Proctor's assisted with so many rotary birth's in the area, he's now regarded as the area's official midwife! I was there for the initial fire up. This car's gonna turn a lot of heads and kill a lot of competition!

With any luck, the newborn will be revealed at the Sherway meet. Kevin has plenty of pictures and there is video of it as well. My dial up connection won't take that kind of uploading punnishment.

On another note, I'd like to thank everyone on here that helped me get this project completed. You know who you are, and all of the help and advice was greatly appreciated!

This is going to be one nice car, it's nice to see it being build and used the way I think most of us would like to see it used.

Congrats Bryon, not just on a sweet car, but your first Rotary rebuild of many spaced far apart!

I like the photos. What camera/ lens, if one? Any setup, or just those light panels on the sides?

Thanks!

I shoot a Canon 30D, I was using the standard 18-55 Lens, the 70-200 would't work too well close like that, those are just florescent tubes.

What was your ISO? 400? Could have been a little faster. Maybe open up your aperture some more too.

No problem. Looking at your surroundings, I would have automatically gone to ISO 800+ (1600 or 3200) and an aperture of like 3 - 8, Shutter speed like...100/s and started from there.

But I can see a story your trying to tell, did a good job. Congrats on the motor too, nice car, hell yea.

Thanks for posting the pictures Kevin. My computer would have died trying to do that. Hopefully I get time today to go out and finish hooking up the gauges and get the alternator wiring right.

Happy Mothers day.
Great job, car looks great. Every time I see the car, I wish you did not buy it from Joe, lol. (Just kidding, I was next in line if you did not buy it) I am happy the car went to a great home. Good luck and see you at the meet.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments guys. I got the alternator wiring figured out. Turned out my wiring was right, but my alternator was pooched. The gauges still have a ways to go yet. Still have to adjust the carb, get the exhaust built, finishing touches on the body, do an alignment, and then it's ready for the road!

Thanks Mike. I'll have to take you for a ride in it. After all, I did use that porting template I bought from you on this engine.
