Stone Grey with that interior color is the same as Gavins Split, love that combo! The black piping looks very nice on the seats.

Looks great! One day I'd love to build one of these!!

I had a 2017 with a 1 3/4" exhaust on it in my old 63 , it was ok but really soft in the bottom end. Really woke up when I put an 1 5/8" on it

What carbs, heads and cam you have in it?
