Status: offline 		Well today, I went up to the LHS to pick up a screw kit from them. I am planning on running up there again to get the rest of the arms, bulkheads, hinge pins, etc. Here is how it looks now

Status: offline 		New Pics I went back to the LHS and bought the rear arms, front bulkheads, rear body mount/posts, FOC, and some other goodies.

If anyone has some extra hinge pins or the little things that screw into the bulkheads and hold the rockers, please PM me

I second this motion!

Before you get too far into the build you should in the least get button hex screws to replace the regular hex screws.


Lookin' good so far, BTW.
