After those last pictures I had discovered that I melted my battery due to the exhaust leaving the engine and hitting the battery square on. I guess thats what I get for not installing the battery tray or securing the battery.
Anyway I have since gotten part of my exhuast system installed. I managed to modify 2 CDN tire 90 degree exhaust pipes to fit from the engine manifold and the mounts on the hull floor. Now I just have to put in the striaght pipes and mount the mufflers.
I have also been busy painting the inside and outside of the carrier over the last couple of days off that I have had. I now have the rear compartment from fenders down primed and painted in Kahki Green #3. I also have the rear upper plate painted on both sides and the left side plate painted on the outside.
I will let the pictures show the rest.
