    Went to the exhaust shop and had new single exhaust with a Thrush Turbo installed....then rode about 60 miles. Carb needs adjusting and something loose in the stg. Other than that it was great!

    I found some brand new futuras I had on a 57 progect just to make it sit right durin the frame build. took them to a Mexican tire shack, had them pull them off. I sanded and painted my mav steelies body color. Gonna put those futuras on the mav wheels and burn the crap out of them. WHEN I GET ALL THIS #@!%^&@ BODY WORK DONE! I needed a goal to keep me goin.

    Now Im gonna take a bottle of Anejo, a 30 pack (With Cooler), 2 packs of Marlboros into the back yard, sit under a tree and drink myself into a stupor. (I hope I dont wake up in my own Vomit.) Then I m going to sand my butt off again tommoro. I gotta get a life!

    Make your own. My Dad did it for the Chicago mob in the 30s. Not that hard to do.

    Cleaned up the rusted out area of the trunk pan, installed new bracing for the fuel cell and N2O and the battery box in the trunk. Also figured out where to put the external kill switch for the batter at next to the brake lights.

    Removed the factory floor shifter and bracket. Will clean the bracket up in the morning and possible install the B&M shifter in its place.
