raggmann Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Sorry guys, been off here a while. Short story-my g/f of 10 years walked out on me early last June. No biggy, spent the summer replacing my garage and ridin' my new to me Kawaski Vulcan Anyway, here's a shot of the shop. it's 24' x 24', 10' ceiling, 9' hight x 16' wide o/head door, and 10' wide lean-to's: Yes, that's my 3/4 ton Dodge 4x4 Club Cab with a 4" lift and 35" tires on the left under the lean-to. It gives an idea of the size of the shop Finally pulled the Datsun in the other night. I cut the rockers out and still need to clean up a few other things. After "she" left I mentioned on here I was gonna either sell it or haul it to the crusher but figured maybe I should at least drive it a bit before I decide. I probably won't drive it ths summer but it gives me something to do in the shop YES, this is the same truck I posted a year or two back that had peeling green paint with HOTT pink underneath Here's the bike I bought when "she" left, bikes are babe magnets 1 Quote Link to comment

raggmann Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 KC, believe it or not that thing sat in a farmyard for 19 years, I brought it home, freed up the carb, gave it a drink of fresh gas & a battery and it fired right up. It blows a bunch of blue from dried out valve seals but wtf. I AM planning on driving it eventually. I was a little down last June but things are GREAT for me now so no crusher for this one. I WILL probably sell it in the next year or so though. Quote Link to comment
raggmann Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I think it'll look even better once the door logo's are on. Keep an eye out for those :) Quote Link to comment

I AM planning on driving it eventually. uhh The story of every datto truck What oil are you running? 15w45 slowed my valve seal leakage a good bit. I had a van a while back with a 5.0 and it smoked like a bitch on startup. Ran some stuff called "Gunk stop smokin" and it never smoked again. I really need to do the seals on my 620. Really need to rebuild it for the hell of it. Quote Link to comment

KC Phirus Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 datto first, woman later. spray that logo yet? Quote Link to comment
raggmann Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Chalked one side last night. I've eluding to the logo but haven't said what it is for fear of someone else "using" it. NEIDABIGGER (maybe a flaming piston here) GARAGE BOTHA,AB Or should I use the Ratsun logo instead of the piston? Quote Link to comment

Wouldn't be very original, seen it on several. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 You can use the ratsun logo. Wouldn't be very original, seen it on several. Neither are flaming pistons... Either way, Im new around here, but welcome back. Always glad to see someone come back to the game. Sweet shop you got there, wish I wasnt in an apartment with no workspace. Quote Link to comment
