  • XAERO_81's from ROCK to MORE SUBTLE.

    Me and Hazzbee picked it up last night from Kevin in Marietta, Ohio. Had a problem on the way with the rear passenger spindle nut being stripped to nearly nothing. Wheel was holding on with the mighty cotter pin for roughly 100 miles until we made it to Karl's (Safety Guy) house where he so generously aided us with parts, tools, and repair help. THANKS KARL! Also thanks to whoever setup the F.I.T. Database. Well here is how it looks as of now. Few things need attention but I'll make a list once I can fully inspect.

                            I think shadetree has me and daniel beat on BP swap time. It took us a full day to fab up mounts and get the engine in and running.
