So, stopped all progress and bought some old school magazines from the 70's - cost me about $100 but it was worth it - it was good to see where styles had come from and how little it actually changed, people are either trying to get hold of original parts or replicas, theres little advancement - but thats why its a old school chop right?
Anyway, spent the last of the chopper fund on a MIG welder from Norther Tool company, LCD mask, cart, hammer, DVD, books etc - figured that I'd be able to progress faster with my own welder and low and behold did. Bought some stainless 304 1 3/4" pipes and some donor headers and tack welded myself a new exhaust system (did plenty of test welds first :P) course one pipe went well, the other no so, took me 3 attempts and I think my tack welding was too heavy duty - took some effort to get that shit off!
Also noticed the bars looked too wide, so took 3" off either end and they look much better.
