Wow now I remember what a woodie is

You are my most recent hero. Now I have to learn how to post pics. Well, I have a couple of weeks, half the engine is on the east coast, and in Canada. I can only hope to do as well. Great job

I had not read the previous pages when I made my last post.It was worth a few chuckles to go back.
What got me so excited is, that is what my store bought Gen 3 looked like when it was new.(well, almost

) Now I am motivated to make it LOOK as new as well as being mechanicaly new.
I hope this is taken as the compliment as it is ment to be.

thanks mik329
i didnt heat treat it, would be nice to,but i dont know anyone in the heat treating game, let alone trust enough not to send me back a warped piece of shit
but, it was fitted up right and welded right so i would be suprised if something cracks . one things for sure its not going to break sitting in my garage.my 450x has been getting most of the action latley
