Nice work Bro! A couple questions. Are you leaving the bow tank in or going side tanks? What's up with the wood grained engine cover in about the third pic? That's kind of cool looking, is it a decal?

 

[73konajet]

bow tank is still in there i took it out put a new sending unit and new vent/fill hose the wood grain pulley cover is just the old one i laid in there for making sure everything was still fitting
