SHOP UPDATE: Bill's roadster is getting really close


 Susi and I hung the doors and installed the running boards

 Susi finished all the Dynaliner
 We installed the Glide seat frame
 I mounted the Moon remote oil filter on the firewall
 The chrome radiator hoses came in and I got them installed
 I decided to mount the coil next the the HEI distributor using these 2 threaded holes in the head
 I fabricated a bracket from 1/8" aluminum plate. I bent and polished it

 There is the polished finned coil installed. Susi made sure I mounted it so all the fins run in the same direction. That girl has a good eye for the details
 Our intake manifold made it back from polishing. Looks great, great job by Andy Tants!
 Since we are using an electric fuel pump I replaced the fuel pump with a polished stand and finned breather
 W had the road draft tube powder coated. Looks very close to polished aluminum. Love it. We also did the crank pulley
 Carbs are temporarily installed. Waiting on some studs and gaskets

Susi and I cut and run all the plug wires yesterday. We are so close to firing this one off I can taste it. Just a couple more days and we should light it up. Then we can finish installing the fenders and hood and off to upholstery.
