The rain tray keeps my '70 std clean.
Here it is w/ about 750 miles on the rebuild.
Have since added the red decal to the air filter

WOW what a response! Thanks gang! What a great collection of engine bays. (way to set the bar HIGH guys!)
Glen - you current ride looks great! That's pretty much the look I think I'm going to go for with the exception of the fan shroud which I am going to do like 74Bajabug did on the red one - match it to the body. I'm thinking semi-gloss black for the rest of the tin and brushed for all the aluminum. None of the aluminum pieces are new, so they will need a bit of brushing.
I pulled the old engine this evening. Now I have to start cleaning the engine bay, installing new transmission mounts (why not? I'm there anyway) and painting.
Keep posting! Let's see what else is out there... |

Go ahead and bash me about the coil cover, and potential overheating. If I keep it, I'm going to run the unused emissions tap on my doghouse to blow some air in there, and drill out holes along the bottom. If I fry my coil, I have been warned (and I do carry a spare).
I'm going to put the oil bath back, as well. Need to strip and paint it. I just ran out of the grey. BTW, it's supposed to be Hammertone finish by rustoleum, but kind of looks more like orange peel. Oh well, better than what I started with. |
I am courious about the loose belt? Do you run it like that? |

That is really nice! The air cleaner looks so clean and shiny I thought it was chrome at first glance. Nice work! |
