oh sorry about that. i forgot that i had changed my viewing options to private after i had someone that felt it was neccessary to criticize my videos instead of just not watch them. i fixed it so you guys can view it now.

hey guys. i havent been on here in a while. i have been busy trying to finish up some projects. i just thought i would post an update on the radio flyer. i took it out for its first test drive yesterday and all went well. now im just trying to decide if i want to put baffles in the exhaust or leave ...

here are a couple more shots. one is the wagon coming back from its first test drive, the other is the engine as it looks now. i dont know how i want to paint the scoop yet. maybe body color with some gold leaf? and suggestions? http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn167/moto1353/f53198f9.jpg http://i...

hey guys. well i finally have another update! i have been cruising my station wagon around the neigborhood trying to get the carb dialed in. so far no major problems. i do need to have another pulley made though. i think i underdrove the blower too much, im not getting much boost under load. but thi...

Hey Jeff, I use a chop saw and angle grinder with a cut off wheel for my cuts. There are better tools. But it's all I have now. As for buying your metal, I go to a local metal scraper. They sell old scrap for $1 a pound. And they also sell new metal. That's where I got all my square tubing. $30 buck...

Here is a link to what I have done to it since I've had it. http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=40597 You can also pick up a copy of "americas coolest station wagons" a book by cartech that has an article pn my wagon. And here are the latest pics I took last weekend with my sweptlin...

Here are some pictures of the scoop that I made for it

Yeah, I went without a manual clutch, one less thing to try and figure out how to fit on this thing. As far as speed goes, the faster the better! I have two different front sprockets on the was so I can play around with gearing, and if I don't think it's fast enough, I can always get their 140cc eng...

You will sit at the back, and I am going to put the pedals outside of the wagon with pads to rest your feet. The engine is a lifan 125cc that is basically a knockoff of the old honda mini trail engines.

well i just wanted to share one of my other projects that i have been working on. its a 10 h.p. radio flyer with a 4 speed semi automatic. this has been a fun project and has given me a chance to do a bunch of welding. i made the frame, (which was a fun lesson in keeping things "square" when you wel...

just a thought. you dont have to do this, but this is what i did on my truck. its a replacement voltage regulator that is solid state, rather than the stock "points" style. my local autozone even had it in stock. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/1965-Dodge-D100-1-2-ton-P-U-2WD/Voltage-Regulato...

fired it up today, so far so good. its going to need some tuning of course.

I've seen those aussiespeed kits. I wanted to buy one, but they still arnt selling complete kits. I'm going to try to fire mine up tomorrow. For now I stole the carb off my swepty and ran some regular fuel line. It will be all braided eventually. I just want to fire it up and make sure the belt stay...
