    Sanded it down to bare metal everywhere i could, stripped the rest of it... etch primed it. Slammed it to the ground, this is how it sits now.

    Took thr front coils all the way out, the back has a 5 inch slanted block that sets the pinion on the truck perfect! Sitting bumpstops all the way around. In the process of getting it running now... New plugs, dizzy, wires, fresh oil change etc. Was half running when i got it. I let a guy rebuild the carb for me and now it hardly does anything. Cranks stumbles and cuts off. (Thats at full throttle) Im hoping its a carb problem as im saving for a weber right now...
