Ha! I was just about to say maybe you arent a jerk for having those FMA cards on the counter, but then you posted the pics of all those sweet parts and i still think you are a JERK!
No, that is a sweet project, i am very jealous....i am hopefully going tomorrow to pic up a chassis for my UL. It's a knuckle/ul frame with a pan neck...Comment

It is possible and happens all the time.
Nice build mike. I'm really liking where your going with it.Thanks for the pics,,gotta love the VL front ends on a prewar. Need anything let me know and i'll help if i can. A little insight on my next build(not meaning to hijak but i thought you would like this) seeing how my kid is getting lame at school and his grades are down. Education is first... So it's on to this. 38UH,,, 108 production. keep posting pics, this thread build deserves alot more.

38 motor looks real good. I was thinking panhead next but I might have to do another U about ten years back I mocked one up in a vl frame and I would like to build it after this one, the alumium heads look huge in a vl frame cause they are I guess. so your putting off the kids 45 build for now ?Comment

ya, my kid is screwing up in school so no build till he gets his "umphh" together but i am going to freemont to look for parts. Always on the hunt for parts. That U would go great in a VL frame. Do it!!! That would look so good and run sooo nice.. If i may,, speaking of panheads. Here is another one i got going....
Again, i apologize for the jack...

Got a couple packages in the mail. Chris cc member CMA406 sent me this perfect clutch arm for the tranny and James Gaskets made us some .045 head and base gaskets so we can lower the compression a bit. The pistons are turned down and are at .020 down at tdc so we needed to lift the cylinders and heads.

Beautiful build, thanks for showing the assembly.
Could you tell me why there are 2 rod holes on the clutch arm? One for foot and one for mousetrap maybe? Different angles in the holes?Comment

Hey Mike, figured this thread needed to be on top again seeing how it's the best on the 33'r. Hows the build going? I'm looking into why the 2 holes are in the early clutch release levers as well. Way nice that Chris sent that rare early arm to you. Those are hard to come by and pricy. Went to fremont and scored some cheap stuff for my son(not meaning to hijack). gonna try to run em "as is". If you get time, like to see more pics of the build.

Nice score those parts will go perfectly for your boys 45 build. yep not much for updates sorry been a bit busy with customers lately.

We are good with the 16" wheels but kinda thinking a correct 18 for the front at least would be nice so if anybody has a line on one with the correct finish (rust) I'd be interested. Will stay with the 16 on the rear. ThanksComment
