thanks guys. I tell ya, the paint job was kind of intimidating, have never done it before, but it was pretty easy if you fight the urge to go fast and read the tech sheets a few dozen times prior to spraying.

Next winter the drive line gets an upgrade. plan on doing an open primary, upgrade to the gear drive cam system, new heads, big bore kit and a 6 speed gear set
