The exhaust will probably be a straight megaphone on each side that goes from the front cylinder to a few inches behind the motor. Its going to be stupid loud and probably shoot flames all over the place. I doubt I'll legally be allowed to drive it anywhere.

if u do that, ur winning like charlie

Looks bad ass bro,
Are you gonna have blastpipes for an exhaust?

Got rear tires finally, and pushed it out of the garage. I need to raise the rear up a notch (about 2.5"), the floor pans scraped coming out of the garage, and its not a very steep grade at all....

Front tires and all the brake lines and fuel lines, along with a new throw out bearing should be on the way next week. After I get some customer cars out of the way I will hopefully be able to get the motor going in the next two weeks and take it for a spin around the block.

Also will be making a small push bar for the front end that will also double as a headlight mount, that'll get the headlights down low and out front where they should be.

Any updates on the VW? I'm still on the lookout. Checked out a 68 last Sunday.

CX500 Deluxe, correct? I used to have a CX500 Deluxe - my first bike.

I believe so. I haven't even looked at it much more than I know its a cx500. It doesn't crank or run at the moment. So I'll be going through it in a couple minutes and see if I can't make magic happen on the customers super small budget.

Going to look wickedly sick, i'm damn sure.

Super mediocre update:

Picked up hardware to finish mounting the seats and lap belts today. Other than that, I have some customer cars and motorcycles to work on before I can get back on this thing.

I am so looking forward to seeing a car like this cruising around Richmond. Hope you bring it to Cars and Coffee one day and show a lot of those guys what it really means to work on a car with your own hands.

Don't try to talk me into it or anything lol

I can provide encouragement and guidance. And chastising if you muck it up.
