Very nice, I love Hilborn crab traps.

 

No. The Holley Pro Dominator cants the carbs about 10 degrees, so it wont allow them to be used inline.

 

Got my firewall built after work Friday. I don't have access to a plasma cutter, so I mocked it up in cardboard and paid the local weld shop $15 to cut it all out on my sheetmetal. Well worth the money, as it would have taken me all morning, plus grinding to cut with my sawzall!
Brought the sheets home and tacked it all in place. Still need to close in the tranny hump, and weld it all solid, but it's looking way more finished without the hole!

 

Hey I'm glad your using safety glasses. The fire wall looks perfect.

 

Learned the hard way about safety glasses, and now I keep enough pairs all over so that I have no excuse for not having a pair handy! I can't wear them under the welding helmet, but keep them on the cowl so as soon as I start cutting or grinding they are handy!

 

I learded the hard way myself. I was doing my very first gasket match on a set of iron heads. A sliver went into my eye and was bugging me still the next day so I went to the med stop and some wanna be doctor went at my eye with a needle and sent me on my way. Three or four days go by and no I can go in direct sunlight because it hurts so bad. I went to the hospital and had a real doctor lookk at it. The iron sliver had rusted into my eye and they have to use a tiny drill to get it out.

 

I did a similar one. Walked up to watch a friend cutting a part on his lathe when a chip flew out and hit me dead center in my left eye. Difference was I went straight to the hospital, and they sent me to an eye surgeon who cut it out and patched my eye. He said when he took the patch off 2 weeks later I might lose partial vision in the eye, but it was perfect until I reached 50 and I started to need corrective lense on that eye.

 

I have one good eye one bad as well. The good one is better than 20/20 so I can see but my depth perseption is off alittle and night driving can be exciting.

 

At 60 I no longer have one of each. Now I have one slightly bad, and one fairly bad.

 

Blind in one eye, can't see out of the other.
