Made a different  way to secure the new scoop and tray today on my lunch . Will finish at home on the mill and lathe. the struts Going  to the tray will be polished then cleared and made out of brass, should look nice with the scoop that is back with yellow pearl.

Thanks . Hoping for a good showing from this thing. Would be cool to get everyone together.  I am going to try and make it out to some of the scjb stuff .




Got some of the wiring finished up ,and a new bottle for the pop off valve today.  made a new bracket  for the alternator to adjust the tension, went with some thing different and made it out of brass.
