Been workin on the split over the last couple of months, its now near ready for the road. Gone through and changed everything to 12 volt, refreshed a 1500 engine, re-trimed the inside as original, dismantled everything that moves and cleaned it, cleaned fuel system with new sender etc, etc, etc.... All that is now left are wheels and suspension. Not 100% on which wheels yet, though suspension will be slammed on bags.

Should be on the road about Jan.....:thumb
