Bet that motor hauls though.
Do you have any footage of it?

Thanks guys, yeah the adjustable cross bar really helps stiffen up the frame.

Here's a vid I took a few years ago:

Did you make that strut bar or buy it?

I made the bar, threaded in heim joints at each end to adjust. Had to weld mounting ears to the frame, from right below the fuel petcock to under the key ignition.

Painted the frame

The heim joint support looks so cool. Chrome = Fast

Thanks Pat, aluminum can almost be as shiny as chrome.

Got got engine and front wheel back on, it rolls. Going to start on the body work next...

Trimming the lower edge of the side covers.

I had to almost eat up half my side cover for the af16 carb. It made me upset/kinda ignored

Even with trimming the carb needs more clearance for suspension travel. So I bubbled it out with a heat gun and round handle screw driver to form the shape.

Planning on smoothing it out with some body filler.

Did some wet sanding done on the body parts.

Got the supplies I'm using for this paint project.

Same paint I used on the purple and I did it properly and it didnt stick. So heads up bake em on with a little heat.
