Here's the before pic.

Hi from NY!    Looks good, the automatics are getting harder to find. This site has been really helpful to me, and there are a ton of guys here that not only have great knowledge but awesome skills in building. Make sure you check out the tech articles, faq's and builds. And ask questions. Update with pics as you work on it.

Thanks!  I have been looking and gathering ideas all over this site.  I'll have to give credit to all the members that I've gathered ideas from during my build.  It will be a slow build during the winter here So Dak but I won't be rushed and should turn out pretty good.  Check back on the web link Because i will be adding photos regularly.

I've got the frame and engine separated and getting ready to clean clean clean some more.  33 years of sludge!

Welcome from Texas!

Looks nice. How's it run? Hope you plan on leaving that "Vetter" off!

[ryani]

It ran.....barely.  It will run great hopefully by spring.  And yes the windjammer and sissy bar are staying off.  They are for sale if you like them. haha

They are for sale if you like them.

Good Luck!
