    Had this thread started last night but storms raised cain with computer so I will try it again.
    Lot of members reproduction parts on this build.
    Mike from HRE is putting the finishing touches on a handcrafted alu gas tank for me to complete the build.
    There are a bunch of little things I want to change already (more nickle chrome mainly) but that will wait for time being. Looking forward to getting it dialed in and putting the paddle tires on for some sand cruising at Silver Lake this fall.
    The Mrs. has me starting on a down stairs bathroom renovation so the black Tecate will hafta sit covered for awhile.
    The green 101 Tecate will be this winters project. It was given to me by Sandpuppy101 shortly before he passed away.

    Thanks for looking ! john
