Re: My 63 Project
After spending so much time on the firewall, I pretty much made up my mind that I could spend MONTHS getting it perfect and realizing that I can't do that, I went ahead and cleaned it all up, primed it and painted it.
I suppose we all get to the point where we know we aren't making a Ridler.... So get it done and make it look good. |

Re: My 63 Project
One full coil plus 2" in the drop spindles should bring the nose down some.

Re: My 63 Project
That was pretty easy. Hand packing wheel bearings is not so fun.

Re: My 63 Project
And then I got lucky, my after market wheels that I had been using with a roller, also are after market enough to handle the disk brakes.
I didn't think they were going to fit, which really would have caused some problems because I wouldn't be able to put it back together until I bought my final wheels. So now I can. Which is awesome!! |

Re: My 63 Project
So now that we have got her out of the clouds. And I think we will gain another inch or two when I put that motor back in.
