Not to bad. Will now load it up and take it to the sandblasters. I finished removing the fuel tanks, wiring, and brake lines. They were all bad anyway.

I am going to start taking the engine apart tomorrow to rebuild it. It ran fine, but I like to have it all new so when it goes back together it stays that way.

 

You're as bad as me. Get in and get it done. Great progress.

 

looks kinda like some i've had that got no further for YEARS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! don't fall into that !!!!.

 

Did ya get the book yet?

There ain't no turnin you back is there?

Good work.

 

Ask the people on here, I dont fall into any slow projects. I have a trailer for tomorrow and it will be at the sandblasters at 1:00 pm. I will be tearing the engine apart to take next door to magnaflux it to make sure it is good. I had it started to I am pretty sure there is no problem. I will rebuild it so I don't have to worry. Went to junk yard today and got new seats for it. I am putting air seats on both sides. I will have to figure out how to get air to them though, do they make a air pump which will run off the battery?>

 

There are several different types out there.
All the guys building the cookiecutter customs are using airbags of their suspensions.
Whats the operating pressure?
If its low enough maybe a tire pump will work with a resovior.

 

You could just mount an a/c compressor to use as your air supply for the seats if that all the air you need, Garry

 

that is a good idea. Now I will have to get some more info on that. I just need it for the seats. I could put a tank in and get a small tire compressor or put an A/C PUMP. I am going to look into that. The N850 has a compressor on it for the air brakes.

 

Hey Kevin, get a small air tank form the wrecking yard. Put a one way valve on it for filling it from the main air system. Plumb it for your air seats. A 5 gallon tank would be plenty, and the air compressor will fill it without any trouble. Then you can run a 1/4" synflex or something line to it. You can put a regulator on it, and keep it adjsuted down. They run to a max of aorund 95-120 pounds for most air seat cushions. They are similar to a suspension bag, but smaller.
