Side by Side on Dollies









ENGINES FIT DOLLIES




They fit great. Port engine on and the STBD engine to go. I'm going to flush the transmissions and bolt them up. I'm hoping to start them soon.

My handy work!









It is amazing what you can do with AutoCad and a 4KW Amada Laser! I love the fact that I can get 2D machined parts off the laser and with a programable press break Wala! These are my throttle cable brackets and my engine dollies that will support the engines shortly. I have to change the seals out in the trannies and I'll be starting them.

I also got my carborator levers done and on the carbs, I have designed the carb cable holder that will bolt onto the manfold. I got the engine dollies fabricated, the y will be going out for powder coat next week.
