Beautiful build!

I love your title too...just by chance do you know why Axl wrote the song Mr. Brownstone and what it's actually about?

Clayton Machine Works. Don't think they are a sponsor here but they are over on PT.Com.

They are absolutely beautiful, even more so in person. Pricey but beautiful.

Yeah looking forward to Peggy Sue's and the Napa Main Street Reunion.

Oh yeah. Never went that route myself and never will... although going to college in Chico we had plenty of fun but never that much. Too scary. I dont know how he/they did it and still functioned and performed.

They were playing at the Hardrock Hotel last month. We were there during Sema and a few guys I talked to said he's up around 200 pounds now. Guess he's off the smack and eating well. Probably making up for the those missed meals while whacked out back in the day.

Yeah which is great. Yours is looking good too!

We hit a couple bumps this week with the Vintage Air front runner and how the compressor is currently mounted so I have Jim talking with them to figure it out. Also working with RideTech to get adjustable rod ends for the lower Air Bar rods so we can fix the pinion angle on the Prodigy/Moser 4 link rear end. Fun stuff...

Default Ridetech Tru-turn kit

Pulled the trigger on the complete Ridetech Tru-turn kit with spindles replacing the Heidts tall spindles I had bought. With all the positive feedback on the kit I wanted it to round out the suspension with it.

Well we hit a little hurdle... I went to the shop today and found out the Doug's 368 headers I have won't work with the kit. The pitman arm hits one of the tubes on the driver side header when turned to the left.

No big deal, just need to cut the tube and have the header re coated. I searched the forums and called Ridetech to check the fitment with my Doug's headers and know one had an answer. Well now we know .

I have seen confirmation that the Dynatech headers clear with no modifications.

I will say the kit is top notch.
