Haven't posted anything in a bit. Got a new, rust free windshield frame, working on rattlecanning it all black, and should have a new piece of windshield glass monday.

You didn't put tape over where it says Jeep?
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me-- and there was no one left to speak for me.

I didn't, it's punched into the steel so it's still pretty easy to read, unlike the newer ones.
I'm debating on getting a sticker or masking it off and painting it green though.

It needs stickers that I should get now that I have a windshield. Otherwise, yes it's perfectly legal.
Is that odd? <.<

Yeah, I'm digging the little bits of green so far,

Glass is good. Windshield wipers next? Or as I like to think of it the automatic mud shovelers?

Unless it's for emission reasons, why not?It can go highway speeds, has seatbelts, good tires, etc. It's just a little...bare bones.
Eventually I'll get the hard top and doors for it, like this, but for now it's not really an issue. Texas isn't exactly a cold place. >.>

Don't get any ideas. Remember, your bike has less surface area.

I haven't posted updates in a while.
Better carburetor and fancy home made bracket to make it work.
Painted and mounted KC lights.
And freshly hooked up home made windshield washer fluid reservoir and really high powered new pump to go with it.
