Mooneyzs Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Dang Johnny Bravo.... Now that is one heck of an update. Nice work on everything. I love how you did the seat with the piping and how it looked all painted. It turned out killer. Those Seat belts turned out awesome as well. And that fuel pump and fuel filter turned out nice.
