Looks Awesome. But your axle boots are installed wrong. Seams should be in the 9 & 3 o'clock Position facing towards the rear. Smile Keep the updates coming.

yeah i actually glass beaded it and it works great i cleaned it more times then i wish to discuss and we know what we are doing here mate. Not our first rodeo! Also the engine runs great! Put down 38.6 hp on the rollers Smile


I glass bead carbs as well and have never had an issue with one...guess it's how you clean it afterwards.

Well I have been pretty slack on the progress of my oval. I have been restoring a 74 kombi to sell. But I have been collecting parts to put the oval together once I get the body painted. I will be sure to post some new pics in the future. Cheers Jonathan
