[crushers]

the roof doen't look right at all. the first thing you look for when entering a parking lot is the tell tail white cruiser roof.
each to their own of course but i would have suggested white.
nice looking job.

Robb, I'm *really* interested in seeing pictures of that exhaust system, front to back

 

[Radd Cruisers]

Rob,

what are you using for a glow plug timer? can you explain how it will work?

tanks.

We will use a rocker switch on the dash, simple and effective.

These darn high compression engines need very little heat to start it seems.

I bumped it once just turn it over in very cold conditions and the thing started.

 

[Radd Cruisers]

Bumpers finished and painted, back bumper not bolt on properly so the pictures looks as if its too low.

I really like the look of my new stainless fasteners, much sleeker looking than the old allen heads we used before.

Just started the exhaust, should work out great.\

PTO Sandblasted and painted on custom made bumper, 1/4 inch plate bent then cut heated bent and welded to look just like the factory unit.

Is that 3" Rob?



TB

 

[Radd Cruisers]

2.5 inch, this 1HZ is not getting any hot rodding and I could not see the need for more than what we installed.

Ya, you guessed it Honda Prelude seats and they are super comfy.

My first base and the 1/8 square tube was a little tougher to work with than I thought and the light duty tube bender I purchased does .8mm to 1.2mm.

Maybe 100 wall tube would be better suited for a base seeing as it is not part of the seat belt mount.

If you noticed in the pic you will see my crewd bender made on the welding table, couple pieces of square and tube steel along with along welded on top of the table. Liberal heat on the square tube and bend away, worked out pretty good.

Youve just gotta love that Canadian in-gin-new-i-ty.
