Default Took a short ride this morning

For those that don't know, I did a top end on the '77 over the winter and went ahead and stripped it down to the frame for a full re-ferbish. It's taken a bit longer that I had hoped to get it back together but I started it up for the first time a week ago. Sounded great, found some leaks to tighten, made adjustments, etc. Finally, last night, I got the seat mount made and the raw fender cut and drilled and got the seat and fender mocked up so this morning I went for a short spin down the road and back. All I can say right now is...
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
HELL YEA!!!
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
Now I just have to finish the incidental wiring, make struts, mount the rear signals, break light, and plate, paint and final tinkering. If all goes smoothly, I shoud be done by the end of this weekend. Can't wait.

I'm using the same seat that was on it before. I'm in the process of cutting out the new struts for the fender out of 1/4 inch plate.
