That will look great when done, ...but..

You will have to drive it into the wall, or attack it with a ball nose hammer, to get it to match the rest of the bus.... :roll:

Nice one Donovan!

I do find it quite amazing that no pro outfits could/would help you with the bends, yet Z could do it with a R5/6K hand bender.....?????? WTF?

Thanks all , just dont hope that my bird dropping style of welding stuffs it up.

Is a bit strange that I was turned down by a lot of people/places and companies not able to do the bends and Zahier does it all on a hand bender.
Will be removing the SP carbs soon, this will be up for sale with manifolds and linkages and will need a bit of a sort as its leaking petrol.

Nice Hurst repro - you want to do some more for resale?
