giddyap 1,569 #1 Posted July 31, 2021 I'm done, I sold my last custom WH in a matter of days after it was completed. I have no regrets that it is gone, I am free. Well not really free because I still have a C-165, IH 100, my custom wheel stander and a Z turn. But I was only fooling myself because I gave a low ball bid on a 520H roller. I never thought it would be accepted and now I am back in the game as fast as I quit. 7 1 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now that I failed to stop playing with heavy metal I must proceed at a slower pace. 1 hour ago, ebinmaine said: I'll set over here and see what you pop up with. My project began the first day of the big show but I need to finish the ground work before I know I can make it happen. I was a little premature posting but it will only be a couple of days for my first pictures. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

giddyap 1,569 #7 Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) Here is one picture of my project, but I don't like where it is going. PUNT I picked the 520H roller from the sales manager for Pyramyd Air an online retailer of air guns with it's business based across town from me. His personal inventory was impressive and he advised me on my second purchase. Short of help, he tried to get me to apply for a job. I friend offered an 8 speed in exchange for the hydro unit which I immediated agreed. He gave me a complete tractor of unknown condition. I then gave away everything I didn't need and in the process made a new friend when he found his free engine was in good working order. My cutting wheel was put to good use and the building started but with a fuzzy vision which takes us back to the first sentence. Still clean a week after washing, my 2012 black Pathfinder will never get waxed again. Ceramic is the only finish I will use.

giddyap 1,569 #8 Posted August 1, 2021 I'm posting these photos to show how I added 10" to the midsection of a 310-8 frame. But I'm taken it apart for repurpose in a new direction. The small frame slot goes into the footrest bar while fitting inside the large frame. The axel cradle pin goes into a 3"x 6" angle plate to tie the sections together. Just putting this out there and yes it's heavy. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wait a minute. your truck is black. Black attracts dust. Don't you usually have to wash a black vehicle 10 minutes after you put the wash pail away???

c-series don 8,707 #10 Posted August 2, 2021 Was that originally a 520-8 speed? I’m noticing the heavy duty front spindles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The "thick" layer of wax holds the dust. the ceramic finish bonds with the paint and the dust cannot stick. Is glass smooth? only after RainX is applied Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
