    Today, I started pulling parts off an '88 at a local junkyard. It has a manufacture date of 05/87. I did a triple take on the tag and even gave it a spit shine. I could get a pic if anyone is really interested.

    I'll be working on it most of the week. I'm getting the carby B3 as a core, and maybe the tranny if it's 5 speed. The shifter bushings are worn out so bad, I can't tell if it's a 4 or 5.

    I already pulled the power dual mirrors and the tach gauge cluster.

            Looks like kartracer46 has the oldest, on the forum at least. He was working on Twiztid this morning and mentioned that it was a 3/87. I've never heard of one that old before.

                  I don't want to cast dispersions about anyone's character....or anything....but this second hand, somebody said something.....:p

                  I'm gonna need a little more spur-sausion before I relinquish my claim to fame.

                      I'm just having fun. The way I see it, we need a pic of the DOM.

                      It's 5/87 to tie for 1st....4/87 to become the temporary "king of the thread"...a 3/87 would probably be untoppable
