Skewed Sidepipe

Haven’t done much except gather parts over the last couple of weeks.  Oh, and I hung the sidepipes.  The  passenger side is still giving me trouble and wants to stick out from the frame about 6 inches all the way at the  end.  I’ll just have to work…

First start!

I heard a beautiful sound yesterday.  After three long years of owning this kit I finally started the engine.   What a great sound!  Thanks to a lot of help from Wade and Joe we fired it up around 6pm.  I still need to get a  belt on it and hook…
