That looks just like the 350 that I saw yesterday on a stand in my brother in laws garage. Great work!

Thanks fellas.

I did a lot of work on the carburetor this weekend. I did NOT like how the carburetor finish was turning out so I stripped all the parts back off of it and dropped it in some brake fluid overnight. After that I re-primed it with semi gloss black and shot an enamel based coat of chrome silver and gold mix and let that dry overnight. I installed some fuel lines made from a straight pin and drilled holes into the carburetor in which to mount the dual feed assembly. I topped that off with an anodized fuel fitting from RB Motion and will be running braided fuel line from there on down to the fuel pump. I reinstalled the PE throttle lever back onto the throttle shaft made from a smaller pin and brushed a light coat of Tamiya Smoke onto the whole carburetor to bring out all the details.

I'm MUCH happier with the outcome:

You're insane. But I like it.

Thanks Johnny.

Progress for today and I hate clogging up the picture space and all but I was pretty stoked after seeing this thing with the carb installed. Currently working on the fuel lines and filter..........

I managed to get the fuel line and filter installed this morning along with a scratchbuilt throttle attaching rod. Piece at a time...........we're getting there..........
