Yeah I could have fashioned a different air-cleaner intake and used only 2 carbs, but 4 just look so much better . I used to drop the PG into 1st rolling up to a stop sign and then stomp on it, leaving billowing clouds of blue smoke in my wake. Ah youth and stupidity, I got about 100 miles per quart (of oil).
I saw your build earlier, nice job. I couldn't remember if mine had the silver painted taillight panel or not, so I left it. I've only got one or two B&W photos of the old girl.
