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

No problem man!

jason65 · 06-02-2009, 07:33 AM

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

scotts62 · 06-02-2009, 07:45 AM

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

jason65 · 06-02-2009, 07:47 AM

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

scotts62 · 06-02-2009, 07:49 AM

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

jason65 · 06-02-2009, 07:51 AM

So how did you come up with the length?

scotts62 · 06-02-2009, 07:54 AM

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.

Sam59 · 06-10-2009, 05:58 PM

joe231 · 06-10-2009, 06:26 PM

ill take the skis as collateral

*highperf4x4* · 06-11-2009, 01:06 AM

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.

scotts62 · 06-11-2009, 07:39 AM

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.

scotts62 · 06-11-2009, 07:54 AM

I painted a friend of mines street bike lastnight check it out.
Ill take some better pics when its put together..

joe231 · 06-11-2009, 09:26 AM

Alan's Classic · 06-11-2009, 11:24 AM

*highperf4x4* · 06-11-2009, 01:19 PM

frmula505 · 06-11-2009, 02:37 PM

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.

frmula505 · 06-11-2009, 05:41 PM

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.

scotts62 · 06-11-2009, 05:50 PM

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.

jgh64pkup · 06-11-2009, 06:00 PM

those bike parts look good

scotts62 · 06-11-2009, 06:11 PM

Thanks Gage!
My buddy just called and said they accidently scratched the tank
