Took my rig to Moab so I
could meet up with a buddy and ride motorcycles. My 60 carried my bike on the back without an issue. Moab was completely slammed with tourist.
What did you do with your 60 this weekend? (1 Viewer)

Boy that would've been nice. Turned out I needed a new valve cover gasket and the bolt grommets. Had to pay $85 for them altogether at Appleway because I was in a pinch. I was NOT a happy camper about that. Kicking my ass because I should've expected to need them but it didn't hit me until I had everything apart.

Yeah thats my dad
Had some help on the 60 this weekend from @landcrusher909 and even got my kids to come out a few times
Fixed a stuck Vacuum advance and helped with alittle tuning, fixed the alternator and Got the 70 series 3rd members in the 60 this weekend, with alittle work, also got seats and new center consol bolted back in and ready to go.
Even threw some extra paint at it to cover up all the fade more proper paint job will come in time
I stayed home all weekend. Sunday was gridlocked from 10 AM to 3. I hope you didn't get stuck in that situation.
Nope, I have played that game before and we bailed early am. We had our share of good riding.
Refreshed a ton of little bits on the Cruiser this past week. Starting with the fender vents:

After:
I picked those up from Classic Cruisers, as well as the D-pillar vents. Theirs were in great shape, but I still threw on some fresh paint. Way happy with the finished result!

And the biggest move this week, was picking up some factory rims, cleaning them up with some Chemical Guys chrome polish, and slapping them on with some skinnies.
Super happy with how they cleaned up!
Pretty dang close to where I want her, visually.

You can bypass with an inline 30A fuse if it keeps tripping. Mind would trip on high and I tried another with the same result. Bypassed a couple years ago.
Just some small projects in advance of a trip to Mojave this weekend. new washer cap, installed my CB antenna, and just started packing up for the trip.
A co-worker 3D printed me a sweet radio face plate and support bracket for my 60. Currently have some issues with the sound “clipping” I believe, but I believe it’s due to weak grounds or the fact that I still use the factory “shared ground” for the alpine type S door speakers. Sound is fine at lower volume but gets staticy and poppy when turned up. Any ideas?
Edit: figured it out. It was the common ground.

Got the outer side of my "new" upper lift gate primed (after taking it down to bare metal and using an acid treatment on it to catch any invisible rust that I missed). Had to do a little hammer/dolly work to get it straightened out, and did a little body filler (which I'm not good at!) to sort out a few imperfections. It's coming together nicely. If I can get a little time, the plan is to do the interior side tomorrow, and do some sanding on my "new" tailgate. Lots of good stuff going on, and learning something new every day.

What was your fix? Add an additional ground to the deck?
what type of dirtbike carrier are you using? I have a Honda XR650l I'd like to take around on a carrier but sorta scared about the weight
The deck has its own ground in the harness, and the speakers share another ground. Removing the shared speaker ground and only grounding one of the speakers fixed it. I don’t know how, but it did.

Machined some new rear panels out of 1/8"hardboard. Now to test fit with the new 3-point retractor cover panels, trim to suit and re-upholster with the original vinyl and carpet.
This is the start.

I had the same issue, same resolution. Attempting to split ground left and right separately is no bueno, ground only one channel unless replacing factory wire with new speaker wire.

Good gosh man!! Bravo for getting rid of it all! Did you delete the items using those or figure out a cleaner setup?
