Just continue on, some of us are still watching.

I love this build.

 

[landuse]

You are doing everything right, so the only comment I have is that it is awesome so far

**** I love what you've built here. I really am impressed. The Kruger thing was a joke, ever watch Seinfeld?

One thing for certain is this Vankart has a high COG (I knew it would from the start). After a bunch of taunting from my buddies and several attempts to bust out a 180* slide, I nearly nailed a few but this one was caught on video.

That's clean...but despite..the smartalecks around here "That can read!" Some of us just wanna see pics...because we can't...What is this this "FreeRunner abrasive device' of which you speak ?

Well this thing has four monster wheels that throw steel shot and sand at opposing angles wile the piece is transported down the rollers and out the other end shiny and ready for finishing.

How much for a pickup with an exwife inside? Could solve a couple of problems at once?

YIKES!!!

 

[landuse]

Dang!! Now that is a handy machine to have!

 

[bigair49]

Ya it makes blasting stuff so easy. You can't use it for thinner materials and delicate stuff it will not come out the other side in very good shape if at all.

So washing Grandma's china set is out. Got it.

 

[bigair49]

Ok so with the frame all cleaned up and the welds touched up, I got some Epoxy Primer on it to seal in the freshness of the blasted steel.
I got some goody's for the engine today!! Ill fill you in tomorrow!

Just shut up already....stick to your own stupid threads so people can avoid you!

Close... but I will still run The CAT PISS in this one as the compression will be higher but is still low enough that it will not require high test petrol, good old 89-94 should work fine. I did however put together a nice little package, Race head with S20 cam with larger valves 22/25mm for low end torque, High volume oil pump, 54 mm cylinder and domed piston and a high torque starter to top it off. I might need a larger carb so I ordered a Kitaco 24mm carb just in case.

This old girl was pretty dirty in the bottom end the oil filter was full of crap but no metal so I'll clean things up and inspect the gears.I might even lighten up the flywheel..............
Cheers and have fun..

Make sure to clean the centrifugal oil filter on the clutch basket. A lot of people don't know about those and never do it that's why those engines die.
