Here are a few more pictures from yesterdays 'photo outing'








I will be running steel braided line between the bulkhead connectors on the frame and mounted on the cylinder head.

Looks good Craig.
I was gonna do a photo outing, but the 3 inches of snow and
temps near zero put a damper on that idea.
Instead, I fixed the snowblower that I neglected all summer.

ps - I have your stuff packed and ready to ship ... maybe today.
Got your mail ... thanks for the card ... you guys are on our photo-fridge.

Don't know if you're aware, or even care, but Lakewood offers a fork boot that fits their scattershield. Summit sells it, but it's not listed...

The headers are from Hedman (not sure of the partnumber)

Here are some quick pics that show the trailing arm bolt





I allready have the boot - Still need to remove and paint the scattershield before I install it though.

That was pretty cool, I would like to do a frame off,
but im a all season driver, and doing that would make it a garage queen
for me. So most likely I'll never do it.

I like the way you are setting up for you fuel lines. That is going to look good also. I will say it again, that is going to be one nice ride when you get it done.

You have way more patience than me, I'd go nuts waiting for parts to dry before I could reassemble them. Looks really good and I know that a lot of man hours went into that.

Yes Everything was painted with POR-15 and IMHO it is great stuff Just don't get it on anything you don't want it to be on, like your dining room floor, or garage floor, or your skin, or your clothes . . . (don't ask )

In my old life, I had lots of money and very little time. Now that it's the other way around, and elbow grease and paint are cheap, I can spend more time on the details.
