Thee latest pictures are all stuff I have done this winter.
     Wanted a 1928 Thompson bracket, thankfully someone posted good pictures of an original with a tape measure, made building one way easier.

Wated a set of M2 tripod brackets for the rear steps, again found good pictures and made some dies to bend them up. Have made some for guys that needed them.

Got started on the engine, bored it .020 over, had to put intake valve seats in it, they were pretty rusted. Going to use the bearings over, they look OK but if the clearance is too much I'm just going to solder up the inserts and re bore them to whatever size I need, I can be a tight wad at times.

WOW!!! Great job. If you need engine gaskets I sell new made sets. PM me if interested. Also, engine bearings are not that bad in price. I wouldn't be to cheap on that stuff. Anyway you are doing a terrific job. Keep the photos coming. ;D
