Gentlemen:
Sorry for the delayed response, i just now saw your replies.
Hoyt: i was at Springfield 05 (& 06 &07 &08). The whole time i was building the rod, my son kept saying "surely, dad, you're not going to put a 6 cyl in a deuce roadster??!!" On the way home, after seeing all the interest in the car (by all the old-timers there), he said "ok, ok, now i see!" Hah! I very well remember your 261 rod in the vendor's building. Very impressive! At the time i think it was the only other inliner deuce i had seen. Look forward to meeting you there next year?
GMDad: Thanks! That's my BABY and as y'all can see by my other thread under forced induction, i'm PROUD of her.
And now, after shamefully being a freeloader of all y'all's wisdom these past 4 years, i'm a proud INLINERS member now!
