Paint is my weakness as well. It's an art form to do it right, and none of my paintjobs turn out well. As an old friend said, they "look fine from 15-20 feet away"... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MainelyWheelhorse 1,362 #23952 Posted Tuesday at 01:58 AM Tonight, I opened up the remaining throttle slot for the C-141 and test installed both choke and throttle. I may need to drill out the throttle lever pivot to flip it as it’s backwards from normal now. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MainelyWheelhorse 1,362 #23955 Posted yesterday at 01:11 AM Today between hanging out with my nieces and nephews, I got more work done on the Frankenstein C-141. I got the frame ends welded by my father, and assembled the rear end up to the fender mount. I also installed the upper dash and started to figure out how to get the throttle and choke working. All I have to do now is hook up the throttle and choke and change out the fuel pump on the K321 and it may run and move. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
