Chaotic - PM sent

kcornell - not at UoA yet, doing my generals at the CC here for now. I did graduate from UTI a few years ago though, you ASU guys know how to party that's for sure. I was hoping to sell the whole front end as one piece like in the picture, the fender is trash but it's good rubber. Let me know what you're looking for and I'll let ya know.

If you ever make it down to Tucson, we've gotta cruise the Lemonn, it's just as much fun as the Tortilla Flats run.

Made some more progress today.

Case halves are finally split, time to start the best part of motor building...cleanup





Got all the chopping on the frame done as well. Next step is to take a grinder and smooth everything out even with the tubes. Cut a bit too deep into the tubes and neck in some spots, but I'll fill them in with a small welder and smooth it out down the road.

Some, but not anything tangible yet. The frame went off earlier this week for a super secret skunkworks project, it'll be a good month and a half before you see what it is, but it's worth it. Might be an update or two between now and then, but unlikely. I'll probably do a mega update around Christmas time when I have the frame, wheels, and a few other things.

In the meantime, anybody here willing to or know of someone who can powdercoat carb bodies? Oh and I need a solid reference for a really good plating company for small parts, everbody around here does industrial PC and plating and won't have the same attention to detail I need for this.
