Crazy cool!

Good lookin' iron there!

Very Nice Collection..   your RT1 is picture perfect.. 

Ive one Ive thats followed me since high school..  

Im in the restoration process and hope mine looks like this when Im done.  

I plan to give this to my oldest, looking for another for my
2nd son.  

Sorta funny, restoring a 1970 in my 70th year.  

With main crank bearings that rusty, I'd be rebuilding the crankshaft.  

Rod bearing might feel smooth now but all it takes is a tiny bit of corrosion on the pin, the bearing surface of the rod, or one of the needle rollers (any of which is impossible to see without pressing the crank apart) for the rod bearing to fail in a couple hundred miles.  Been there, done that.  

How was the fit of the mag side crank in the bearing?

Bummer it was bad.  But a lot better to catch it now rather than in a few months!

I have a feeling it's going to be smooth sailing the rest of the way.  

Nice pic lay out.   Lmao at shim comment on tach.  I said
same about mine.  

engine looks real good.  Looking forward to hearing it run.  

 

I like your workbench setup. What kind of metal trays are those?

My wife got new cookie sheets for Christmas, so I have been using the old ones she was tossing out, but they are much smaller than the ones I see on your bench.
