    Congrats Jerry, Dan, and Tom! Following this build ranks right up there with following my favorite TV show (which I'm not even sure of. Maybe the SEC football game of the week?). Hell, it's better than a TV show!

    Congrats, great work!

    More process (for the young n's). The 3" block needed the locator pin whittled down to fit in the rear housing.

    Ok, Ok you mean sumthin like this? There's a brake line and exhaust pipe in the way of the l side shock. If I'm not going to drive it (?) do I need both shocks?

    Still lots to do. Most frustrating - it will start and idle at about 1200 rpm (a little ragged, not smooth).

    Did I really say that I wasn't going to drive it???
