Rotary head huh?

I've just barely scraped the surface with my current 12A project.

So what's the eta on this build sir?

Yep, I've been around when it comes to rotary engines and cars haha.


NO eta on this build. Seems like everytime I plan a certain time/date to be finished, it doesn't happen and I sell it. SO with that being said, it will never get done :) *fingers crossed*

Got everything off the front end and the windows out. Found that the inner fenders are in decent shape.

I'm really surprised at how far away the brake and gas pedals are. Did they not heel-toe shift in the '70s?! haha

I don't have three legs haha

Left foot braking is for slowing down while IN gear, heel-toe is for down shifting while braking...

Unless you have a straight cut, dog box trans :)

I understand the difference actually. It was a joke which seems you didn't find humorous. Sorry.

I know, I know haha All these pictures look the same. BUT, besides some very minor things the car is about ready to go to the blaster.

I will probably remove the doors and bring them to him later with the trunk, fenders, and hood. Finally got everything under/on the dash removed. Also got all the fluid lines, gas tank, and left overs under the hood out.

Just about ready!!! :)

Thanks,

Andrew
