Re: Company Trucks
Did you use CLR to rub the fender? I have been trying CLR with zero luck. Diluted, non-diluted, with and without scotch brite pads. I can't get the results I see everybody else getting.

Re: Company Trucks
LEEVON, the fender in the picture was just using straight buffing compound with a variable speed polisher and wool wheel. I used different speeds, let it dry then dry buffed. I tried different methods on other fenders but the end result was almost the same as with just the buffing compound. It was a fairly aggressive compound though.
Hope that helps. |

Re: Company Trucks
My wife said that, too. Then I brought the 50 home from Dad's. She doesn't"love" it, but she's okay with it.

Re: Company Trucks
Well my ADHD has kicked in and I started a small fun project. Went and picked up a 6.5 hp harbor freight special, some chromoly tubing, stopped by the local karting shop and got some goodies. Bam the makings of a motorized #drifttrike. I saw this in hotrod magazine and thought it looked cool. Anyway should have some truck updates soon.

Re: Company Trucks
Look on YouTube. Here is one example.
Didn't mean to side track you. I thought it was just me that always seems to find another project before I finish the last one. LOL |

Re: Company Trucks
For all the guys (and girls in my kids case) that had Big Wheels. Daughters were absolutely fearless; especially on hills. I remember always replacing the wheels on them. I remember renting similar setups for the Oregon dunes in the 60's before ATV were manufactured. They only had a 4 horse briggs engine but were still fun.

Re: Company Trucks
Ok since its my thread I will be high jacking it from time to time as I don't intend on doing a full blown Alternate Tinkering thread. Spent the last night drawing the first renderings of the Drift Trike. There has been tons of interest so I thought I would share my concept. I have a lot more but this will give you an idea of what I'm doing.
