@ Porkchop The pit was made "in house" by my dad about 30 years ago. He had my friend in the picture weld on the firebox and smoke stacks a couple of years ago. I can see what he was trying to do but it didn't work. The last time I had to do any welding was in the late 80s. I think I can still weld if I had to.
@ Curly Scooter? Well anyway here is a picture of my bike while I'm on tour in Alaska.
