Very nice! What are the plans for it ? I love a 3OTT. So much personality. I bought a 68 SWB stepper with an M21 in it a while back. Sooo much fun to drive.

A little CLR on the driver's bedside and cowl and just drive it. ? The Delmo idea would be sweet too though.

Chad!!!! you have a great idea, longbed huh?

If Kevin could make a tilt for a 3 speed column it would have one.

Thanks everybody else for the positive comments!

BTW the rallies will most likely be coming off, replaced with stock steelies with a altitude adjustment to start.
