Ron, you'll definitely be on my short list to get one. To keep my cost down and to make it a little easier for me, what I'm planning to do is make up a few sets of wheels, brackets and the 2 other bits ( that complete the set). I have a list of all the other components, these can be bought online, or locally. I'll also have instructions on the install. Also, the aluminum bits will have a machined finish, maybe a slight polish on the lathe. I don't have the cash to get these things anodized :lol:

I'll only ask for one favor to the folks that finally get a setup, keep all the technical parts.... sizes and such, type of cable used, to yourselfs :D

thanks

Some good news...I went to a swap meet and found a Weber carb for $20 :D Now I can see what has to be done to get a setup for Webers. I may also have a place that does water jet cutting. I'll be headed that way on Monday..

Cool...let me know if you need a pair. I have a core pair I have been keeping around for a rebuild. They aren't pretty but I will send them if you need them for mockup.

I appriciate the offer :D , but, I found out what has to be done with the weber setup. It's a bit trickier, but, I have an idea...... :D

Worked on the Weber setup today......a couple of bugs to work out, but I think it's very doable :)

I have the dell setups down pretty good. I'm installing the Dells today and will take some pics. Once I'm happy with how things work, I'll get my butt in gear and make up a couple sets. The Weber setup is a bit different, but, not that much work. I just have to get more aluminum, my scrap pile is bigger than my finished pile :D

I mounted my Dells.....It took me longer to polish the brackets than machining them :lol:

There is a small problem, It seems that the return spring on the drivers side carb is weak. I'll see if I can toughen that bad boy up :D

Ooooooooo car porn ;-)
Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.
