Well I have begun the prep work for my member of the month project. The seats I took out last week, tonight I pulled and drained the gas tank.....drilled out the "floor board" the previous owner rivited in over absolutley nothing.....then JP and I pulled and ripped and sawed out the tranny hump....gonna need a new one of those after that!!! Can we say fiberglass.......As long as things go well we'll be pullin the tranny and tcase out thurs night.
For my project date I plan on doing it the 18th of February.....Let me know who can come, if that date aint good I can push it to the 25th.
What to fix......Rebuild my disk brake axle and install.....install 4 speed tranny and tcase along with a new rear main seal...if the 4 speed goes smoothly then we'll install the new floor....not sure if I'll have the tranny hump by then but that's a minor thing......If things get boring bring a grinder and I'll have some paint wheels to grind out the PO's jackass job of installing line-x crap.
I'm odering the rebuild kit for the axle friday and rear main seal if different from a 2f....need to get the tcase welded up before then(small crack).....I've got the metal for the floor.....need to buy some spools of wire so I don't use up all of JP's......need to rebuild calipers....Need to find out how much a rebuild kit is, may be cheaper and easier to use those as core's and get new rebuilt ones.....Marshall has the hookup for me on the brake lines for the front....
Things left to do....finish cutting out rot....remove front drum axle....
Things after project day...converting rear axles to disk brake....install brake booster and mastercylinder....and put on lift kit..
Once all that is complete My cruiser should be able to Rock and Roll.....may need a little fine tuning but it'll be light years beyond where it is now....all thanks to all of you fellow cruiser heads!!!!
