Haha, yeah it's Hydes... he is getting the rear narrowed and a few other goodies.

Jon started on the motor!



Getting crank cleaned for polishing:

Got the rear in and it's finally a roller!

Nope, I am going to run power steering. Only because I have a brand new rack and pump from when I took it off, lol.

Thanks! I told Ro I would take a trip up there when it's done so he can check it out.
