    Hey thanks Mark for posting that up,and thanks again for both your help.
    I'm still working on the way I want to mount the tank frame to the rear cross member Ralph
    But its getting there. Having it running sure pumps up the "build it blood"
    Also a thank you goes out to Scratch ,and all those other HAMBers for the
    Motivation and parts

    Awesome Randy, I'm stoked for you as well, she sounds fantastic. I know it seems like it's been for ever on the build, but once you fire that motor you now have a good reason to bust *** and finish the rest.

    I did get my e-mail overload problem fixed so you wont have any more problems there. I'm happy for ya man, just keep at it and we'll be on the road in no time, we're both soooo close to being on the streets.
    Congrats again Randy
