You are correct, Super Stock ignition... I wrote IST back in #24, but Super Stock it is.

Yeah, I use cat litter for oil dry... also seems to keep moisture/dampness out of storage areas. One litter box in back room, in case I close a cat in for the night/weekend. Open doors when working equals occasional visits... pets, wildlife, barn-yard, etc.

Enjoyed your muddin' video... nothing like life on a lime-rock grade. My road started out as a 2-track jeep trail, and improved(?) into a lime-rock grade. Of course, with the improved road, came neighbors... and it's only been 40 years.

Hi roddenby51.


Nice to see your here too.


Looks like I'm gonna have to follow both of your posts.


I thought I started a post about my Bobber build on hdforums also but guess I didn't.
