    Interior 2" of foam, some 3/4" plywood, staples, glue and a Mexican blanket make a pretty nice interior. I also managed to get a title on it in my name, now to insure it and register it. A little more brake work and some wiring and we'll be ready for Beatersville. Jeremy

    Not too many, Lube the leaf springs so they don't squeak. Find another rim for the drivers side front it's bent. Hook up front brakes (rear brakes won't be enough at speed). Work on carb. Our too do list is still quite large though. Lol Jeremy

    Getting floored The kids have been working on the floor pans and tunnel. They did pretty good up until the last piece when another kid (who isnt on this project) decided to show them how they should do it. Notice where he beat the crap out of it with an hammer and welded it. It was easy...

    Crossed over to the "darkside"

    My best friend has well over 150k on car tires on the back of his GL1800's. I was quite skeptical at first but some of the places I have followed him have made be believe that other than a little different "feel" the car tire is superior on heavy touring rigs. Before the switch he had two...
