    After looking twice at the mounting for the front bracket I changed it. Something more stronger.

    Some light good tacks and paint and BOOM. 9e4ad6451c1075f1cdb970e0fe500850_fc82683dd3c33560f92a2379dab9e554c3302693.jpg81505678ac0dee9d256a9c4fb2ef5a35_19e28ea6b50214936f588365b5e630edc5b53186.jpg2e2599e663ca67b1372c6fba87820431_b6bb00bd99edad87425581a6a36a26c43dd37120.jpg

    You have been adding alot lately. Looking good. Like that you changed the 1st gen battery mounting and then made it stronger by welding it up.

    Replaced all the lights inside and out with vleds.. changed stop and turn signal.

    Also replace alternator do to failing diodes.

    Also the build will be back on full stop as I prepare for surgery again. 93d5e53349f43c8cf72e1182fadd7df7_dc1c73444c6af3d51cc33ee06ce259a857e74243.jpg
