Thanks guys! Zero progress on this thing. I bought a car with a blown engine to fix and resell. I've spent all of my time on it this past week or so :( I'll be back on the Speed King this weekend.....I hope :roll:

Well.......be back to fabricating on this thing tomorrow. Sat some stuff on it again just for ideas. This old Messinger seat is the winner of my seat options. Probably gonna get the Shelby sprocket also.

I agree on that.....if I use them they do need to be shorter. I was looking for something that flowed with the curved lines. I have a habit of mocking stuff up and taking pictures of it. I get a better idea that way if it looks right or not. Some stuff looks ok in real life and photographs poorly. If it looks good in photo, it usually is good :idea:

:mrgreen: You guys are as persistent as my wife when she wants the yard mowed...not much to report. I finally decided on tires (hope I like them). I need those to set the the fenders up for clearance. Picked up a few accessories to finish up the build. I'll have something for you soon :wink:


Impatient, pains in the rear.....opps did I forget to hang up :shock: :mrgreen:
