I want a tilt column but I will use the old one for now. I sanded it down and painted it and repacked the bearings. I bought new upper and lower ball joints from Rock Auto. They were cheaper with shipping than my local parts places. I got all Moog stuff. It costs me $20 to press in the new lowers at my local machine shop. At this point I am going to put my original spindles back in so I can put the nose on and get the burb painted. I have been looking all over the web for pics of burbs and I havent found a paint scheme I like yet. I might end up doing ghost flames if I dont find something better. I like the idea of skulls but I am not sure.

The bag cups didnt fit in the LCA's too good so I ground out the lca's so they fit better.
