    Many thanks to all for the advise that I have asked for and for the stuff I have found on this site.

    Steering and hydraulic clutch bracket drawing were worth their weight in gold.

    Anyway its getting close.

    Wiring done, steering convert done, rear fuel tank done, hanging pedals done, hydraulic clutch done, heater done & HEI done. Tried to start her last night, got fire in hole but no start yet, this week I hope!

    Left to do, roll cage or variation of one, waiting for exhaust parts to finish up the the duals, get the tires flipped, re-sealed and balanced on the rims, mount the windshield, fenders and hood, clean up the wiring & a few odds and ends. Go for a spin down the side road R) R) R) R).

    I know I got battery problem to start with. That will be 1st on the list along with some new cables. We think it maybe timing, back fired through the carb a couple time.

    Yes I did the engine is rebuild myself. First time I have ever had an engine apart. Did the works including a valve job. Good sign it tried to fire up.

    I'll be waiting for your photos:toetap:
