Yeah, the more I look at it, the more I think it still needs to come down a little...oh well, now that they're cut they will be easier to get out the second time

Appears I still have the valves adjusted too tight... or the cam timing is off...can't seem to get it to stop "detonating" at part throttle and trying to "butterfly" back through the carb...ugh...

Yeah, worked on it all day yesterday fine tuning my timing issue...turns out that for some reason the balancer had 2 timing marks and I had the timing so far advanced(accidentally) that I could see the "wrong" timing mark with the timing light. The "wrong" timing mark was telling me that I was at 10 degrees behind when I was actually about 20 degrees advanced anyway, got it figured out and also tuned the stumble out of it. Now for the frustrating part, after the painter sanded the entire passenger side with 1000 grit he decided he had little league baseball he needed to be doing, haven't seen him since , he hasn't even started on the drivers side and he has lots of orange peel to get out. The front and back glass are still not in, the installer says the front window is on back order...sheesh...

However...I did leave a small set of marks in the driveway and drove it down the highway with no windshield, no inspection, no tags...no front and back window was a bit "airish"... but it did run out pretty nice Pics coming...

I think it looks good. Not as good as a real rear bumper, but 1000 times better than a step bumper.
