Oh boy!!! a black road runner - this is gonna be killer for sure! I am anxious to see your fuel lines, I must start doing this, along with wire looms. Time to up the game I say - looking forward to this Mike. (Even if there was an Ohio State cup in the picture, LOL) WE ARE PENN STATE!!

Thank you Tom it was actually pretty easy for my fuel lines just used an extra plug wire then drilled my carbs and fuel pump like you would for a sparkplug. Then just painted the wire silver. Here's it's power plant.

love it!!! a pro street runner, don't get any better than that!! great job on it all. that motor will scream in that engine bay.
one thing if I may, check your chrome tree, there is a small chrome rod that goes between the wheels on your wheelie bars. put a little dab of super glue on each end and glue that sucker in and it will pull those wheelie bars together. you may have to clamp it till it dries.
