      Thanks Romeo, it’s coming out really nice. A few little things to go then I’ll be flipping to get at the bottom.

      @@busterstravels1534 When you start working on the bottom of the tunnel. I would recommend replacing the metal fuel line and maybe adding another fuel line as a return fuel line for fuel injection setup for down the road.

      Hello Kevin, it’s coming out great. I love the feeling of getting closer with every project. Hay, at the end did you see white letters falling behind the two videos. The videos are blocking them. The say ty Kevin and April, I screwed up in placing them to close to the ending!

    Lovely Dave. That’s probably straighter than most driving around nowadays, look how the rear horns were out🤔 Stick some adjustable front shocks on like Kerschers and with the camber nut it’ll be dialled in, but I’d say it’ll be fine without anyway👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼

      Yes Philp, I couldn’t be happier. Within the next two videos I’m going to reveal a ton of new stuff I got for the chassis. Can’t wait to start putting it together.

    Enjoyed watching both parts 1 and 2. Thanks for taking the time to post these videos. What is your strategy for dealing with the hard fuel line's exit from the tunnel?

    • @busterstravels1534
      @busterstravels1534  12 днів тому

      Hello Frank,
      I’m going to flip the chassis. The bottom tunnel cover is shot, I will be placing it but before I do the plan is clean and rust treated the inner tunnel and inspect the inner tubes. I plan on changing the fuel line and actually adding a second. ( return line ). Incase I ever go with fuel injection. No plan on doing it in near future. Thanks for watching and your support. Please ask questions or comment anytime.
      👍🤓

    That was fun to watch. I noticed that you have to same rusted out areas on the tunnel right under the Napoleon hat, near the bottom of the tunnel on both sides. You didn't patch that up so I'm assuming I don't need to worry about those rusted out areas either. I was going to remove part of the underside so I could patch those up but now I'm thinking I don't need to worry about that. What do you think?

    • @busterstravels1534
      @busterstravels1534  14 днів тому +1

      I’m not a hundred percent sure where you mean. I have so much rust in that area. I still have a little work on each side little spots on the bottom. Left and right side. Also when I flip it over I’m taking off what’s left of the tunnel cover and repairing went thing I find in there. Being I’m that fat into it I’m going to change my fuel line and add a return line Incase down the line I change to fuel injection. 76 Viper green Romeo suggested that. Good suggestion.

      I think I know where you mean and I don’t believe it’s a problem unless water or rodents can get in.
