So many great times with Bruce. He will be missed but his sense of adventure will live on.

Baja 1000 2002:

Once you have the body off, replacing your rusted pans is not that difficult as long as you can weld and have some fabrication ...

I usually just run the shroud and the cylinder tins. Make sure the deflector tins under the cylinders, above the pushrod tubes, are in place.
