Welcome Smitty.  I lived in Greenville for a short time back in 57-58.  Dad was moved there for work.   I don’t remember much about it just how friendly everyone was.  I was only about 7-8 years old then.  I did pick up a southern accent, took alot longer to loose it when we moved again.

Just to close this thread out:  Both heads cc’d at 50cc.  I installed them.  Compression ratio calculated at 7.8/1.   Compression pressures is 133-135 all around.  All’s well.   See the other thread on cylinder heads. 

Welcome aboard Smitty.  You’ll find a lot of knowledgeable and helpful people here on the forum.  Lots of dope.  That’s dope, not dopes.

ed what part did you order and where from the lights on Little Red are ok but would like them better. 

I didn’t notice the second part of this poll until today. I found Percy in a barn outside Montgomery, Texas, five years ago, which means I was 57 at the time and the third owner (as near as I’ve been able to determine).

Someone must’ve bought it. The original post was last October.

Glad to see your build is moving along!

You have to pitch it upside down. It’s Navy Seal stuff, I think….

Isn’t it hard to pitch a tent when you are at sea? MGLondonRoadste2012-02-28 12:43:03

Thanks, Paul, that’s quite a range in ages.  It’s good to me to see such a wide range.

I’ll take four if we are going to get a group purchase going. 

No limit that I know of.  I think she wants a number of orders to offer a group discount.  At $15 and $20 per shirt, I think that is pretty reasonable as it is.  I’m very pleased with her work.

Thanks for posting that link, Paul.  She offers many products, but the shirts seem to fall into 3 categories: Denim or knit long sleeve or short sle…[Read more]

Is she limiting orders to the polo’s and long sleeve denims?

Is any one interested in an embroidered logo shirt?  Sheri has two different materials for polo shirts and new or faded demin long sleeve, as well as warm weather tee shirts that she can ebroider.
