This week on the Build...

A little takeoff from Discovery's American Chopper LOL
At any rate, this weekend was spent working on the systems and wiring and prepping the engine for installation by making some necessary repairs...
We also started covering the seat.

Just being modest

Dart, Mike's just being modest about the work he does.

I think you'll find though, that anyone doing similar work has be a jack of all trades to some degree and any skills that are lacking seem to be quickly brought up to snuff.

The work I've seen on virtually every build thread here is super.

It sure keeps you humble.....
