FarmerJim 5 #1 Posted August 29, 2010 Just wanted to show a few pictures of the raider 12 I brought back from the dead. Started with a chassis donated from a neighbor boy and found a 60's vintage k-301 from a fellow I work with. after a complete overhaul and searches for various miscellanious parts, this is what I have. I would like to thank Gene, Kelly,Chuck and all who were with me in spirit, it starts and runs like a dream and I'm kinda proud of the engine work, It's been years since I've tackled something like this. I thought about a complete teardown and restore but paintwise it isn't all that bad (excepting those ugly wh decals on the hood side.) It will never be a show queen. What do you guys think?

JimD 3,345 #5 Posted August 29, 2010 I don't see any smoke in the pic of the running Raider, so you must have done a good job on the engine. Nice work Jim! :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
