Nothing too exciting right now, just maintenance, inspection, oil leak fixing. The rattling noise turned out to be loose converter bolts;

I dont know, looks like a lot more than just "maintenance" to me DD :!:
When I do maintenance it usually involves a drain pan, an oil filter, rags to clean up all the oil I spilled, 1 to 6 hours, a busted knuckle and a 12 pack of Bud Light :!:

Thanks Rabbit. Things weren't really as bad as that first pic looks. I had just installed the air shifter and a new play back tach and did a quick hookup just to test as I knew I was going to redo this winter.

Well almost done with the wiring. Fired it up tonight everything works great. Oh what a refreshing smell and sound.. Got to clean up the inside put the seat back in and a few little things and I will post some more pics.

Man am I glad this is done. All new wiring and repainted rollcage with Hammertone Gray. I might have to get Rabbit to fix this for me again. Oh how I hate photo bucket. :x

Nice work. She is clean & all buisness looking. Well done; reminds me that no one can do it better than oneself when they are passionate & take pride in their work.
