well working on the fuel lines and wiring the lights up. got all the trim work on the body and got that in primer right now. lot of little things now that have to be fixed. had to make a set screw setup for the steering linkage so if i need to remove the body i can pull out the bolt and take off the drag link. it will be ready for May show season. had it running again yesterday,... L O U D to say the least. i was wondering if i can put baffles in the pipes like bikes have

shot 4 coats of primer on the body and wet sanded gonna spray the kolor on today. went out and bought me a shelter logic 10x20 temp building what a B&^*& putting that up polls should be color coded not numbered put 4 pieves of 1/2" plywood down for floor also started the engine to adjust the valves a final time just to double check them, and adjust the carbs for idle and see the rear carb isnt working mmmm getting gas but not pumping out the jets seems like the pump maybe? still runs ok not going very far on and off a trailer and to parking space... multiple carbs multiple problems   

i put up the temp shelter so i could paint the casket w/o getting pollen dust in the paint. its a pretty kool set up i have to touch up the frame in spots as stated before next place i get will have a 3 bay garage or horse barn ill post pics this weekend. we have to get the trailer finished now.cut off 4ft off the back end wiring up the tail lights putting down floor.by buddy say 3/4" plywood will be fine as his uncle's trailer has it in his inclosed car carrier and he hauls a falcon my car weights less then 1100lbs 2 4x8 sheets cut in half will be good enuff
