Laid some wood down today

Looks like their was quite a variety of cars! That rock crawler / buggy thing is crazy 8)

It is pretty tight on the inside but I think I can manage. I cut out some flanges today and started a set of headers.

I haven't posted any updates in a while but I'm still working on it. Radius rods on, motor and tranny mounts, panhard bar in the rear, body mounts and finished a frame for the floor. Today I shortened the steering column 8" and got it tacked into place.

I don't know the motorcycle market in WI but around here that's about what they're going for. I wouldn't consider it a bad deal but not a great deal either. I think you need to chop your kawi! :wink:

That's terrible about his father but at least he has a great role model and influence like you to help him along.

Re: Scored ANOTHER cool project! Mini dune buggy! That's a cool trade! I think it would look a lot meaner with some bigger wheels and tires.

I'm just using the u bolts to hold the front end together for now, I'll figure something else out before I get it ready for the road.

BIG BLOCK!

not quite a rat rod, more of a kustom

I'm pretty sure the spacing / pull is different. I had a shifter like that and an older Sturmey hub and I couldn't never get it to work just right, I could get it to shift into every gear but it never worked like I wanted it to.

There's a shop here in Portland that does multiple color powder coating, mostly road bike frames with different color lugs than the tubing. I've seen a few frames that they've done and it's pretty cool!

Front end is coming together.

Re: Salt Flat Rat Rad! Can't wait to see some more progress 8)

I don't think it would be that hard to do, this is just what I was thinking. With the right combo of cones, bearings and lock nuts it could work!

I've seen a few of those frames that are cracked or broken. If it were me I'd get it welded then just keep an eye on it to make sure there aren't any hairline cracks or small stress fractures.

The old tires were cracking pretty bad and they got to the point where I didn't feel safe driving on them so I picked up a set of used WWW on craigslist.

I just heard about this a few minutes ago. Sad day, RIP MCA

That's good to know, thanks for the info! I know my local wrecking yard has about 30 late 60's - late 70's Ford pickups so I'll have to check them out next time I'm there.
