I had taken the car back to my shop to complete the remaining items and got lazy and didn't get much done.<span style="color: #FF0000"><span style="font-size: 8pt"> (insert 18mo holiday)</span></span> Since Fab man had to rebuild wheelie bars; I decided to take sometime &amp; revisit Montana.

Boy does this build bring back some memories!

<span style="font-size: 14pt"><span style="font-weight: bold">NOW FOR SOME SMALL WIRE....</span></span>

All terminals were crimped then heat shrink applied after removing all the cheezy plastic insulators on them. Then all the components were connected to the wiring with weather-tite connectors. And of course all the wire bundles were run in flexible conduit.

<span style="font-size: 14pt">WE'RE GETTING CLOSE....
</span>
Andre' built the new wheelie bars and dropped them at the powdercoater's in the afternoon; And I went back and picked them up at 12:30 AM so we could go to the track for some shakedown runs the next morning. We ran taps thru the threads while they were still almost to hot to hold onto...

<span style="font-size: 11pt">And a couple pics at the track...</span>

Now just some small appearance items, like all the decals/stickers, sponsors names(all period correct) and I will get them posted up soon...

Thanks for watching. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif[/img]
