I'm back with another big block, doubler, one ton build.

[brokenparts]

Dragged the work trailer home tonight. Moving cruiser 1 to its new home on Sunday. Finally get to start the project although the new home is going to take bit of work itself (friends barn with a gravel floor) before I can start hacking the body off.

Also picked up a Lincoln 210 mp today. Looks like a great welder for my needs.

Got the cruiser moved and picked LOTS of sawzall blades. I'm hoping to start cutting on it soon.

Well the spring work and one ton swap is done, but I think you've got some body work ahead of you

What's the plan? Run without a roof or replace the body or what?

I bought another cruiser that has a good body and frame. I'm hoping the frame is ok on this one so I don't have to any major fab work but something tells me that it is tweaked.

The passenger slider looks salvageable.

Been in lurk mode for a few years, been back at pretty hard lately though. It's good to see some of the old faces still around. Cheers!

lol... not really. I had some time to look at things a bit more and it doesnt look like the frame is great either. Pretty sure I'm just going to move these parts over to my donor cruiser and not the other way around. This means a bit more fabrication for some of the parts but not too bad.

Anyone ever file for a lost title and gone through that process?

What have you been up too?

 

[brokenparts]

Hey Mike.... I'd love another set of eyes on this thing. I know this weekend isnt good but maybe in the next week or two I can get you out?

Building airplanes, working on the house, surfing yadda yadda ya... currently working on dragging my ass to GSMTR no matter what in a really s***ty 40 series, should be a good adventure. I need to post a thread on it but have been waiting on some more interesting progress.

Thanks esh!
