Thanks for the kind words! It's been a labor of love.

As an experiment, and for a bit of nostalgia, I thought I'd try a single-carb setup. I had one on a sand rail I built back in '77, and I got these parts with a salvage engine I picked up several months ago.

It runs great on the stand! Under a load...we shall see...

Hey what is that sign you are doing in the last picture? It almost looks like the sign language symbol for step father.

I wish I could recall what we were doing, this was nearly 40 years ago. It was probably from a popular TV show. I'm seated in the buggy, my sister and her boyfriend were standing, and none of us use sign language, or have a step father. Maybe my sister knows... I miss that rail though!

That long ago it was probably something from Mork and Mindy. Lol

Looks like the salute Robin Williams used to give in "Mork & Mindy" ......

That sounds awesome! I've got half a mind to send you mine to redo!

Mystery solved on the buggy salute...it's the Jimmy Buffett "Fins UP!" Hmmm...El Paso is a long way from Margaritaville!

Congratulations and thanks. I am nearly finished with a 140 that has taken me way too long, almost a year now on and off. How long did this take? Beautiful.

Great pics. Great low mile core. They are still out there.

You should be proud.

Do you do the sofa blasting in that bench top blast cabinet?
