Mightymes

1980 HJ45 HJ45041511 Alive I hope….I just sold it. Recently sold and now is in Texas, imported in 2020 from Costa Rica by yours truly.

A little startup video that Classic Cruisers posted to their Instagram. The engine is noisy because there is only about 8" of downpipe coming out of the exhaust manifold.

I can tell you from personal experience that if you gift that to your wife, make sure that the fuse is already blown: she WILL find a way to use it on you!😱

At what year anniversary does one gift that piece of jewelry to one’s wife?

I never heard from him, but I was able to salvage mine.

I did grind part of it, but I guess not enough.

Thanx! It's got plenty of slack. When I was putting the drum on it was a very tight fit. I'm pretty sure I had the shoes squeezed together as tight as they'd go. Not sure if it's because of new shoes or that the drum is not clean enough. I...

I actually have the OEM belt on there now and the top hose. I'll post a picture of that later as it's raining again here. Here's a before and after pic of the parking brake.

Here's a little update on the 69 FST. Since my last posting I've ordered more parts and was able to get some of them installed. I got the new rebuilt carb from Mark as well as the new fan blade and spacer. I relocated the oil filter and made...

So.... I can see that I'll be terrible at updating my progress. Yes, work is busy, and we just trudged through the holidays. But I have been getting some things done. Purchased: Dakota Digital gauges Stand a lone LS harness for manual...

Awesome! Thank you Edmund!

Like most of us in California the weather has slowed my progress down. I'll have an update with some pictures in the next few days...stay tuned!

No, no plans to do that. I do have the cover for it so that helps.

There's a lot missing, but a good project to start with. Good luck with it either way.

Hi guys, I just got some more letter sets in and I also have some stencil sets available. Send me a PM to get an order going. thanx! Craig

I'd be 100% in on that! I'm always around 80% sure about what I want to do, and I'd really benefit from someone else standing next to me with another perspective to bounce things off. To anyone watching that hasn't seen Mightymes projects, check...

If it has disc brakes, it's most likely not a 69 unless someone converted it. Brake lines aren't that bad either with the copper/nickel alloys. Easy to bend and make flares. To bad I don't live closer, cuz I'd be talking you into doing those...

Nice. I had read threads about people having trouble finding the 9mm, so I never bothered to look. I'm not sure of the front axle, but it has brand new Wilwood calipers. So I'll just get the soft lines and use an adapter to fit them.

9mm can be found: Tube Nut 9mm x 1.0 3/16 SAE Fitting - Classic Tube - https://classictube.com/product/tube-nut-9mm-x-1-0-3-16-sae-fitting/ Is your front axle also a 69?

Looking good! Making fuel lines isn't all that difficult if you want to save a few bucks.

Awesome! Thanx! I got another one a few months ago...just can't stay away....lol.

Yup, that was me....I often wondered what you were doing with that...lol!

Thanx Mark! Yup, I'll need the gasket. I think the accelerator cable I have is going to work, however I will look at it a little more closely and let you know.

Craig, your carb is ready.😉 5am seemed a little early to call.😛 Fan and spacer added. I think you might need a new accelerator cable as well. Insulator gaskets?

Matt, Do you sell just the male pigtail for the hazard switch? As in this picture?
