First time off the sawhorses and on the ground in 6 months, and first time in the daylight in 3 years. Its a really good feeling :dance: :clap: .I should have the hood back from the bodyshop next week and completely finished by next weekend I'm hoping :beers; . Got to fire it up today :drool:, but have to do a little carb adjustment but it was an awsome sound and smell :dance: :dance: .

Great pictures, superior detailing. Looks like a winner to me.

Congrats and excellent work. :clap:

Your pictures show the uniquiness and complexity of the Brut design.
Not a project for the unseasoned rebuilder. You've done extremely well.

But.... I think your shocks are backwards.

Well Todd :shhh: , just so you know this is my first complete restoration and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be so now they will just get easier. I'm glad you noticed the shocks were on backwards :bonk: ,so I will make sure to flip them around :roll: . Thanks for the complements though, that is encouraging me to get started on the next sled(82 Trailfire LX).

Thanks Todd, I'm hoping all my other builds come out this good. I'm alot like Brock when it comes to this kinda stuff "real picky" :whistle: , but it's not a bad thing i guess. I have always been like that when I did this kinda stuff.Now I can Start on my 82 T/F LX and see if my daughter wants to do the kitty cat this summer, I think she will have fun doin that one, since it was the first sled she ever rode.
