Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"

I couldn't get factory top radiator mounts to work correctly so I decided to fabricate these out of flat stock and weld them to the tanks. I'll put rubber sheets between them and the core support and bolt them through the vertical uprights





need a little more polishing but you get the idea

Ok, shoot me a PM with what you need done. I will see what we can do about getting some work done.

Also, if I need to bring tools, let me know. I pretty much have most you can imagine.

Re: Tri-Pro's "Project GPW"

We got started on the body work yesterday. There's probably two weeks worth of "mudslinging" to do













We also got the fuel tank mounted and the rear cross replaced so we can now get the regulator mounted and start running fuel lines
