Well I finely got back to the forum and a lot has happened. I did go to Thunder Hill Sept 10th and had a lot fun. I tried to upload a short clip but it failed.

I sent the crank to get re-ground and No.4 rod was stretched so I got a new one.
I had a used tank an I got a used Auto Verdi 6 stage pump that I cut down to a 4 stage (1 pressure and 3 scavenging). I modified the oil pan again, moved the alternator to the right side and mounted the pump where the alternator was.

With the bad (cold) weather here I am working on a few other thinks to finish the car. First Is the front fenders. I made a one piece mold and laid up one fender but destroyed the mold removing it. Next I used the one fender to make a two piece mold and laid up the second fender.

Using the former tool on some 1 inch conduit I am working on the fender stays.
