If it was me, I would probably go with whichever engine is easier to work on. repainting is always easier than rebuilding an engine

We need some updates hotrodricky I want to see this completed.

Do you mind me asking what the center line radius of your die is? I have a Hossfeld bender, and I may try making some of those frames. I like them.

Thanks

 

[hotrodricky]

The die I use for the fork tubes has a 3" radius and the frame die a 3.5 radius.

Looks great

The frame is being powder coated so I decided to paint the tank and a few parts. I'm using 2 colors white and blue for the basecoat then clear.

What doesn't Rich do? Probably makes his own beer, sews his own pants, hammers his own shoes, and probably makes some mean BBQ too!

The paint looks great Rich. Your over abundance of skills makes me feel like a rank amateur! Nice work!

I screw up to, the reason the number plate is not in the final picture is because fell on the floor while applying the clearcoat. I tried to fix it and things went from bad to worse. After several repair attempts it I ended up a blue chia pet.

nice work on the port job.watching closely,I have quite a few saw engines I would like to do that to,but don't think I got the right tools and skill to attempt

 

[hotrodricky]

The motor and most of the parts are completed.

Looks nice, we need more pics.

 

[hotrodricky]

I just completed the rough fit on the jack shaft, clutch and drive. I used the stock saw crank and fabricated the drive sprocket.

 

[CarPlayLB]

Damn Rich! That is awesome! I am really diggin' the engineering here. A lot of things going on that are very simple in their approach. I am amazed! All this stuff is so cool...it's like your cheatin'!:thumbsup:
