RDP'S "What are you working on?"

[Bugginout]

Thanks again. I’m having it built for my wife. It’s a 57 rag top on air ride with a 2180 View attachment 1289384

It's amazing man. Small window rag top? I thought it was a 57. That Little car will turn heads everywhere.

4 bolt mains, what block is that

Original 429 SCJ D0VE-A.
I have the D0OE-R heads that came with the block too. They were all rebuilt at Bostick. I may sell them at some point.

I figured it was a 429 SCJ. I found a 429 4 bolt in an F600 at the boneyard about 20 years ago and didn't grab it. A couple years later at the same boneyard I found a 427 tall deck in a big GMC truck, didn't grab that one either.

Bummer. These blocks are getting hard to find. The F600 fenders are also the cats meow on an F100.

Never thought about those fenders

The earlier F600's also had the 361 and 391 which had forged steel crankshafts

I bought a complete F600 just for the fenders. I think it had a 361. After removing the fenders, I quickly dumped it. Heavy bastard with a double c-frame.

Childless weekend in havasu so I’m cleaning out and organizing garage, and trailer.. you don’t realize how much shit you accumulate

Old 125 pit bike for a get around at the ranch

 

[Morehart]

Old fuel shut off was so clogged. So was the carb. New coil. The head lig

ht and tail light are awesome

 

[Motoxxxloak]

2000 ezgo txt. Day I picked it up and as it sits now. Trying to wrap up the frame prep in the next day or two. Front was in an accident when I picked it up so went down to my dads shop today and cut some of the from frame/firewall out and welded in new to make it straight again. I am raptor coating the frame and then hope to start assembly this week. Full Navitas AC upgrade, all new harnesses and wiring. New leafs, jakes long travel kit, etc etc. only thing I am reusing from the old cart is the frame and seat bases. Everything else will be new down to all the nuts and bolts.

 

[Bugginout]

Now I can get measurements for the cross member and fabricate that and pull the exhaust back off put the cross member in and put the exhaust in for good. building things can be a pain in the ass

 

[Bugginout]

For anyone interested we have a big race at Chuckawalla Nov 24-26 I believe. There are 49 small tire cars signed up already and like 30 big tire cars signed up. My car won’t be ready yet. It’s a good time. I will double check the dates and let you guys know. Track is holding a lot of power.

Converting another one.
View attachment 1276118

Slowly making progress. Work got real busy and was working weekends. Had some time this weekend. Mounted the motor, completed the 480 volt wiring, mounted the jack shaft. Need to shave the sheaves for clearance, mount alternator, modify the belt guard, reinstall the pointer, and do 12 volt wiring. Will give it a shake down test then it's going up for sale. Already have one and this one was built using my spare parts.

Isn't the actual unit but what it looked like before.

So I run into the bedroom, wife is sitting up in bed on her notebook, I grab a bottle of Astroglide and run out the front door.

You bet your ass she got up to see WTF?

Neighborhood water pressure has doubled and drip systems are paying the price.

Lube the tips as you assemble the couplings for a proper insertion and keeper nut tightening.

Making a 6 inch wheel a 4.5 inch

 

[82daytona]

4.5 now

 

[Morehart]

this thing Is fun. Just took both my kids around the block. New front and rear caliper and master cylinders. New carb. New coil. New gas shutoff valve. Just got one tire to replace.

 

[Morehart]

next project. I got the pit bike for free! Got it done to follow my kids around

 

[TPC]

Battery in the kids Rzr 200 puked and leaked acid.

Starting to think leaving the trickle charger on is the culprit even though it’s in recommended specs.
Changed it out to a Yuasa, but they are all probably the same mfg.

Get a sealed gel battery I use in my Formula racecar. You can install any direction without spilling. Just ordered a 6V one for my vintage brit bikes as well,. Acid spilling inside the tool box is no bono.

Surprised an old Brit bike can offer the more sensitive "Smart" re-charge rate required by Gel batteries. I've found that AGMs are far more forgiving and still offer the spill-proof recombinant aspects of the Gel and with the increased popularity, certainly far more economical to purchase.

Fighting a big tire...bitch is winning. Already clocked myself with a 48" tire spoon.
Stay in school kids, or at least make smarter choices

I don't envy you. When I was younger I did mobile tire service.

What type of transmissions do those use, and how strong are they stock? For numbers like that, massive power being transferred through

55psi. 10.5 tire in the rear and 28x10 in the front. He’s trying to find a race in Compton in the next couple days.

Stock Gtr trans but with billet gears, stronger clutches, and diff. It’s all enclosed in one thing. Probably why cost so much to build.

Bone stock I went 9.5@150 on mine. Sent it out recently to get built.

Most expensive car to drag race imo. It’s stupid

Billet diff cover and some gusseting that doesn't look stock. I've never seen one of these transmissions. My dreams were of Lencos, but my realities were rebuilding C6's, toploaders and Powerglides

We had an all wheel drive guy win a small tire event last year. A lot of fuckin cry babies over that one. They thought that the all wheel drive should run with the big tire guys. 55 pounds and a lot of contact patch that trans is getting abused!
