aha thanks man.. i feel the same way.. hence why im glad its out of storage...

the paint is all original... never been repainted... plus its not even waxed or any thing in the pictures... it does get nicer when its all cleaned up...

New spindles come with the baer kits.. so absolutly no modifications were needed... just a direct replacement...

In my earlier days, used to work on these, tune up and the like...I could not resist...just for fun, slowing revving that baby up to 5,000 RPM! Once that turbo whine kicks in....WOW! Truly an awesome sound!
