Li'l Ruthie's first assignment

[readyman]

'Li'l Ruthie' had her debut last weekend too after a year and a half in the shop.

Her first assignment after refit was to assist the American Legion Robert E. Coulter, Jr. Post 1941.
We were in the Northern Illinois Chapter of the MVPA honor guard vehicle convoy for the LaGrange Pet Parade - 'Honor Our Flag'.
Still waiting for some parade pics to surface...

Oop's... and the first formal introduction of Li'l Ruthie to the RuthAnn after almost two years.

RE: Li

Great set of pics. The truck looks great! I like all the details. What did you do to modify the air intake? It looks cool.

RE: Li

Nice job, looks GREAT!!!
And she wasn't even a little suspicious when you would come home late with green paint on your collar?

RE: Li

Armada,
She did mention that.

M1075,
I'd been watching too many of those American Chopper tv shows. I TIG'd a couple of 4" elbows at a right angle is all. Mainly to get it nearer to the exhaust support bracket.
