Pieces and parts continue to go into the 6 to make it look closer to being a functional car. Below is an overview of the latest.

TR6 Reassembly

Dean is currently plumbing the fuel lines from the tank to the engine compartment for the Patton fuel injection. The return line is in, the vent line is in place, leaving only the fuel supply to the front to do. Finishing the lines will allow for other components to be connected.

TR6 Paint Job – Before

This fine TR6 is being disassembled before going to Collision Masters in South Carolina for rust repair and paint. I wanted to put up a picture because before and afters are enjoyable. I do love a repaint.

Triumph Spitfire Improvements

This Spitfire is in to go from a single carb to dual carbs and a new exhaust. They had dual carbs across the pond but singles here. A Spitfire is a small car, so upon seeing them I’m tempted to give one to my eight year old so he can learn to drive. What could go wrong?

Famished

This 250 race car was cutting out at high rpm. One of the problems was fuel delivery. New (larger) lines are going in from the tank to the front. This car will go back on the dyno before being sent back out.

More Stagrolet

P1020228

P1020225The wheel cylinders on the rear drums of the Stag were frozen solid, so we removed them (and installed new ones) to facilitate the rear wheels rotating. The three wire alternator only had one wire to it and, therefore, didn’t function. Dean added the two necessary wires and now it works well.
