Getting ready for MLK in Tellico Whats on your list of things to do?

[Trollhole]

And I have a big list of things to do.

Both of my vehicles are down.

The 55 needs the brakes adjusted by a professional and new exhaust.
The oil pan gasket needs replaced and all the hoses have to be replaced. and gastank installed.

The 40 is looking a little better. The Aisan carb is almost back together. New manifold has been fitted. Linkage is getting worked out. I have to plumb a new fuel return line back to the gas tank.
The front spring bushings are shot and Kurt with Cruiser outfitters is sending me a new set along with some new shackles. I need to install the hose from the T-case to the Tranny. Install choke, vent, and warm pull cables.

I gotta show up at chucks in time to catch a ride to the cabin..........thats about it

although my 40 is running great and I have the itch to wheel her very bad; what do you guys think would that be a bad idea after I just spent the past couple of weeks repairing the damage from the last flop at Tellico??

 

[Trollhole]

Considering you will be riding with us and not on your own. I'd say take it for one last ride. I have never know is to heavily damage a cruiser under our wing when we went to Tellico.

 

[ClemsonCruiser]

yeah I really want to take her on a farwell tour.........

I only have to drill and extract the sheered axle studs from my right rear and then put new in so I have 4wheel drive

 

[ClemsonCruiser]

okay scratch the 40 idea........ I just looked at my tags they expired in Oct. looks like I am back to riding shotgun with the chuckster

JP shouldnt bring his 40 anywhere near tellico, last time he had it looking and running good he rolled it on trail 1. No need to relive that. Marshall I'll get you those exhaust pics when I'm home to clemson this weekend. Also do you need an oil pan gasket I think I have one in my closet. You can have it if I do I'm trying to get rid of all those gasket that came in my 55.

Thanks for the offer Richard. I've got a nice new one sitting on the rear seat.

1) If they get here in time, new OME spring in the front.
2) PC the CB mount.
3) Also if they get here in time, install 4 IPF's on the roof rack and the fuse box to power them and some other stuff.
4) Gotta change the shoes into the Swampers.

40 is running! Worked my butt of Sat from 7 to 4:30 getting everything back together. I didn't realize what it actually took to go from a Weber carb back to a stock Aisan. That was a lot of work. So assuming I can get it tuned correctly I will be driving it to Tellico. Cannot wait.

My dad and I managed to get the sheered studs out of the rear right today. I will be getting parts and reassembling sometime this week. Should be good to go!
