Gibbo,
The routing of your new exahaust is interesting.....stock muffler placement without the exhaust spewing in front of the rear wheel! Nice.
The gas tank housing shot is like a black mirror. Too nice for the underside!!! :lol:
I also want to compliment your upper rear door mod. Although one must open the spare to use it I think it very nice and a superior weather seal.
Your brother in law should get a big thanks too!!!

Agree. The color combination looks great in that engine, and the spark plug cables color also add a nice touch.

My son Joe (the reason behind our "Family Patrol") spent about two hours last night drooling over the pictures of your work. Thanks!
