Been working on this beast a little here and there lately... coming along!

Datsun SBC V8

Started to tear down the stock L18 in the Datsun to get the engine bay and transmission tunnel ready to stuff a 350 V8 into...   Have alot of work ahead... but the goal is to do a burnout before winter...

Some of the damage from when the truck was stolen....

Weekend Work

Blasted out some stuff this weekend... Finished up a set of wheel spacers for a buddys Ironhead Chopper.  Got all the last bits of the KZ750 twin 1-2 intake manifolds sorted and they are ready to put in the store.

Wrenched on the shovelhead some more... Did some more timing tuning and carb tuning on it.  Still need to change to a hotter plug and maybe go down a size on the main jet... After that it should be ready to rip all summer... Hopefully it makes it to the winter so i can tear it down proper...

I also got the bmw r60 into the studio and got some great shots of it... Stay tuned for the photo set when its finished...

Oxford Massachusetts Swap Meet

Finished the spacer i needed for the idler gear assembly this weekend... Took it up to Oxford Mass for the swap meet.  It rode much smoother but i still have a stumble when the throttle is first cracked... Once its at speed though it way smoother than before...

I also finally got the 350 thats going into the datsun out of the back of the van...

Datsun Is back

They found the datsun abandoned in the woods... Tow truck driver said it took them 3 hours to dig the truck out from a ravine...

Got to look at it in the dark at the towing company.. front end is pretty damaged, and i didnt try to see if i could get it running...

Stolen In Providence RI

Some fucking degenerate stole my 74 Datsun 620 from Providence, RI last week.  They broke into the car and hot wired it early in the morning last Sunday.  Keep a lookout for the truck wherever you are.

If anyone hears or sees anything please let me know asap.

If the thief is reading this:

Revenge will come as hot as the devils dick.

New Seats on Rusty Bikes

Wanted to take a few photos of one of my seats on a bike, so the only xs frame i have that isnt cut up is this rusty swamp bike.

Also got some time to do a valve adjustment on the 620 ... Running like a top again for the rest of the season... 

Progress

Finally got time to get some projects finished in between summer rides and trips...

 Finally got the disc brakes installed and bled on the datsun 620... Stops 10x better now, but a few small issues to sort out...

Finally finished mounting the sissy bar, seat, tank and making a new brake stay for this cool xs 650 hardtail.  Got room for another bike now... haha...

Xs 650 Rigid

Spent a few hours mounting this little fender stay/sissy bar... few more items to take care of and this will be back to its owner...   Love the proportions on this bike... solid...

I also blew out the brakes on my 74 Datsun 620... Got a proper upgrade kit to discs... but wheels wont fit without a spacer of some kind now... nothing is easy.

Fresh Meats - 74 Datsun 620

Got my new shoes on today!  Thing is ready to rip...

Shop Truck

Spent some time this past week doing more maintenance on the new truck...also had to do some stuff that isnt maintenance... like lowering it 2".  Still need to lower the front some more and make a license plate mount and get some other crap taken care of... Thing is running top tho...

 

Just a few randos for inspiration today.  Getting in the shop all weekend... Finally getting some projects moving...
