Thanks man, I love that my grandpa painted it too. The motor has been about a year & a half in the planning & it's really coming together now. Hope it runs as good as it looks.

You have raised the bar for inliners. It is one of those engines that I find myself staring at, so unique, rare, excellent finishes. It makes me say,

Thanks Bro, Well your 6 was kinda the genesis of mine. You already did the turbo so I had to find some other way. We'll have to go cruise once mine is up & running.

Sounds good.
Cruise and a few good brews, with the trucks parked right out front.

Very nice, and with it sitting up to that white firewall, I like the rotor cap a lot more now too.

Here's a couple pictures of it all buttoned up before it went to exhaust today. Hopefully it'll be on the road early next week.

Maybe i missed in while crusing through your thread--but what's the deal with your fuel injection setup?

It's a F.A.S.T. fuel injection setup.

Thanks so much Delmo! As a big fan of your work that means a lot! Now I just gotta get my truck layed out like yours.

Hey Paintman, I'm using a 1961 Schlitz 15 & a half gallon keg. It's been fitted with a fuel sending unit that works with the stock gauge. The fuel pump is an electric one that comes with the F.A.S.T. fuel injection setup. It's controlled by the computer.

Well It'd probably be running now but I'm waiting to take delivery of a new radiator as my old one is toast. So here's a couple more detailed under hood shots & new tail pipes. I'll post new exhaust pics once I get it back on the lift.
