Re: 61K10 build

Mitch--glad you are starting the body work (not as much fun as the frame for sure) excited, well a little. more tired of working and spending $$$ on it. still need the seat done and windshield, bed wood. all are $$$. rear end probably needed to be rebuilt (looking for another to rebuild for the future) don't even know if i can find a 3.90 r&p, but it's getting closer--- take care--

Re: 61K10 build

well no paint--raining/cold, so installed rad support and fit the shroud. tk came with a 63-66 rad thats good and they added supports off the rad support to hold the rad. It did not have a shroud so i bought an after market one. bottom line, i have to drill new mounting holes for it.

Re: 61K10 build

I did take a video--could not get it to upload. no big deal as the fan made more noise than the exhaust at 2k rpm.

Nice and quiet. That's the way to go. Did you go with the stock barrel type Walker exhaust?
