Hello Manny

Don't you owned about 10 rotaries??

I wish my son was into cars but all he like to do is listen to music and video games, he is 15 and no interest on cars!!

At least not yet!

Good luck on a father and son project!

Andres

Cool New Project!

Yea, Wacky your wifey is right "another money pit", but my son is the one that has to work to fund his project, because he knows I have my own projects to tend to. Besides it's the time that we spend putting it together, that is whats important Wacky! Time lost can never be regained!!

I would love to buy a twin-dizzy motor as a rebuildable spare for my '72 RX-2. I'm in SoCal (Ventura) and could pick it up quickly . . .

hehe no mate that's not my ride, its from down under... my rx2 is sitting under a cover in the garage awaiting media, she has zero rust and all original with 50k on the clock.. the reason for media is to get rid of the yucky yellow paint.. still working on a CF hood from a new source in australia, will have a sure answer in a few weeks
