Mercman Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Update on this build, I had issues with soime bubbles in the paint so decided to make it look like a project in use. I sanded out the bubbles, and primered the spots. I did this is his daily driver/ on going project, so he needs it day to day. Also someone mentioned no fenders on the trailer, so I made some from sheet aluminum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercman Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Got the seat in today along with all of the various cables, and lines. I built a battery box, but the paint is still drying on that yet. Seat belts were made from duct tape, and the padding for the rollbars is wiring insulation. The shifter boot is from a rubber fishing lure. The box in the middle contains the starter switches, and the fuel shut off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercman Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Made some new exhaust dumps from some brass. We didn't run generators, or alternators back then so I removed the kit belt, and made a new one from strip stock. Added a torque chain, and got most of the plumbing done. Here's a couple of pics for the fun of it. I see I am going to have to open the hood for air cleaner clearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
