another 003 done....finally

[Jimc]

so i have been working on my last 003. i finally got it done and running. thought i would share some pics. this one i did for a customer of mine. he saw my first one then said he had to have it. over the past few months both jerry and gimpy have supplied a bunch of parts to me for this thing and the injectors tuned and rebuilt by jerry as well. thanks guys.

Wow! That thing is a work of art! I'd be afraid to use it and get it all dirty and oily...

As usual, your workmanship is first class & then some! Very nice looking unit & better than new! The new owners should be proud to have such a fine piece of equipment. As they say, love it when a plan comes together!

thanks, i really doubt the guy will use it. maybe once in a great while. he is just into really cool old stuff. i have restored quite a few things for him over the years. old caddys, antique oil pumps, etc.

Jim,
Excellent work! I get more jealous every time I see your creations. Don't think it would work for me though-I would have to wax it each time it was run...

Awesome Job!!!

I got mine going in the last week or so but it doesn't look anything like that. Like someone mentioned earlier in the thread if it did I wouldn't want to use it.

Glad to hear you got it running, sweet looking resto!

Jim, besides the basic work in getting it running, about how many hours do your restorations take? Looks great and is an inspiration.

Any printed parts on it?

Gimp,
Thanks for coming to my rescue.

Jerry you know the problem was that this generator was going too smooth and easy. Last thing to do was flow time the pump and that where the $hit hit the fan lol. In any case I got it all sorted now. I ran the thing today for a couple hours at about 100-110%. It runs fantastic.

Hours...oh boy. If the ip didn't screw with me in the end I could have had it all done in about 50-55hrs or so. This is the third one so I kinda have it down pretty good and all parts and hardware on hand. I don't use any original nut bot or washers. Easier when everything is brand new.

tjim..you know it. new knobs, ip linkage end and fan shroud fasteners.
