Just a quick note...be careful "grinding" on those gasket surfaces. A couple of gouges and you will need to have them milled flat again. If you were'nt grinding, I'm sure you will be okay. Just a thought. They look very pretty, though!

So it's been a while since i've posted, but i've been keeping pretty busy with work on the flatty. Here are some updated pics on what it looks like now. It's come a long way since i started working on it I'm throwing in a picture of what i started with to give the before and after effect. Next up is installing the gas tank and the fuel line ..... keepin my fingers crossed that it goes good when she comes back to life
