Slammy Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Well we are finally finishing up my end of this project. Has a date this weekend to get painted and then its back to the owners house for final assembly. I didnt get as many pics as i wanted as i didnt get to do a last mockup for assembled pics but ill show a few things. Some parts are still on backorder but nothing special pic wise. Heres the vent mount and fuel line clamps i had made. Vent mount is so big cause it covers up where the three welded on bungs where. We wanted to get rid of them since we werent using them Heres the fuel line bulkheads going thru the 4 link mounts and those clamps installed. On the other side its the same thing but the stainless lines are for the air tank. Heres the rear bulkheads mounted on a tab that go to the fuel cell and air tank on the other side. And heres where the lines go to the pump itself Heres how the compressors are mounted, another one on the other side of the tank. This is just the ebrake tab and finally here it is stripped down after i cleaned everything up getting ready for paint this weekend. Quote Link to comment

slow620 Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 I have never seen MIG welds look that good before.......great to see you don't grind them before you paint as well. When they look that good the quality should be on display. Simply awesome....... Quote Link to comment

slodat Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Makes total sense to me. It's a cruiser. Nothing wrong with a stock engine in a cruiser. Quote Link to comment
