Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Sorry so slow to reply.....basically, where the brackets come up, drill holes on either side so that a bolt will be just above the springs...using a sleeve to keep the bracket from squeezing together.

The exhaust, frame, suspension is looking really good! Hooker has a nice set up with their exhaust.

What is the truck in the back ground of the first picture in post 62? Good looking stepper!

Super clean build here. Really like the re creation of an uncommon model, and the family history. How cool. I look forward to watching the process and am subscribed!
