New World Datsuns...

I would suspect that it was all body color and the primer happened during a previous repair.

Hopefully I won't need to get that serious. Once my pickup is done I don't foresee any projects of that magnitude. A drivetrain swap in the Cutlass, then maybe the cabover 4X4 I'd like to build. Nothing beyond that, just puttering on little things.

it's not as big as it it looks. I used the wide angle setting to get more in the shot. I'm already feeling a bit cramped looking at the space knowing how much random crap is still coming, and imagining trying to work in there. I need to get some warehouse racking for the corner where the engines are...

Pretty ambitious undertaking. Going back original colors?

Well, enough screwing around. I got a couple ridiculous bids to wire this place so I'm just going to do it myself. My buddy's dad is a recently retired electrical inspector so I'm sure he'll keep me from doing anything stupid or dangerous. I know I said I wasn't going to move in until it was done bu...

The GMC developed a gremlin. It would randomly lose Vref for the TPS and EGR. I couldn't seem to find the exact break point in the harness so I just ran another parallel wire and tapped both ends of the circuit. Then put it to work. https://i.postimg.cc/qMpg3pBH/20200918-112725.jpg https://i.postimg...

50 mile taco run and lunch at the river.

The GMC got a tune-up and an oil change. I also welded up a rattling cat heatshield. My dad is going to put a few more miles on it and get tires ordered up.

That motorcycle has a wide tire.

That sucks. Hopefully they bounce back.

Wasted most of my Sunday on this. I've been sharing this sprayer with my dad for the last year or so and it's been awkward on the best of days. We've both tried various methods mounting it on our 4wheelers with disappointing results. Finally decided to just build a trailer for it. Everything except ...

Saturday was supposed to be an easy day-ride. We got a late start but Marc managed to whittle down his load to around 60 pounds. We rode pretty hard from Poison Creek stage stop over to Spanish Charly, then headed to the horse traps. Between 2 tire pump-ups, a few water breaks, and having to reconfi...

Next morning we broke camp and waited for the sun to dry out our gear and warm our bones. Stopped at one of the mines on the way out. Not exactly sure what the car is (1940 Buick?) but it used to run a winch to the mine. https://i.postimg.cc/sgLkgPGm/20200828-105546.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/4y4L5nhn...

I had a buddy in town last week that wanted to do some riding. We decided to do some desert riding then camp on the edge of Silver City. My overnight pack (actually 3 days worth)... https://i.postimg.cc/RFRMb4bM/20200827-111619.jpg His overnight pack... https://i.postimg.cc/nVSxsdyw/20200827-111647....

Random tranny links? You may need to try that other forum.

Did a 95 mile day ride last week on the other side of the lake. Lots of different terrain and not another living soul out there. There were sections of our route where nobody had been in months, as evidenced by the fully grown and dead standing thistles blocking the trails. https://i.postimg.cc/NMPM...

What's the rush? It's only been 4 years.

Planning to do a day ride later this week and the white bike has a petcock leak. I decided I'd just ride the blue one, it runs better anyway. Then I remembered that it still has the trailside fix 18" tube in the rear so I swapped it out with the correct 14" tube. https://i.postimg.cc/RFjTYgsG/202008...

The early small journal stuff was a little different. Most had a draft tube and a vented oil fill cap. In fact, the only reason this has PCV is because it is a California model. Originally it had an A.I.R. system too. Draft tube was replaced with a vent tube just behind and curving around the distri...

Replaced the turn signal switch and cleaned up some unused wiring under the dash and hood. Pressure washed the underside and washed it. It's been years since it last saw some soap and water. https://i.postimg.cc/XqNCfqVF/20200817-155348.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/pdDh3zrz/20200817-155212.jpg https://i...
