Guys,Thanks for the input.Yea,I remember going through this w/the last set of hinges on another drom,& did I learn? Well,that's the last time I use those hinges.Plus there a pain to get.
Well,plated the frame & added a chrome strip to bottom of drom.

Since she's gunna sit for a month apart while paint sets. Figured I'de try to learn the trany shiftin.

I would of said what gear I'm in,but,didn''t want to sound like a fool when I get all confused on what's going on at the moment. Gotta get some miles under my belt w/this baby,before I act like I know what I'm doing.

Thanks for lookin!
