Just read this, looks like a stub tailed willy - haven't seen one in the wild before.

did abit more on the back end , i personally think it looks bad ass :) 

Good idea of doing it that way.......

 

How'd you get that idea??

Guess the mad ideas come from the local water we all drink (or maybe the Voddy and coke  )

 

Looking good though.......

OK, so it's going to be easier just to do it rather try to mock it up on the computer (damn technology)

Not much happening at the moment should do some engine work this week , i did source some 7 x 13 mambas not to shabby for 60 quid need new tyres though,   , i did source some stainless one piece big valves out a old slark racing head, they are 38 inlet and 32 exhaust,, 

,

the inlets are actually two big i have been told, so going to use some 36 mm inlets out a big valve metro head, and also may have to make some offset exhaust valve guides which could be interesting :) more updates soon.

, i also milled of the top of the standard centre cap in order to fit the steel centre strap, , as you can see i also fitted new cam bearings , pulled them in with custom made ally cups and then with a new standard cam and abit off eng blue scraped of the high points and polished the bearing until all high points were gone and the cam moved free by hand. progress is pretty slow as doing a degree and have a 3 year old and a baby, but its getting there :) over and out
