Another full day yesterday...so some updates.
It doesn't look like a lot got done but for those of you who have done this you know that the little details are what takes so much time. Oh and another little project that I didn't first plan on
I finally decided to bite the bullet and do over the sun-pad, I just couldn't do all this work and leave that as is. I also decided to replace the mirror plex to get rid of the cut outs for the carbs...I wanted a full flat surface to show off the Whipple's and reflect the LED's I'm adding.
I love how the battery boxes came out, big thanks to Phil for that
Another pic of some of the subtle accents I added with powder coating...the gas sniffer mounting bracket.
Enjoy the pix and feel free to comment.

Oh I will...just forgot my good camera today.
Seriously, I wish I just gutted the whole thing right from the start, would have been easier. The trim pump brackets that I wanted to powder coat purple...yup finally getting to do those now too 
Yeah I bought my MirroPlex from a local place here in Ft. Lauderdale, Prospect Plastics. I'll be picking that up this week or next so let me know if you want me to get you a quote while I'm there.
