Looks great Scott.....:metal:

Re: project 62
 

I liked seeing your truck in person. Looked awsome. It will be cool when we are all cruzin.

Re: project 62
 

:metal:

Jeff....something about the balance of nature.....for every dis-assembled truck there has to be an assembled one....so I sacrificed so Scott could get his together...:cool:

Re: project 62
 

:lol:
Yep now i have to help Joe get his going ;)

So when are we starting on it Joe :sumo:

Re: project 62
 

Scott, your truck is lookin' awesome. You do some great work.


Are you out of excuses now? :haha:;)

Re: project 62

Re: project 62

Hell yeah, the frame was the hard part...now he can start putting some of those parts in his spare room to some use :metal:.......after giving his family some attention ;)

Re: project 62
 

Yeah, I'm trying to picture it finished!! :lol:

Props to you for loaning me your sand blaster too! More rep points for you as soon as it will let me! :metal::metal:

Re: project 62
 

:lol:
Thanks!
Yeah i cant wait to get it to the point to drive it! Now its just the matter of getting all the things mounted on theframe so i can take it all apart to grind and smooth all the welds down :lol:

:lol: No problem man! :thumbs:

Re: project 62
 

Where are you getting the geometry for the rear end set up?

Re: project 62
 

Like as far as the pinion angle or the whole setup plan?

Re: project 62
 

Length of draglinks. Is it going to be a 3 link?

Re: project 62
 

I forgot the length of the bars, i think they are around 31"
No a wishbone setup.

Re: project 62
 

So how did you come up with the length?

Re: project 62
 

Just made the bars, i heard that the longer the bars the better the ride and the angle at the frame would be a perfect place to mount them.

Re: project 62
 

Where ya been Sam???

Re: project 62
 

Hey Scott, ................. I didn't mean to tear up your sandblaster..... :exit:

Re: project 62
 

Thanks man :metal:

:lol: ill take the skis as collateral :lol:

Re: project 62
 

:lol:

I found out that they aren't as stout as they look. The gun valve developed a hole in the side from the sand and it started blowing out the side of the valve. And the tip you had was too small for the sand. I couldn't find replacements so I just bought another blaster like yours. I'll give you the valve from the new one and I'll see if I can order me one online.

Re: project 62
 

:lol:

If it self detonated its self there isnt much we can do about it man its no biggie im sure there is parts for it around town somewhere. Im not worried about. ;)

Thanks! ;)
From what he says he already has the bike put back together and has rode it :metal:
Ill do whatever colors you want. We can paint it like a rainbow :lol: :lol:

Well i just have the hinges that it came with welded to the frame at the moment, that was just to make it to our meet a couple weeks ago. i do have an idea for it but its kind of hard to explain.

Re: project 62
 

Yea i got the ones it came with. But with the quality you've showed on this project, I know you will come up with something better. I am working on an electronic latching system for mine now. I want to use actuators to raise and lower the front end, and solenoids and limit switches for the latching. I'll keep an eye out for this thread as you go along.

Re: project 62
 

Well thanks i appreciate it!
I had a latch in the center with two gas shocks, similar to a camaros rear hatch and it worked pretty good but these hoods really need 2 latches on each side. I used the hood pins before but was thinking i could come up with something a little better.

Re: project 62
 

those bike parts look good:metal:

Re: project 62
 

Thanks Gage!
