Wow dude. Impressive work you have done to this beast!

Its all been just screwin around on weekends with bolt on parts just to get by until I can make shit how I want it. This thing has been a daily driver since I got it. Just a few weeks ago I got in this thing and drove it from Reno Nv all the way down to Roswell New Mexico for work. Now I am driving it an hour round trip for work and lovin it.

I was looking at this last night,I saw the same things.I wonder if that one really long hose is going to the carb from the vac. advance :dunno:

Shouldn't the oil filler cap be on the other side?
