Recieved my Velocity Stacks from Mike at Steel Dragon Performance. He did great work. Really like the look and how they turned out. Thanks Mike. http://i1265.photobucket.com/albums/jj516/SWAMPRABBIT2/Rebel%20250%20Intakes/6AD5CF8D-7562-4FA4-9C04-46FD48926CA3_zpshdqnwjdk.jpg http://i1265.photobucket....

Started working on me a couple different intake setup. Not sure which one I will use till the motor is in the frame. That and leg placement is determined. http://i1265.photobucket.com/albums/jj516/SWAMPRABBIT2/Rebel%20250%20Intakes/00AA8F44-BDD5-4E82-813E-10FC67EDFB08_zpsntbtugch.jpg http://i1265.ph...

A little update. Frame welded and primered (surface rust reasons). Fitting up the curved rear support tubes. Next will focus on the neck support. http://i1265.photobucket.com/albums/jj516/SWAMPRABBIT2/Rebel%20Springer%20Build/EE3A6239-02CF-4EB0-9C8D-BBC3B7516453_zps8suhyouo.jpg http://i1265.photobuc...

Started the layout on steel for the new springer trees. Used Blue Layout Ink. Will use the Red next time.
