Is it even a Cruiser if it doesn’t rust?!?!

Hey hey hey now!

Looks really good, you going to seal the kick vents so they dont leak ? a nice bead of aluminized silicone, just enough so you can barely see it to keep water from going between the two pieces ?

You going to swap in a new rear crossmember on the frame?

 

[Chungas Revenge]

I think we’re going look at straightening it out first. That little bump came free of charge when I bought the Mule. Other than the “ripple” the frame itself is in really good condition…

Now would sure be the time to do any drivetrain related work if it needs it. Access is so much easier.

Rear axles, knuckles and radiator/plumbing are all on the punch list. Tcase, 4spd, clutch, flywheel and rear brakes were just installed the last trip to the Vet,

That 2 post is worth its weight in gear oil..

Are you going to sell pieces of the Mule?
For fans to get a piece of its soul.

Diamond Plate keychains with the @Chungas Revenge signature? Maybe a limited collectors run with Ms. Revenge’s?

 

[OlYellr]

Sweet! I can put it with my limited collectors run of Pat Buchanan for President bumper stickers.

(joking aside - cool idea)
