Leverage

New levers from Hank Young arrived - pretty nice job. Yep - its still the buying phase of the project :)

Additional support

Rex added the extra support needed on the frame (purely cosmetic) and welded the tank tabs to the frame, the things rock solid - next up - replace nasty tab for fork stop, fit oil tank, fit seat spring tabs and new seat. (must learn to weld - make mental note - phone local college)

Got Wood?

Barrel painted, head bead blasted, some chrome on - its going to be one fine looking motor!

There is a god, and he's called Gary

Parts came back from Garys Pro Plating and Polishing in GA, the work is great, the polished parts look as good as the chrome - the cobb manifold came out great too, i was going to sell it on, but now i'm going to keep it and see if it'll fit without getting in the way of me leg. All this for $475 - a bargain i say for the amount of smiles i'll get out of it!

Treatsville

The missus bought me a tool chest for my birthday (8th April) - was very happy with it, it made me realise how many tools i didnt actually have, so, sigh, now i have to go and buy some more :P

Made to order aluminium oil tank arrived too, this one actually fits vertical and once its polished should be pretty sweet looking, i'll get some more pics later once its fitted. Tank is from 7metalwest.com and is a quality product on first inspection, extremely light too - no surprise really but compared to my old steel one its a ton of difference.

Low Tech...

Its where i got my frame sandblasted, nothing of any interest really, just keeping a log :)
