    This looks great. Lots of effort, lots of time. But you know when you see it and then drive it that you touched every nut and bolt to get it where it is now. By the way, the key word in ETIC is the first one. You just dont know til its done and in the air. Yours appears to be worth the time spent.

    Absolutely gorgeous Jim!
    I see from the wheel centres and the swing arm pivot points that you have the stock ride heights. As do I. Wondering if you have thought about lowering it a couple of cm? I'm going to play around with that in October, when I take the month off.

    Thank you lbps18. Not only lots of effort and time. There is the constant problems, headaches, issues, which morphs into nightmares.

    Years ago I took a Project Management class and tried to apply some of the concepts to this project, well that was helpful but not the silver bullet. Too many things were beyond my control.

    Sport seat? These were a casualty of the body work & Glasurit paint. The body and paint was a 100% budget overrun, so I had to sell the seats to pay bills.

    Yes, Ravi very keen eyes. And you're not the only one who noticed this. My old friend Dave Mertz pointed this out as soon as I posted a few pics on IG when the 67S became operational.

    It is on the schedule.

    I feel lucky, in this current inflationary environment I don't know if I'd have the fortitude to finish a 67S to this level.
