Heading out for a weeks vacation, when I get back i'm going to start on my 800. Figure it's about time, frigging things been sitting in my shop for about 5 years now. Should be done by this fall. Then i'm going to do this one. Really looking forward to bringing it back to life. Joe

Hey Dan, This is one from our first Rupp Fest. I do know the exhaust on Greg's 740 is not correct. I don't remember Jerry Eve's looking like Greg's either |

 This is Jerry Eves sled,now down by MPLS,MN area. Can't see any pipes coming out on right side,must dump out the front.I think this sled was at Princeton,MN in 2012.I know it won a trophy.It sounded really neat. When Ron started that sled,people came from everywhere to see what the heck was running.  |

making some head way. The belly pan was a real pain but its done. Question... This thing was a mess, about all i've used is the tunnel. The control arms (top of spindle)that came on the F/A had been welded and had more of a bend. The dont look factory. Does the F/A have the same control arms as the Nitro 2? They are on and look like they will work.   |

This isn't Rupp yet but it will be once I'm trained. First butt weld on .075 aluminum. I'm starting to get the hang of this tig. Stop and starts are tough. Not perfect but it will get my 800 clutch cover done up nicely.
