Please tell me you are going to put in a slide mounted cassette player? Vintage tunes....

Lol It won't have anything like that because of the setup for racing.

I thought that was weld on mudflaps.

It's funny how this build is so "cool" now. When we done this back in the 70's and 80's it was " redneck" . Brings back good memories. Keep it up!

I think back in the 70's and 80's this would have been on leaf springs and 6 or 8 inch lift blocks and probably some re-bar as reinforcement somewhere on the chassis.

Truth :afro:

I built a chopper back in '67 and actually did use rebar for a sissy bar! Now back to this build.

My Spidey senses thinks there is a nitrous bottle mount between the seats........ from the guy that coined the term "The pinto is tits" lol flashemifyougotem

Not a major update but got drivers seat mounts built, couple bars added to B-pillars and a lot of welding out of the way.

I am changing my trans idea because I don't have the cash at all to spend on this build and I'm itching to get it finished. I'm going with a granny stick and 205 instead of the C6. The good part is now it will be more crawler friendly so I can take it anywhere to ride.
