I have almost everything to complete it... it just needs a ton of labor now.

sounds like your lucky to be alive.....WTH happened?????????
glad your making a recovery....

let is know what is going on..

Some dude that isn't right in the head flipped out and attacked me and few other people with brass knuckles. Got hit a few times and broke my cheek bones and other "delicate" bones in my face. I've gotten most of it fixed with titanium plates to hold it together. I've got one more surgery to move my eye so I don't have double vision.

Radrambler: Sorry to hi-jack your thread... What wheels are you planning on running? Have you decided yet?

Great... I'm the competitive type and it will get me working on mine :). I've got all the parts to finish mine so I can't blame lack of progress on anyone but myself...


BTW, on a side note... I was in Florida a couple of months ago and I don't understand all the pro-touring cars and street bikes... all your roads a perfectly straight, flat, and smooth.

yep
 
philofab

roads are pretty straight and flat for the most part ,unless you know where to go.:D

guys

it feels like christmas..ups man showing up with parts several days in a row..
my autowire hwy 15 kit came in..holy bags of wire batman ! looks like fun..

TODAY-thanks to rodger @ironworks ..i got my new 6 piston dynapro front brake kit and dynalite 4 piston rear .had the calipers done in red and went with directional vane 12.19 rotors.not huge but the car is light and that what wilwood tech suggested..:woot:
my stock 10.75 rotor and caliper together weighed in at 27 lbs..my whole front kit was 41 so im saving about 20 lbs, but i spent money ..lol
made my radiator and dual fan mounts yesterday .gotta take a pic later.
measured up and picked my part #s for the vintage air system needs.waiting for pricing.
mounted a hub and a hat to measure for wheels ,good thing i didnt order those yet.i would have been in trouble.the new front hub pushed the mounting surface out .now i have to pick out wheels....:faint:
thats the latest
