Nothing to show you yet, I have been busy finishing a painting for the Federal duck stamp contest which is due tomorrow, long hours........ put me behind on other projects.
The doors, rockers and valance are done, and the body gets the makeover next week.

I promise, next week I am going to start in on the car pics will follow.
Here is it in the shop when they were assembling.
Here is a shot of my 930 intake and eurohead fuel distributor.

Pictease.

Snorkle for the float test.

So you are using CIS and turbo. COOL.

Fitting is for the fuel tank vent. I checked into different air filters for the 930 intake, the stock one was huge and the aftermarkets to expensive, one of the Pelicans pointed me towards the air cleaner mod and it cost less than 20 bucks.

In Minnesota painting ducks stamps is what everyone does for a living, thats why something like 13 of the last 17 Federal ducks stamps were won by Minnesota artists!

Believe it or not, there are guys that depend on winning a stamp contest as there sole income. I have been very fortunate over the past 15 years with 5 stamp designs, I never go into it thinking i'm going to win but am always hopeful. When you win one you cant compete for two years and after you win two you have to sit out four. After last years three wins I'm now having to sit out four years in the Minnesota contests.

Im finishing my Federal painting today ( Wood Ducks ) and then on to the car. I hope to have it up and running and all sorted out so Qarl can use it when he comes and visits me in October.

Im taking him hunting ( I wish he would drive up the Hummer ) it would be nice to see one actually used for something other than a grocery getter.
