I've pretty much got the go ahead to finish my Triumph and CB750 asap. The Triumph will come first. Now that Lori comes home at about 7PM now, that gives me just a little over an hour of free time an evening to work on the bikes. If I can get a small thing done a night; it all adds up. I ordered a 50' welder extension cord last night, got my new wire spool on. My torch needs an acetylene refill. Otherwise, I'm good to go.
