Well good luck, and as you know.. let me know if I can be of service... I have seen the plans you bought and I am pretty familar with the jig plans as well...

One thing.. a good tail light is to use a old Model A ford tail light as a chopper tail light...

If you put chevy parts on the bike it will brake down all the time.

Stick to FORD.
