well thanks guys! my latch was not opening all the way. as i said befor i grinded off a piece of metal and welded it on the part where when you pull the lever and the piece connected to the lever comes in contact with the latch. allowing for more travle for the latch. i know i worded that terriably. sorry.haha
im only 15 but doing all the work on my bird, cant wait to get her on the road!
