Noice.
Is the truck getting repainted medium blue? |
I'm in no hurry for a repaint. Want to get it buttoned up first. Then we'll see.

Looks great John!
Good talking to you up in Mass, sorry couldn't find ya when I was ready to roll out of Stan's. Seeing that pic of your dash reminded me of the story where you sucked in a paper towel into the fan housing. Looks like you have a cylinder head temp gauge? Did you install that, if so let me know if you have any other info on it. I'm considering the same on my rustbucket single. |
No more paper towels after this work is done!
The gauges all were installed back in its racing days, just an aftermarket temp gauge on the oil press. fitting. It would be nice to have a head temp gauge too, but alas, not there...

Glad to see this getting some love. A lot of old off road racers are coming out of the woodwork for the NORRA rallies. Something to consider:) ElBurro
