You have the rear wheel wells opened enough to clear 42" tires with the tons down the road?

With the full widths and dove tail ..... it shouldn't be a problem

had to resort to the drill press and a hole saw .... The knock out just wouldn't cut it .

Well it's been awhile since I posted any up dates and due to this wonderful weather we have been having it has been kinda rough on the garage/shade tree guy, and I tore a legament in my elbow moving a big screen out of my basement ....... makes it very painful to try and do fab work and body work.

I got everything prepped and ran into a slight problem with the windshield motor ...... it hits the cage . I have two choices , one is to notch the cross bar about .25" to allow the motor to pass or , two , just remove it and keep the windshield rainXed .

Got it in the final primer coat last night , with the looks of the weather I'm hoping to have it in paint this week end .

Seats are on there way and then the frame gets blasted and painted , still looking for harnesses , just can't decide what ones I want. Then I get to clean the dust off all the parts and put it back together.

i see the hood line has changed from the first cut and tube fenders ? new fender design or no fender now ?

as far as your arm i say stick to the 12oz curls and you wont have any trouble

no fenders , once I put the 60's under it it will not matter anyway :) ,

I may add a tube that follow the High line , I already added steel plate to the tub so that if I decide to add the tube I have a good attachment point.

Takeing a vacation day tomorrow so I might be spraying color

Fed Ex says seats will be at the house Sat. morning ....... once there in I can finish the cage and seat mounts and ......... maybe drive it !

And as for the 12 oz curls ...... yes doctor I will take your advise and increase my reps.
