G, I'm sure somebody makes replacement sheet metal for your shock towers. The tubular k member sounds like a good idea. Check into BMR's k members.

Deck is making some great points.

While the U.N. was a great idea when it was first founded, it has been taken over by the nations that you wouldn't want to live in, and they are trying to bring all nations under the control of the U.N.. I think it's time to get the U.N. out of the U.S. and the U.S. out of the U.N..
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

If someone make the replacement sheet metal, I can't find it.


I'm going to do the repairs patching it with metal I have to cut and weld in myself. 


Now to decide what to do to motor?

I like the stroker idea.

Main goal is around 400 to the wheels with good reliability..... if that is stock block with new internals, all forged, stroker, stock with FI, or full built with FI is to be determined. 

I like the thought of a NA motor with 400ish but don't want to sacrifice reliability.

Then again I might be convinced to do about 350 to the wheels and have some go go juice for my wild notions every now and then.

We have a tropical storm warning for Sun pm and / or Monday. Maybe it will finally rain. Hit 97* yesterday. Just plain hot and humid.
