66 SWB 912 full resto

[Robind]

Awaiting the Max majic Solid-shaft Solex carbs, Bosch 022 cast iron distributor and a flat spring steel engine mounting bar. Early '12 style at its best

[Robind]

After a week of metal bashing on the shell took some relief with some parts and planning.
Stainless system on the way from Rich as wanted to keep the period look but will have it coated as well and also found the guys to build us an RSR0012

Also the adapters to keep stock filters on the Webers are on there way

[Robind]

Long way off needing yet but thanks all the same Bruce loving them

[Ian Gunney]

Great progress here - at this rate it'll be done for Christmas!

[Robind]

Ha ha easy bit so far the shell is going to be a long haul.....

[Robind]

thought it was time to take a breather from the workshop and post a few pics, it has been a few weeks of long nights etc but starting to see some progress on the shell

decided to have a night of sill work, certainly like using OEM panels whole thing just feels a better fit

Wow, you're steaming through this. Wish I was moving at a quarter of the pace you are. Looking great.

feel bloody knacked though

Its been a busy few weeks on metalwork but seem to making some progress and she starting to look like a shell again

hopefully this weekend with a few late nights I can get her off the roasting spit and onto the ramp to start aligning rear quaters, doors, front wings. always like to check gaps on and off the spit to make sure everything is right

still working to have her in paint for Xmas but with a few hundred hours to go we will see where we end up










using genuine panels certainly helps and enjoying fabricating the obsoulete parts

Should there be a hole in the bottom of the kidney bowls to let anything out that might get in?
When I did mine there was a mouse hole in the bottom to vent the cavity.

[KS]

The early ones are completely open at the bottom (for good or bad...).

[Robind]

Thanks guys, have searched a fair few early resto threads but can't see exactly how much should be open and indeed some seem to go for a hole instead
