    Rebuilt the carburetors, got a set of pod filters to go on the carburetors. I had to align the carburetors. Here's what they look like now:


    Your 1993 Dodge Stealth is one of 6351 that received VIN numbers. Based on the order of the serial numbers, your car was the 5212nd out of the 6351 that were made that year.
    Your car was built in the 3rd week of February 1993. Of the 47380 vehicles made at the Nayoga plant, your car was the 40537th vehicle to be created that year.
    There are 281 other cars that were made with both the same interior and exterior color. There are 779 cars with the same exterior color and 2316 cars with the same interior color.
    Note: The production order is assigned based on the order of the serial number.

    Machine shop says head and cylinder are done, so waiting until next week to pick up, the budget isn't there currently. I will probably start assembly of the case and everything this weekend.

    I haven't had an opportunity to get the stuff back from the machine shop. I am going to be delayed even more now that I am pursuing a lawsuit.

    Getting close to finishing this bike. I am just about done with the engine. I have been polishing the crankcase housings which has been really tedious, but the bike is getting restored to its former glory.

    Yea these bikes are much easier and cheaper than any car.

    So for some progress, I ordered the mirror replacements, handlebar grips, and a riding jacket. I have been wearing the jacket to break it in as it is stiff still. It wasn't a cheap jacket, but I got it cheap.

    Ordered fuse block and got the mirrors and fuse block. Will be working on installation this weekend. Will also be cleaning up fairings, windshield, fixing brake caliper, and doing other odds and ends on the bike.
