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,,
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?
Only because I am a total numpty and must have clicked on the wrong one.... 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.
Been trying to finish my mates gt380 , alas the harness won’t be here until the new year , so injury rigged his old one up, popped some fuel in it and it fired up this is going to be a nice old thing , the chrome work is amazing
Thats bullshit ... workshop is way too clean and tidy .... I bet all u have been doing is polishing your 10mm sockets
I have 2 older guys who put **** away as soon I put it down , I swear to god I don’t even get to put it on the bench and it is cleaned and back in the box Paint is back , he asked for the brightest red possible it’s alive
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
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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
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?
