Many Thanks --- Steve -- and -- Mario.---- Much of the sheet metal is definitely what ----Jack 1957 has in his Signature Quote that states --- Set A Goal So Big That You Can't Achieve Until You Grow Into The Person That Can. This project has been an ongoing steep learning curve with much help from many of the talented people on this forum. Thank you all for your help and support. ---- Qkiss

Thanks Dave good hearing from you. ---- Congratulations on MSOTM
I have been mounting oil filters - oil accumulator - Vacuum pump - Machining pulley drive mandrel for the front of the crank - fabricating tubing regulator bracket - radiator mounts - front end travel limiters and things that are not sheet metal shaping. Although you guys might be interested in seeing this stuff.
I really need to learn how to post pictures as attachments. One of the things that has slowed me down is the time it tacks to go through the Photo Bucket routine.

Steve, mounting of components interests me. Since some of us are building whole cars, I think it still fits the forum.

Front end travel can now be tuned to monitor wheel standing on various track conditions.

Now a question? Are this photos OK or do they need to be made smaller?
Thank you
Steve
