My 12yo daughter helps me. I'm teaching her cutting/welding/wrenching/electrical/saftey.

forgot my camera was gonna take an Mpeg... Made the windshield hold down clips and rear window straps on our little CNC mill tonight

I'll get plenty of Pics.

Fuel Cell/foam and sender is from Speedway...

Pump mount is from 87 vette customized a bit to take AN fitings and a remote cap... If I made it today it would have nice CNC radii to match the top...

Never really liked that body style but your looks

Gonna have to get a red line painted or something on the back tires to match the front
