A good friend of mine makes t's with anything you want. He can do it rather cheap as well.

If that was a Vermont truck it wouldn't matter. They would need to be cut off with torches

I'm not sure Bill will let you work on his truck. I mean marrying his daughter is one thing, but that..... yeah..... I don't know....
Nate - No, I haven't gotten the video yet. I was actually out there taking pics of the new exhaust the day after it was done, and the camera battery went dead. I went to plug it in...and no charger. Asked the wife and she didn't know where it was either. So...i couldn't charge the camera. The charger reappeared last week though, so I'm going to get to it. Promise. Won't be today though - my clutch master cylinder pushrod broke last night in my dad's driveway when I went to pull out, so I'm trying to fix that this evening (was out there 'till 11:30 last night working on it). I'll get the videos and pics up soon.

Bill only lets me do the "dumb ape" jobs on his truck. I guess that's probably warranted though - I'm a novice mechanic and have a lot to learn.

Didn't get a thing done to the cc this weekend. I took off on the bike about 1:00 Friday afternoon and rode to Louisburg, NC, and I just got home about 20 min. ago. So, no painted frame like I was hoping.....

Umm, that sounds like a "screw off" weekend. How you ever expect to get anything done? hehe

Don't feel bad, I didn't get much done on anything this weekend either.

Yep, Mike is right.

On another note, are you stripping wiring,brake lines, and everything? I think I'd try and replace as much as I could when its easy to get at. Gonna be a long project anyway. Just wondering.

Well, this is what happened. Wednesday was me and my wife's 20th anniversary. She left early Thursday morning to drive her parents ( 81 and 85 years old ) to NC to their family reunion on Saturday. She tryed and tryed to get me to go with her, but I said no, I had too much to do. I got to felling guilty cause it was our 20th anniversary and all, so I left work early Friday, came home, through some clothes on the bike and hauled a$$. She didn't know I was coming, so I surprised her! It's about a 6 hour ride........my a$$ is sour! LOL!!!
