Default Getting Closer to Start Up F-1
Played hooky today! went and got my wide whites put on.. first time on the ground in a long time. I sure like the way it looks compared to how i bought it. I got the running V8 last winter and im just about there to start. run a gas line, get a battery, and just run a jumper to fire. Just a quick min so i can hear and check, i need to get a nice stock rad but are expensive. Ken

Looking good! Got my fingers crossed it starts right up for you! I need to dig mine out and get it running again. Shame on me!

good to see you have insulated the cab, don't forget the insides of the doors and under the cowl, sure makes them cooler/warmer and cuts down the road noise

Great work. Nothing like a red flattie poking up in the engine bay.

Ken, that looks great! Those look like radials to me and not so wide whitewalls. What are they? They look good.
