Finally made some good progress. Got a 22.5 degree pipe from rockauto to complete the exhaust. NO muffler shop in town would make me one, which was baffling. I was willing to pay whatever they wanted, but oh well, I got the pipe for $10 and I'll just use some clamps for now.
Cheap $50 muffler works pretty well.
Painted the front wheel.
New shinko tires.
18" rear wheel shipped for like $60 iirc
Still runs like absolute ass. Very hard to start, and will pop and backfire through the carbs. I think i may have an issue with ignition wiring, I recall it not turning over a few months ago until I wiggled the fuse box. It then blew the main fuse, which i then replaced with a regular fuse, since i couldn't find any locally in the correct size.
BUT I'm happy to be almost at the look I've been wanting.
