Looks really awesome Joe. I love the motor particularly. Did you ever get the matching black crinkle finish valve cover air breathers from Spott's Performance?

$20 plus shipping and handling.



So do you think you are going to make Power Tour at this rate?



BTW # 1- The Widetrackers are planning on cruisin' to Bakers on Sunday May 18th - featured club near the restaurant.



Also, did you get the Dustoff invite?



BTW #2 - I may have a mini-starter in my parts stash. Do you need it? If so email me. I gotta meet up with JUSTA on the water pump in the first place.

Looks good. I understand finding more things to do before you can finally get it put together, so you won't have to take it apart later. Always something else. Gettin soooo close.
