Looking fantastic

That looks awesome. What is left to finish?

Waiting for windshield #2. They broke the first one. Check all the fluids and get the nose on.

I didn't even notice the nose was missing

I don't think that dust will lower you top speed much! LOL

Still looking great, very nice work and some great ideas are going into this build.

And most important, you are still having fun!

Windshield is in. I need to order some windshield wiper arms. Not sure if O.E. ones will fit my aftermarket wiper set up. The splined shafts I have are 5/8th's in diameter. I need someone to give me the size of the original one's so I can see if stock arms will work for me.

Got it out for the first drive.

Drives pretty good. Still need to put it on the alignment rack and work out a few bugs. All in all it went well for the first drive.

Should be 5/8" shafts like these.

windshield wiper arm is manufactured in stamped and formed stainless steel featuring a satin finish with a die-cast base to fit a 5/8" diameter wiper shaft ...

Most will upload their videos on YouTube then copy and paste the link on here in your post. It will automatically show as your video.
