Thank you! The best part is how great it runs and drives. That makes me super duper happy.

Glad you got to see the current (never say finished) product Beno.
So, the new headlights were bugging me so I put the old school ones back in.
As I've said, and Rob confirmed, the harness on this thing is toast. Therefore as I have the time I'll take anything I need electronically and just wire it up outside the loom.
Lights and tail lights are the #1 priority. I took a Rigid wiring harness I had here and wired the low beams and tail lights up.

This will work great. I removed the OEM headlight switch and installed this one.
Windshield wipers are next.
Nice job

Also, Beno was correct. Speedometer is 10 mph fast. 74 was high enough RPM. It was smooth as glass though
Pig is like"oh hell, I'm going to die!"

Once I get gauges it's on. I think I can get 90mph
I've had the Pig to 97.
Both of my 80's have no problem rolling at 90. Although only one of them is currently running. Maybe I can get the white one to 120 when the engine is done. 120mph in an 80 on 40's, what's the worst that can happen.
