Gotta run a battery with the stock alternator.
I know but I'm not going to use it for the starter, so I will be down sizing it..

I believe Johnt3 is correct. It won't start without the battery.

Sweet build, and good looking welds. What kind of TIG machine do you have? You're making me reconsider whether I actually want to build a hard tail or not.
Side note: I can't believe nobody has mentioned that '69... I spy a fuel rail in that engine bay. Details, please? We're currently building one for a friend. We're in the paint stage now... it's got an ls1 and t56, dakota digital gauges, vintage air, etc, etc...

I got an older Miller Syncrowave 250 probably a mid '80's model... The '69 is one I'm working on for a guy.. It has a Art Morrison Max G chassis and will have a LS style engine, nor sure what yet.... LS3????? Manual transmission 5 or 6 speed.... I still have to put radiator supports, seat mounts, back bar, and build the headers.........

Good for you jmink427. Hope you get some good work done.I'm betting on working on mine
Sunday.
Sunday.
She's got to sleep sometime........ just sneak out when she does!
Sunday I will probably be working on the 2013 Hot Rod Drag Week car..We still got a way to go on it, but its' gonna be Badass!
We did the Power Tour last year and my do a little of it this year but not the long haul as we did last year.......
In the shop trying to figure where to put all this crap.. battery, stater solenoid, rectifier, regulator, etc.......

Power Tour,Cool! You have to post some pics.
You'll figure it out.Hell,it all came off it. I looked at mounting my solenoid down by the starter,but the damn thing is so ugly. I might run one after I get mine up and running, if I can find a good looking one for cheap. I'm still running the start wire down to the electrics tank just in case.

The write up they did on us is called "Do it Cheap".. It's about half way down on the web page..... I was driving when they took the picture and my buddy Lance is in the passenger side, the car belongs to him... I'm just one of the 'grunts"... lol.

That car does sit just right. Running the Power Tour sounds like a blast.
Alright, quit screwing around and get to work on your bike.

Got a little done today... After thinking and trial and error this is what I cam up with.. I made a battery box and mounted the regulator on one side and the safety relay on the other... I then made a bracket and mounted the starter solenoid in front of the battery box. I still need to mount the rectifier, it's going to the battery box as well.

Good job on the battery box! It came out clean! Need to figure out where to put my starter relay but might do something similar to what you did!
