Update: After spending some time with a nice feller looking over the entire project, we came to the point where his comfort level was not quite high enough to stroke the check because he couldn't hear the freshly rebuilt engine run. Fair point..and upon reflection, I've decided to go ahead and put the rig back in my shop and complete the engine break-in and get some run time video, etc. Been dying to hear it myself with the 2-in-1 Magnaflow exhaust. I want to be completely confident that what I'm offering for sale is as solid as I think it is.
I'm not going to lower my price....but I think it is good idea that I sell her with the engine showing its stuff.
I don't expect it will take more than a week to drag it out its storage hole and get the engine fired up. Will update. Thanks for your patience.
As an aside...our inspection of all the body parts reminded me that it's really not that bad off...sure see far worse all the time.
