Looks great. Wish I had known you were going to do one though. I have one I'd have sold you quite cheap.

I needed a project anyway. The fab bug was biting and it gave me an excuse to finally buy another die for the bender. I gotta get this thing rolling so I can get the barracuda back in and put the axles in and finish it up before it gets warm.

Does it have something holding it vertical other than the friction on the two bolts?

Yes it looks like it belongs there. Very well designed look. Now that you have a nice light bar,why not put an electric actuator on it so you can adjust it on the fly?

wellll then how about this one   https://www.firgelliauto.com/products/high-speed-actuator

Lots of options there to suit your needs. Other places as well. I would suggest that whatever you choose, it has an IP54 or better rating.

Rat shit!


Pulled the tins off the old 1600 and I'm really glad this thing was drive-able when I got it or I would have cooked the motor since there was no airflow around the cylinders or heads.

It took two hours in a respirator with a screw driver and a dental pick to clean the shit of all the nook and crannies!

I want to replace the cooling shroud and I'm wondering if there is any performance advantage over the dog house style shroud vs. the baja style shroud? I have a remote oil cooler so I don't see a need for the dog house and I like the baja better aesthetically, but I don't want to sacrifice cooling efficiency. Whats the consensus?

I have no real experience of how effecient the baja style is but I can tell you this much,retaining all the tinwork and not reducing any cooling capacity is a good thing if running in summer heat. Of course the tinwork is usually the first thing to go since it's ugly and will trap mud/wet sand like a mofo which is not good at all of course.
