Thanks Chuck,

Still a ways to go with big-ticket items. Exhaust - Wheel/Tires - Glass - Sound Insulation - Wipers and such. We also have what they call, "Crusin Grand" in the summer in Escondido. Would love to come down to El-Ka-John and finally meet face-to-face. Forgot to mention how great the Toyota Power Steering is to have. My previous F1 was brutal.

Great lookin' ride.
I agree with your paint scheme.......

What cam are you running?

If you haven't selected mufflers yet, Brockmans steel packs have a nice sound.

Maybe see you around, my daughter lives in Temecula, I hope to make the Big 3 trek Jan 16' in Mater..

Way cool, for me the only thing better than seeing a Monkey Face, is seeing one on its maiden drive and the ear to ear grins that come with it. The look on your Wife's face says it all. Congratulations to you both. And thank you, just watching the video brought a smile to my face and joy to my day.

Thanks Buddy,

Wish I could join in with you but I used up my alcohol privileges 4 years ago. I'll be shooting you a copy of my "one change at a time" record to date, dealing with Carb/Cam manners at idle. Could use another knucklehead's point of view. [/QUOTE]


No problems Old Friend. You fill your mug with your frosty beverage of choice and I'll fill my mug with a frosty beverage of my choice (although mine might be constructed with a bit more hops and malts....LOL) and we'll clunk them together and drink the thrill of the first ride


woohooo
Bobby
