Last weekend I rolled the 81 outta mothballs.  KNOCK WOOD everything seemed ok.  I put my new 16inch Torq Thrusts on, spring tune up, the only storage repair item was I had to tighten a clamp.  Fianlly found a NOS headlight switch and TA-DA that dash lights are back on (btw, the chinese part from Ecklers is garbage).  Best part of the day, for my birthday my kids bought me QQ plates that say KEBO on em...  A red letter day!
