not a lot of any of it, just a little of all of it.
