It was relatively easy but, I spread it out over a long time, checked clearances, messed, with ideas, and had mulihdrdr guidance/wisdom .... and there where two rounds.
.
..
.
  • Round 2: Adding ODC Monza inverted front end. --Otto Di Cuori (ODC) parts combined with parts from Round 1. All in one weekend with follow up adjustments and cust machining of fender and caliper mounts. Was pretty straight forward after fumbling through Round 1
.
.
Looking back at that Mad Scientist crap I had going on at the time... I had lots of plans for upgrades....
