I keep forgetting about swap meets.
this one right? Portland Swap Meet Homepage

I may be there for two days of it, might find something good, I dont know. I asked about the y-block becuase it would open up the no engine no tranny possibility. If that were the case, I may have one in mind not far from me at all.

Here's a few on my photobucket account, and there are over 400 other pictures of projects there also. This Indian is the one I built to go to Bonneville...

Doors are fine. I need handle parts for both sides. The drivers side the outside latch doesn't work or the inside one. Passenger side only the outside works...
