The main thing is : you're finally having fun with it .

I agree about the sound system, I usually get by with a decent radio, if I need more sound I just add a decent amplifier and better speakers .

I too love my own typ of music, I don't care what others think of my choices .

More end project stuff. Rust here is serious threat to exposed steel. The ocean spray and 24 hour salt in the air can demolish stuff so fast its downright terrifying. I found a product called cerroseal somewhat effective at slowing corrosion. Water based and turns rust to a black magnetite coating that is touted as a primer. A good oil based paint seems to seal the deal. Heres some before, during and afters. Stuff paints on turns blue then black and takes black gloss paint. Not show quality just durable. BTW had it with our forum pic added so switching to imgur (despite their highly offensive nature). I do try to keep it off the disc faces as best i can but it seems not to cause problems.


AT 75+ this may be the last time i can get the wheels off and on by myself !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That stuff looks good, I hope it lasts .

Don't forget the spray some Lithium grease in the leaf springs to prevent wear & noise plus makes it ride better .
