Reply to "Replicating a Mangusta Air Cleaner"

Lee, Garth, Thanks for the compliments. It took a lot of patience. So many passed deadlines.  The spinner took 18 months (IIRC) and the 1st run had the wrong carb opening. The original funnel guy took 2 months and then I had to toss his funnels. The Tool&Die guy was 6 months past the promised date. The paint guy assumed it would be a single day job and it turned into 4 weeks and 3 quarts of hard to get paint plus some secret ingredients he did not divulge. . I mainly did the rough parts, but loved getting my hands dirty working side by side with the guys, mostly fine details were done by specialists. I mainly coordinated and pointed in the right directions. Waited when deadlines were passed.  In the end yes, a very rewarding project.
