Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
I'd do the Cragars. I'm also not a fan of the super slammed trucks, I like a nice "hot rod" stance, and I'm 43! Not much pavement here either, gravel and rocks mostly.:lol:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Some of the streets here aren't in that great condition, and I would tear up the suspension. That's where the air bags come in.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
I talked to the people in charge. They said that since your going to be spending all your time working on your bike project and not on your truck it would be ok to post some picture of the bobber/copper thing? I forgot the name.:lol: I did watch the show though. I'm starting to see the light.:uhmk: Cafe racer. I'm thinking I'm a bobber guy.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
My son is building a Bobber for a customer. He will paint black over this, and sand threw it to look patina. Crazy huh?

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Working on a compressor so I can sell it to make more money for the truck. I have no room to work. Need to clean things up, and get rid of stuff. My 60 gal main compressor took a crap. The bearing in motor seized up and wore a grove in the shaft. I had to go buy another compressor. This time I got a much better one. This one is a 80 gal, with a lot more CFM. My sand blaster and grinder work bit chen now. What a PITA it was to install. It must weight over 400 lbs

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
hmmm should be able to get some other motor from somewhere and sell the 60 gallon pump again , its usually the compressor that takes a dump
|
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
Did they tell you the 80 was a two stage.:lol:
|
Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
It's a 1 stage motor. Big difference on performance. It's a 4. Cylinder pump and has 16 cfm at 90lbs. Both my sand blast cabinet & sand blaster have never worked better.:metal:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
That replacement motor would be expencive, and I would still have the same crappy compressor

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
i was thinking more in terms of a used engine to sell it on , theres allways someone who will be happy to get his hands on a good (enough) used compressor
