Haha it’s SOMETHING that’s for sure Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gauges, warning lights, glass, shift indicator, turn signal sight glass, lockup indicator, etc are all taped off then everything inside got sprayed. It was bad bad, this thing sat for atleast 5 plus years with no top after being rebuilt in 08 at Albany Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
