never seen anyone do their exhaust like that. Its cool looking!

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

thanx Bazooka!!

i got a chance to do a little more work. im waiting on some header wrap and some flex couplings. then i will finally be able to finish the exhaust up.

besides that i got the holes drilled for the crossover pipe, and all the welding done today.

i noticed that some H pipes have a smaller hole than the diameter of pipe. I had a hole saw to cut a hole for a door knob so i just used that.. i believe it was 1 3/4"

anyway on with the pics

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Nice fab work on the exhaust! Just curious to know if the smaller diameter hole in the H-pipe affects anything much (I'm no exhaust expert, haha)?

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

thanx man!
im really not sure.. i think its just so the pressures can equalize without too much exhaust getting trapped in the crossover pipe but thats just a guess.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Dude! Your work is looking killer...:metal:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

thanx dbomb :metal::metal::metal: and ive had a plan for a long time to make the bed floor fold up in between the wheel tubs, im gonna put some hinges on the boards at the front of the bed so i can lift it up to show it off, plus make it super easy to work on :metal::metal::metal: im also gonna install led light strips under the boards to light it all up when i wanna show it off at night :metal::metal::metal::metal::metal::metal:

im pretty stoked about doing the bed floor but that will be the last step on this build

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

that exhaust is bananas very slick!!always sic work kat

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

I have plans for a custom bed deck as well, with many of the options you just mentioned as well, and for the same reasons !!
You :metal: Coulter, you da man !!

thanx dino :metal::metal:

thanx murph :metal::metal::metal:
ya im suprised ive never seen it done yet.. it will be so handy to be able to lift it up.. its like a truck with a trunk :lol::lol::lol:

thanx man!! i dont get out of the 60-66 forums very often but im glad i checked out ur truck!! i like how u mounted the rear bags, ive never seen it done like that :metal::metal:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Thanks bro
I try to make it ride good and functional for handling, avoiding body roll.

How's that paint holding up on the tires?
I really want to paint mine but unsure of what I should use and I've heard a lot of jetliner fusion doing badass work for whitewalls

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Just looked over build.. SWEET work, SWEET truck !!!! Keep it up :metal:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

well it looked great for a couple months but they discolored pretty bad. ive read that you cant paint new tires without them turning a lil brown.. i tryed to clean them with bleach, degreaser, soap and water and windex..lol i thought that would get enough of the oil off to make them stay wait but i guess i was wrong..lol im hoping if i just paint them again that they will stay white this time.. Ill have to look into that jetliner fusion


thanx man!!!

well no work on the truck today but i decided i needed a suicide shifter and clutch on my harley so i made a bracket to relocate the clutch cable to the original shifter lever and made a suicide shifter out of an old door knob..
i got everything working good and its a blast to ride.. a lil tricky taking off but im starting to get pretty smooth with it now.. its actually way easier to find neutral now!!!
next step is to trim the old shift lever down and grind the shifter smooth and paint it and the bracket.. i will get some good pics after its all done
quicky cell pic

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Harley is bad ass man. If thought about doing suicide shift on my sporty but I'm afraid. Haha.

thanx man!!!

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

that exhaust is crazy cool, I like it!! my exhaust will be easy a straight pipe to a 45* to a tip! it will come out just before the rear tires, bet your wanting to really drive it with as close as you are

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

I can almost hear it now! Can't wait man! Looks nice. That bike looks super clean too!:metal:

Great job on the exhaust. I am planning mine out right now. Going with 3" as well but i'm running a cam'd LS. Hopefully it will achieve the sound we are looking for!! Great job on the build always love cheking in, Keep it up..

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

man, i really love the bike... its the time of year for crusin' and you'll be styling on that bike. we pushed the bbq to this fall and it looks like your truck will be good to go. look forward to seeing it in person. looks great...

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

ya man im getting pretty pumped!!! if i could just stay away from my bike long enough to get my truck done...

thanx man!!! ur paint turned out killer :metal::metal::metal:

thanx for watching man!!! hope your exhaust turns out how you want. its a fun part of the project :metal::metal::metal:

thanx man!!! i ended up going to a bike ralley instead of installing my exhaust.. its super fun to ride with that jockey shift on it!!! people look at me like WTF when im riding it :lol::lol::lol:
Fall will be perfect.. i should have it running and all the little bugs worked out by then

SICK!!
Nice HD.

I just laid my 06 RK down this past friday when a douche decided to slam on his brakes at a green light in the rain.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

i should have some updates this weekend :metal::metal::metal: i finally got my seat back from the upholstrey shop. also got my exhaust done and installed. just doing a lil work on the wiring inside the cab so i can put the seat in

thanx man and sorry to hear about ur wreck. that sux man. did you get hurt?

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Not too bad, banged and bruised. Engine guard (lindby) did its job. My choices were to either swerve left and hit the curb into a wall or right into cars or straight. I chose straight but as my bike came closer and closer to the douche I chose to lock my brakes and lay it down to avoid going into his truck and over my bars. Now my bags are scratched up. Im thinking of plasti dippin now

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

That's awesome man! Cant wai to check it out!
I've been impatiently waiting, I want to hear that baby run!!! I heard a nova with a 454 in it and imagine that's how your truck is going to sound:metal:
Posted via Mobile Device

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

sounds like you made the safest choice!! thats hard to do in a matter of seconds. that plasti dip goes on pretty thick so it will hide some imperfections

thats funny you say that.. ive got a buddy with a 454 nova that i got to hear a while back and i was thinkin the same thing..lol ive been working lot of overtime for the past 6 weeks so i havent been real motivated to work on it but im gonna try to make myself bang out some work this weekend.. i gotta get this thing goin.. im soo close :metal::metal::metal:

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

cant wait to see more

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

well got a lil bit done today.. the first few pics are some things i scored a couple weeks ago at an old salvage yard around here. some cool old tags, a wall mount fan that im gonna mount in my shop.. been sitting outside for who knows how long but it still works. also got an old pipe vise and stand (not pictured) my favorite score of the day was an old Unity spotlight.. still not sure if im gonna use it on my truck or not but i had to get it for 35 bucks!!!!:metal::metal::metal:

today i made a plate to cover up my shifter hole, adjusted my switch on my shifter for the reverse lights and hooked it up. also ran the rest of the wires under the carpet for the tail lights and fuel gauge and such

http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3792/9...72372333_b.jpg

got my seat installed today to.. not real happy with the wrinkles around the armrest area but there isnt anything good to attach the material to when you get a good stretch do to the hole being there. other than that i really like it

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

Really loving the build. I've been watching it since you started; may have to find some time to stop by next time I'm in Muskogee. My best friend lives out there so every so often I head that way.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 

:jdp: nice updates man! U r getting so close now exhaust looks mean!can't wait to do mine already....got a bit to do before I'm ready for that though :lol: and the interior looks super clean man very nice style.
