Hi everyone, sorry for disappearing but I'm still alive. I won't leave the thread hanging like so many others do and there will be a complete finished machine as I did with my 45.

It's been a nightmare few months with ordered parts going missing in the post and not arriving, I had to wait 2 months for the gaskets to arrive which meant I couldn't go any further with the engine rebuild. Also had alot of other stuff to sort out around the house which has slowed the budget down.
Anyways I got a good start on the engine and it's coming together nicely, there's still a bit more to go as I have to strip and paint the fuel tank. I haven't done the tank yet as I'm looking to get a customer decal done which no one wants to do unless I order 1000 decals.
I'm going to get some new fuel lines today and a spark plug and maybe inquire about blades.

It's amazing what a bit of paint can do.
