Eddie 66 Report post Posted May 31, 2010 Yes sir approval granted, it has a M44 carb'd correct?, now new paint and all underneath new, worth good money now whats the plan with it keep long term? Yes M44 on twin 45's. I 'm hoping it goes on the dyno this weekend. I will keep it as long as a have a place to store it. With any luck it will be at its first hillclimb on the 27th of this month.
