    I just threw my car in the trash, If anybody want's it it's in the trash, Your car is the bees knees. But the real reason I love your car is because of the Transformer kick panels. Hi !!!

    Generator bracket done finally just gotta make a spacer and get a new belt... I like it up top better than I the breeze.. Ordering gaskets and fuel line hopefully can move on to getting the carbs working.

    So heres an update.. Live Wire has left the nest and is now back at home after 14 months she is back at my house.. The plan is to start putting it back tgether all the little things we had to take off or move, get underneath and paint and touch up stuff and of course polish and derust things.. its been 14 months with out it..gotta do some break work too.. But the main thing is getting the intake and all the carbs on and working right.

    Once that all takes place it will go somwhere special and i'll start a new post on that.. But the main goal is to get it to GNRS

    On the way Home...

    Hey Piero, great to see LIVEWIRE finally back home, AND you've cleaned up the garage!!! Is there still room for Yvette in there? And when you do get all those little jobs done and hit the road be gentle on that toploader. Maybe Kustomlinez can give you some tips on what not to do with it LOL

    Now quit polishing the chrome, get it all bolted up and do some cruising.
