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.

Here is that motor. Picture took this mmorning...
I finished the intake and now i'm working on the exhaust.
To be honost, Hectors passing has taken away alot of the excitement and energy about this car...[attachment=1]

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.

Without a doubt Fred.

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

That home made dry sump pump you did looks fantastic!  And kudos to you re: Hector's memory.  That thing is sweeeeet.

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.  :D

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

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.

Did it with a chop saw and a belt sander.   The collector pieces were all machined.

Hey Steve, I wanna say first, with Danny, you, and of course Hector Uriaus, this is going to be one bad ass race car. But remember this, when the day comes when you bring the car out for the first time to run, you'll be hearing the cheers from the crowds, but Hector will be cheering you from the Heaven's. When this happens, you give it all it's got, to show it was all worth it. And you know, Hector will have a smile ear to ear.

Ted

Great picture, Fabian.

Steve, I never knew that you were our oldest member... I always thought that some of the earlier members were. Research, indeed!
