Heath the next thing is going to be the big brake kit as soon as we get less busy in the shop these recalls are taking all our time which is cool by me as we are making $$$$ hand over fist I am looking out for a 68SWB just to have one of each I mean a 60's and a 70's style just people have no respect for money the kind of money they ask for some of these buckets but I know that sooner or later I will come accross one. I am also thinking of a 69 camaro and build it pro-touring my brother in law is almost done with his and the fact that it has a back seat seems more apealing to me as my wife and kids like to cruise in the old buckets. I am also trying to sell one of my Harleys so that I can fund the next project.....

Anyone looking for a Harley Davidson StreetGlide?

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild

I spent part of the day cleaning the engine bay, sometimes I feel to just take all the billet parts off and powder coat them with some kind of color. Polishing really bites....

Looks great. But that's the reason I'm going with chrome and the billet specialties highly polished pulleys that look like chrome and have a clear coating on them to avoid polishing...


you have to stay on top of chrome to keep it dry or it'll get rusty, but it's so easy to wipe down and bring the shine out.

I just spent 3 hours polishing 2 wheels on the 4x4 and I couldn't make them look as good as they did when I got them so I understand. I'm bummed.

Your stuff looks pretty good though. Maybe you should give me some pointers.

I know the owner of that truck and also know the builder. He was offered 65k and did not take it, he wants 100K for it....

Thanks Travis....



His truck is 100% perfect there are zero flaws on it..Mine was painted ten years ago and it shows. His truck is at another level for sure. However it is not a cruiser like mine it is a "SHOW Truck" so after seeing both of the trucks at depth I would say that we are not in the same class in any way shape or form. Hell someone offers me 65k for my truck I will deliver it personally and leave it with a full tank of gas..

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild

I do not look at a 65k, 100k vehicle the same way as i look at someones vehicle that they spent some time on. Anyone with $$ can have one sick vehicle but someone that spends their own time on it IMO has the more respectable one. Even just a little work on it. You can spend 100k and not know crap about these trucks.

Well I'm just going by what I can see in pics and you know what they say........... a picture is worth a thousand bucks.

You sure you wouldn't throw in a case of oil too?

Re: Al's 71C10 Rebuild

I agree with Travis. Your truck is every bit as cool/nice. Plus the enjoyment of working and driving them. You can't put a price on that.
