So since there are no MAJOR mods to be done to the 40 this winter I decided to actually do something about how UGLY she is..
Got drunk last night while watching OCC Picked up a couple of ideas...
Also, some nut wanted the gas filler in the tub. I have hated the @&@&@&@&ing thing since I did the body swap in 89 (not a misprint.. 1989)
"Hallucinations are bad enough. But after awhile you learn to cope with things like seeing your dead grandmother crawling up your leg with a knife in her teeth. Most acid fanciers can handle this sort of thing. But nobody can handle that other trip-the possibility that any freak with $1.98 can walk into the Circus-Circus and suddenly appear in the sky over downtown Las Vegas twelve times the size of God, howling anything that comes into his head. No, this is not a good town for psychedelic drugs."

I love BBQ lids....
All sorts of available options when you need a nice constant radius..
Got the front and the rear of the rear fenders mocked up.
I love white paper. It almost looks like I have already done work to the beastie..

@nd part of getting this crap done is making it ride nicer in the rear. From some of the above pics you can see the rear shocks.. They are at a HIDEOUS angle that is ALMOST useless. And bottoms out whenever I hit a bump. IT sucked. F'n grogan and Rascall were airing (I use that term loosely) it out on the dunes at the TB jambo last year. I knew that if I had even thoguht about it I would not ahve made the trail runs the next day.. So I had to run tha camera with my tail between my legs..
Picked up a set of Pig's BBCS 15" travel shocks for coils.. I really like the integrated bumpstops. WEll, mostly cause I do nto have ANY bumpstops in the rear
Mocked them up to see how everything fits..
