That is so cool!! I love those things!!! (y)
Thanks Eddie, it’s been a long time coming and a great project with my father. Makes your last video hit home a little closer. I’m not sure how you guys have been doing it and completely understand that you guys have been taking a break for a while to enjoy time with them.

Makes it even better is that half of this car is now my dads old one that I drove back in high school

The wife and kids left me alone last weekend. I got annoyed while trying to finish the green house so I used my recovery skills to get rid of my old grill and upgrade to a Treager. Don't worry I had my bulldog as a spotter.

If you need to get rid of any of those ribs. You can send some up my way. Maybe trade for some lobster

Fortunately I have a solution to that when I get it going. There is a company that uses dual hsr42 or 45 mikuni flat slides that fit a newer Harley that will increase response and power. Now supposedly putting them on a stock mg gave them 20hp. Not sure how badly the originals were tuned but that is significant. Oh and my father is trying them… so o get to see if they are worth doing first hand. 👍

made a mistake and didn’t bend the hinges enough for the door frame so I had to do the top in three pieces but nothing I can do now.

Looks great!

Are you going to counter balance the door too?

Looks good, growing up my dad had one built out of an old tank. That thing was awesome!
