Just picked up this new toy

[trans man]

I'm not surprised, people don't do anything for free anymore. 

[fabr]

I didn't either. It was just part of the cost I charged for. Pretty foolish IMO of the shop owner to not want that profit.

Are you waiting on the machine work?

[chaos6.7]

Sorry im taking so damn long. The machine shop is high quality and low price but he takes forever... i have been taking advantage of the free time away from the motor and i have been refinishing the frame. Any opinions on that spray on duplicolor or rustolium truck bed lining? Its cheaper than roll on rhinolining and its more uv friendly than pur15.
Also i need front brakes. I don't even have drums so i may just as well buy a caliper kit since the scrap yards around here want at the least $120 a side. Any kits to reccommend? The only ones i've checked out so far is mofoco. Tell me if you need to see pictures and ill go take some.

I know i haven't been posting but trust me that i am still keeping busy.

I don't know anything about aftermarket front brakes, go to samba.com. There maybe some people on there that will know.

[chaos6.7]

Its cool. I found a set of disc brakes for a kingpin front end for 250. Still waiting for the machine work but im about to clean up another motor as a quick fix.

Sounds good.

Did you get it up and running? Are you still waiting your engine case?

[chaos6.7]

Second motor seems to be more trouble than it would be worth, (needs a complete rebuild...) so im just trying to light a fire under my machine shop guys ass. But on the bright side from that beetle i got a complete ball joint front end and from the torsion bar back is good too. So when i am so inclined i can build another. Or a manx or something like that's.

[trans man]

Sound good, Hopefully you can have your new engine running before the snow starts flying.

[chaos6.7]

I don't have my hopes up for that, but i guess that's why god invented snow chains.

Are you still waiting? The snow will be here snow.

[chaos6.7]

At this rate the snow will have melted by the time he gets it done. I am not gonna stress it. I can't afford anyone else.
I have been re doing the breaks and needed to know if a break balancer would be worth the money? I figured for this application it wouldn't be worth the cash.
