A little more metal work.
This piece has more bends than straights, I was terrified to cut it out but WTH:-) The piece I cut and bent so far I think will be a template to make one slightly larger and slightly more accurate. Also the support is removed below so I can access both sides to dress it up before welding the support back on the bottom:-) Sam Grewal dropped off my original master cylinder and water pump at John Stuarts for a stainless sleeve and rebuild on the MS, and a rebuild of the WP, they are ready but I have to get to Stoney Creek to pick up some day soon.... My engine is completed and I have made arrangements with F.J. Smith to run it in on his Super Flo Dyno and tune it. This is a special item to me as FJ is a bit of an Ontario Oldsmobile Drag Race Legend. The engine builder will be part of the dyno day which makes me feel a better. I have to restore some more small parts for the outside of the engine such as pulleys, alt brackets, etc to be ready for the dyno. A good portion are ready: Carb, Ignition, spark plugs, WIX oil filters, Brad Penn break in oil, Brad Penn oil, I have had a few items delivered to my good friend oleredalert date code spark plug wires, wire retainers, fan belt, carb return spring, etc. I will drive this car, no ifs ands or buts!! (One butt in the drivers seat) Ryan

FJ will set you straight. I didn't know he did street tunes. He was/is one of the best in the business.

I was concerned he wouldn't want to dyno another persons work but no issue. Ryan
