Kelly 1,033 #8 Posted October 2, 2008 All I can say is WOW, that is nice, You could mount duels on those axles, looks like the orig. kohler gave it's blower housing up for a belt guard, and my Grandma might have made that seat cover, I think I had a sweater like that when I was a kid :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

linen beige 15 #11 Posted October 2, 2008 I love the steering conversion! That wheel does look familiar, Lotus maybe? And the throttle lever should mount to the hood top, just behind the steering shaft. There was no choke lever on the RJs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarge 3,465 #13 Posted October 4, 2008 Steering wheel ?? Possibly Opel , maybe even one of the later 70's junk Jag's , if you blow up the photo enough it looks to have a cursive "E" on the center cap ... I'll pass it around to some of the local rod n custom guys... Sarge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
