Default Hi Mike

Hi Mike.

Glad to have you join us

My best bit of advice would be to post some pitures of what you have. Also contact Alex Blair for the manuals. I got one from him and it has been an excellent resource to have.

For the engine a lot of the components can be found with hot rodders. Stewart Loy and myself highly recomend "Dennis Carpenter reproductions" for anything with the engine.

There was someone not that long ago who posted they had some track adjuster wheels for sale. Try looking in the For sale/wanted section.

My other bit of advice is to set reasonable goals for yourself and work on one part at a time.

As an example with mine. I first got the engine running. Once it was running I rebuilt the electrical system. When the rad blew it forced me to stop driving and get it fixed. Now I have a brand new rad with original fittings. While i was saving money for the rad I decided to pull off both sets of track and re build them. My plan now is that over the winter I wil try to get as many parts as I can so that when Spring comes I can start building it.

I know that others here will be able to provide much more info than I can and best of luck.

Sincerely
Jordan Baker
