im about to start the coil relocation on the bike but first the delphi coil connector has to come apart to swap front and rear coil wires or the plug wires will be crossed then ill extend them about 12" maybe less..horn is next it will be attached to the front of the rear fender splash guard like the exile choppers kit does
If I could get my Vette running I could run it under a classic insurance I hope. I have an 80 with Sidepipes, my roommate has a 84 and 2000. And my dad has a procharged 2008. Its a Vette family

My digital camera battery died and I used a disposable 35mm. The pictures were processed by a dyslexic at RiteAid!
