Thanks guys.No thank you Tools,im kinda fat,better leave all the support on there i can.Cant wait to get it all back together as a roller,but got a lot of little things to do holding me off:
-Swing arm bushings-cause im clumsy
-possible Allballz kit-makes no sense...has no balls
-rear wheel bearing froze-but is perfectly free of rust-dont get it
and need the rest of the fasteners for the valve cover-cant find right lengths
oh well   guess i'll start figuring out the electrical

Havent laid any fiberglass yet.Was gonna try for this Saturday

You got me wanting black carbs,but im not gonna steal your thundermaybe
