The Roofus Special

[Flipper_1938]

I stumbled upon some cool steel bushings.

Nice! where did you find those? off the shelf part?

I can't remember off the top of my head if Jaguar and MG had the same spline size for their wheels. I think they did. MG ran 14" and 15" and I think Triumph and Jag had 16". I bought a pair of MGB's for $100 last year and they are both wire wheel cars....

They are actually from toyota fuel rails. The bushings that keep you from overtightening them. I am basically just using them for the holes. They will be buried in weld.

I really need to get back on this thing.

Yes you do.
Thought that you were going to part it out?
glad that you haven't.

All the disappointment I had when I heard you were not going to complete this project was worth it.

I can't wait to see how it turns out!

I can only add to the above, I had been following this with great anticipation. I had been hoping it hadnt been thrown to far to the side.

There is far to much creativity in this build to just walk away. Soldier on and see it through to the end. You will not be disappointed. We all see it.

Don't sweat it. The Roofus owes you nothing at this point and will cost nothing to sit there. I haven't touched my 50 in almost a year, my Datsun in almost 2 years nor drivien my 69 Chevelle in 7 years. [P

Mine figured this was way to far back in the stash of build threads....

While I don't disagree with you guys, you really have to ask yourselves...is work on the Roofus really worth delaying the LandScraper?

I, for one, cannot answer this question.

I know I really need to put more time in on this one....it's just hard to remember what it was supposed to be.
