Very nice repair! My 40 was hacked worse than that one. I started repairing it but I'm not sure I like that yet or not. They hacked the frame on both sides, placed the MII cross member in place, then put the front frame horns back on and higher than the rest of the frame. Freakin nasty.Ryan

Ryan if they hacked it that bad, what do you think about putting on a Fatman front clip to save your frame??? I've put two of them on and they work and look great..Here is just one of them... this guy bought this car in Wash. and drove it all the way to So. Calif. when he got a hold of me i looked at it and told him it was so hacked together i would drive it across the street... he had it trailered to my house about 10 miles away... guess i scared him...You don't know what it is to love a car until you build one.
