    I know $25 is a little steep. And actually it was not in cash it was for some work on his truck that took me 30 minutes.

    Trust me.... No, it didnt loo like that when he got it---- I saw early pics of it. It's come a LONG way.

    And, I've seen Steve go from the typical "I'm so frustrated, I'm gonna give up onthis... I can't believe I wasted my money---" to the current "hey, look at this! A little more detailing and I might try for a trophy...but even if I don't get one, it gets the attention every time I'm out....:) ".

    Keep up the good work, Steve

    I do have a slight oil leak at the head gasket. I need to change that. And I just finished replacing the fuse box. Now I am making a better plexiglass windshield for the fairing.

    [​IMG] Just finished upgrading the fuse box. Went with the glass style for the retro look. Plus it fits perfectly under the seat with no modifications. Plus 2 extra circuits or spare fuse holders.
