So close

 Fred did a few Puckett race mods on the cylinder. 
Including turn down the top half and shrink fit on some oversized fins. 



Just got the motor in and here I am blogging on this crummy laptop.

With this mega heat shield we shouldn't have any more problems with vaporizing gas.

Im going to do at least daily posts from the salt flats, but the pictures uploaded from my phone suck.    Tough shit.


Now for some research

Solid


 ...Weekend


Fun on Lien Rd.    If you are planing on riding the tracks, watch out for dem trains

 Caught a couple DPR misfits at the new (to me) Dragonfly Lounge.
Old guys missed out on the good stuff.  Had to sleep or something.



 Stopped over at the Kv's farm to visit our Chrysler 300.
 Trying to figure out how much can be saved, Motor is at the top of the list.
She is a bit in the deep




It could be worse.



My pops got some work done on the frame fixture.
Ill get a better complete photo up next weekend. 




Hummer motor is completely disassembled.
I would drop it off at Fred's on my way up,

But im a bit loaded down
First WI-MN trip of the year.

Weekends work

A successful trip into Wisconsin this weekend.
Head was removed from the Triumph to get that intake valve back on the straight and narrow.

Got a new AGM battery in the KLR, gave it a good rhomp around.

Nothing was done on the Hummer frame, only dreaming.

But some oggling was done over the stainless tubing that will be used for Bonneville Hummer frame

The decision has been made to use an old Bates scramble re-pop seat for the 441.
The Hummer motor has begun to be broken down.  A bit of rust inside.

Even re-birthed a friends guitar and got my p-bass all shielded up.
Not to mention a couple train rides, and a good amount of rest.
