    Good question,,,,I ordered a Guzzi V50 frame yesterday,,I perve on 1/2 scale hotrod bodies quite often,but I shudder when I look at what the Gov gives me to live on V's what I "waste" on toys,,,,MMMM ? , lets just say, I'll settle for howling bench mounted V8 powered margarita blender, until Mr Lotto gives me the nod,,

    So why have you gone for the 19" rear wheel? Where are you going to get the spokes?

    In Qld, hot rod rules are very easy to work with for pre-47 models: it just has to look like a model of car that made before 1947. I don't know if that means you could shrink a design a bit, but you can have modern engine, suspension, brakes, etc and no crash testing or emissions testing requirements. This makes building a hot rod cheap and easy compared to an individually constructed vehicle. I'm not sure what the Chrysler PT cruiser is based on but maybe a cheap starting point?

    So interested to know how you are going to drive the camshaft on the second bank without a clutch?

    Only because I am a total numpty and must have clicked on the wrong one.... :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
    Not entirely sure what to do now as the order has already shipped.... Total and utter Brain Fart that was...
    Thanks for pointing it out @Murdo, at least I know now and can figure something out... better now than when they arrive.

    Sounds fantastic, as much as I find 2 strokes totally annoying, expensive and inefficient I also love them.. and miss having one,,,,,,,,still find it difficult to believe they even run

    We had a yz125 running in the shop yesterday - the sound makes you want one to wring its neck! Or something like the TM racing 85 in a full-size frame: feels like you are really racing without going so fast!

    I'd lost track of your progress, you're a lot further along than the last post I'd seen

    Here's a really interesting take on a similar project - courtesy of Mr Millyard

    Kiffsta, good to see another 70s Suzuki two stroke brought back from the brink. Happy new year mate.

    Finally got around to re-doing all the wiring etc on my Wet Blaster. Now there is an Isolation (main) switch. It is mounted on the main electrical cabinet that houses the 12v dc power source. there is a switch that allows me to turn on the 130cfm Bilge pump fan to vent the cabinet and 2 LED light banks. I may need to upgrade the lights yet.. I will see how it goes.
    Everything is mounted and has been run tested... just need to finish running the conduit and tidying it all up.. loading up the new beads and giving it another run.

    Hey andy, how did you go with the smaller nozzle ????
    also for lighting i used the cheap ebay waterproof 6 inch light bars, i got 3 in my cabinet, works a treat.

    Still waiting for it to turn up. They are most very sorry for the 45 day delivery time and have refunded the $1.50 postage as a gesture
    I have 2 x 36w led light bars about 6 inches long. Might throw in another 2 depending on how it goes.
    I will hopefully run it tomorrow.

    What, so you can see the job through the steel?! That sounds like a lot of light! They may be a little focused in one direction, are you going to use a difuser lens, like an opaque white plastic panel?
