Kinda quiet. Any more progress?!?!

No 😢.  I ended up breaking the brake strap. Long story short, I think because I had painted the inside of the pulley the belt wouldnt slip when I pressed the brake/clutch so she didnt want to stop or shift. Hope I can find a few parts next week at the big show. 

 

Here is a little video I forgot to post!

Never saw that brand of tank sealer before. Anxious to see how it holds up!

 

Ive used it in the past with motorbike tanks. Its great because you can pour it right over any rust!

 Not sure, this will be my first time there. There is a time posted for a Red Square group picture.

The photo will be taken along the entry road near the concession stand.

Just set my alarm 👍

Finally got the fenders done and guess what... I got to drive it today for 2 hours! Got the carb adjusted and dialed in. Runs real nice. Fixed the brake band and put the old belt back on. Turns out the new belt is 1mm thicker and its just enough to not allow it to shift. May try to remove the paint from pully and see if that will work but for now she is drivable.

 

I had the fenders powder coated. Its a different shade of red so when in direct sunlight you can tell its off a bit. Close enough lol. 

 

Still need to weld a tab on the frame for the deck lift and get the hood finished.

Decided to browse back in the forum pages this morning to see what I might have missed.  Wow, what a thing of beauty!  Have you been able to play with it much since the last post?  @Joshn569!

[19richie66 17,531]

Sweet!

Thanks

She has mostly been a barn queen lol. I use it to give the kids rides around the yard, and run it down to the mailbox and back.  Ive been busy with other projects, but the snow will be flying soon so i plan to finish the raider up and go through my other horse this winter... Maybe even find another 😁
