Bitchen work Danny as always. Heard the motor he's using was built or with help of Hector Uriaus. If so, that is very cool.

And rightly so, Steve. It would be cool to see something regarding Hector's work on the engine displayed on the car when you get to the exterior.

The flip side is that it's a fitting tribute. Hector's touch will be on it.

Way back in the "Nam" era, we student aviation tin knockers learned our Cleco's via an obscene limerick.

"Black, Cadmium, Copper, Brass......stuff a Cleco up your #&&."

Not a pleasant thought, but effective as a memorization tool.  Cheesy

I'll try to remember that, thanks Phil! Shocked Danny thanks for your reply as well, much cleaner than Phil's poem! Cheesy

Steve, I didn't know Hector, but having read the various threads on the UAC forum, I can see that he was an insirational person for many. Draw inspiration from him not being around, and just think how excited he would be if he was still here. He can't put his energy into it any more so you need to on his behalf. Good luck with the rest of the build.
