A Pug-Nosed Tow Truck

[LukeTheJoker]

Alright well I discovered something much better than PB it's called Deep Creep I sprayed both broken head bolts with it and about half hour later I was able to unscrew the broken bolts with my fingers! I doused the cylinders with the stuff and will try to move it tomorrow if it doesn't move I'm pulling the engine for a bare block rebuild get the block boiled and all.

That is awesome! I might have to look into getting some!

Finally got the engine out and it's mostly apart now just having a heck of a time getting the exhaust and intake manifold off of it. Front brakes are also done with the exception of the brake lines.

One of the many reasons the entire brake system is getting redone kind of eerie that's all there is to stop this big of a truck.

And with a car in back.

I'll be honest, I forgot I made this post. I have gotten a lot done tho since I've been gone. Engine is done and I'm just waiting on the new clutch kit to arrive so I can put it back in and I bought six new tires for it. This is biggest reason I haven't been dealing in bikes as much as I usually do I've dumped over 3k into this thing in past couple months, ouch.

But it's gonna be so worth it.

I also got the windshield frame out and taken apart to put new glass in it and I only got stuck once by a microscopic piece of glass.

Even found a period correct flare set complete with the flags for $5 at a flea market for the truck.
