Its coming along slowly,Still looks like the last picture.
I am trying to find a windshield but they are hard to come by.
Right now I have ditched plans on the hot rodded 140 crossflow (will be up for sale soon) for a 120 looper that I recently picked up.
Just starting the the process of picking up the right parts to make this new engine a screamer.

I'm worried about finding a windshield as well. if i cant find one i might try to make a mock windshield out of fiberglass or get a frame made and the plexie glass formed. the second of the two would probaly be expensive but would look better.
