Got my tins back. New exhaust, tank, and front fender on. Got the coil relocated and removed the center post. Waiting on plug wires (ordered the wrong ones the first time).
Trying the figure out the wiring before I put the rear fender on, as I am relocating the license plate and brake light to the axle.

Paint was done by Destry at Poor Boy Customs in Liberty Hill. Did a great job on it, too.
