But wheres the fun/aggravation it that?
It all started with this lil gem I scored off craigslist....
Bought some 2x4 tubing and laid out the master plan that was rattling in the old brain bucket
Threw the tub up to get an idea. Sorry its for the fuzzy pics.
Framing up the new cowl
Sheetmetal for the new cowl, any ideas what its from?
Initial mockup pics
Old school reverse steelies
Fabbed up some wishbones
Front
Getting idea for my carb placement
More to come, hope to have it a roller by the end of the week.
