Ronnie, it was my pleasure.  Better on your beautiful 3A, than tucked away in my parts bin.

Really nice work!  Congratulations.

How can I turn these pictures? I turned them over in my downloads but still come out up side down on here.

After 11 months it's finally out of my way here at my shop. Drove it the 8 mile trip home. Has a few issues like main seal leaking and the carburetor flooded out the last half mile. I know my float level is set correct so maybe it's the metering rod set to high. I taped on the carb in case float was sticking and it has not done it since but I have not run it much because I do not have tags yet. Any ideas on that? Also my main seal is leaking some. Should I use the rope seal or the neoprene type? Other than those issues it did pretty good. Not very comfortable with the seat so close and getting your foot to the accelerator pedal takes some time to get used to also. How would you drive one of these with big boots on?

My 1st short run! This was her first drive in about 20-25 years. It did well. Have what I think is a rear main seal leaking a little but otherwise not to bad. I did forget just how bad the brakes are on old cars. Also it smells like its running rich. Think idle mixture screw will help that? The carburetor seems to be working very good though. No hesitation or stalling at all. Also put my hood on. Should get the last parts this week. Here are a few pics my wife took of it. I could tell she had her doubts but it made it back.
