Here is a picture that my friend Jeff Cochrane took in Daytona. He is a real wizard with the camera. Go to his website at www.speedkingphoto.com and check out his other pics

Here is a nos 55 and up tail flap that we just got in the mail for a 55 project we are doing. It is really nice.


I got my sears cylinders back from the platers last week, and I got my intake manifold today. These cases are not the cases I will be using on the run.



HEre are the emblems for Tim's bike, we were going to parkerize them, but when we got them back from the chrome stripper, one was brass, so we sent them off to get nickle plated. I already have the letters painted, and hope to have the spears painted black before I got to ohio in the am. They look GREAT!




Here is the other side of my engine. I cant wait to have this thing running!

UPDATES!

Tim headed back to the uk today. we wheeled his bike out for a couple pictures. It is 80 percent done. He did all of the work and did a good job. It was fun having him around and teaching him new things. I am looking forward to seeing him in Daytona in February. This working relationship was good practice for when Ryan shows up in a couple weeks to rebuild his 45 that he won in the essay contest. I am a lot better teacher now, than I was before tim showed up.



I also got the wheels for my sears, they are awesome! I have a different set of rims that I am going to lace up to them. The front hub is aluminum, and the spokes are stainless, so I can get the front wheel put back together lickity split, the rear hub has to be re plated though.



There were a couple of these little tubes in some of the boxes I thought that they were neat.

Wiring shots of TIm's bike

I ran these wires a little shorter than stock ones, they look great!


Since Tim is running a mag, he cant put it in the stock position, We relocated it to the clutch pedal backing plate, It is a tidy set up, and I like it a lot.

Tim's bike!

Here is Tim on his rolling chassis.


Here is the motor before the pushrods were installed. It has parkerized early 36 frogeyes. It looks really neat



HEre it is installed in the frame with all of the oil lines on it. My friend doug did all of the nickel plating, it is perfect!




Here is the jewelery pic. This is one of the prettiest motors that we have ever done. Check out the nickel plated pushrod tubes, parkerized frogeyes and all of the other neat details. I really like this one. It is difficult to improve on the looks of a knucklehead engine, but we did it this time.
