Are you trying to go land speed racing at Bonneville? 😁 That gearing should be good for 100mph.

36hp?

I think it has a 3.88 with an .082 in it now..  and with the small tires on it..   I was hoping to be able to do 80 on the highway😎😎😎😎😎😎.  And about 3000rpm👍🏻

Been outside since I cleared it, still looking good… no wash’s either👎👎👎👎👎👎.

I wish I had more motivation to work on this rig.   I gotta get the trans out and serviced.  Blaine is slowly putting me a case together…  I need to work on the bumpers too… it’s the logical next project for me to get done.

No stale projects!  😎😎. Do work!!!!  Then do some more!

ok.. time to stop being lazy…   I gotta get this trans out of my bus so I can get Eddie to take it back to Painters with him…. Opportunity is knocking here.. 😎   Just what I need to get me rolling again… It’s hard to work on personal shit…  It’s harder to get back going once I stop too…  😎   If I just start doing something everyday, I will be driving this rig in no time, just like my last project… 😎 😎 😎

Tore the trans down this morning..  it did not have a super diff in it… surprised..  axles and fulcrums looked good…  the fluid STUNK…  I bet I have some bearing failures in there…  I’m gonna set this project aside till I have everything to put it back together mechanically….  I have a whole engine to build and a trans to get back also..  and no real dead line for this…  its been a GREAT free air BnB for visitors….  and can continue to be!!!!😁😁😁😁.  Especially now that it’s not hot out..😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

Eddie already rebuilt my shit box!!!  Bearings were all worn out!!!  He said I must drive it alot… 😎 😎 😎 😎 😎 😎 😎

This time we went 3.88 with an .082!  That should get us down the interstate with lower rpm’s..

I need to figure out how to get ahold of OMAR to pick it up for me at Painters this weekend…

It had a tag on it that said “2 liter”, but other than that I have no clue! We had it running, but it needed some more love

I noticed it has 10mm studs and no deep 3…  8-(  Humm..  I probably better just take it all apart….  I don’t like lotttery shit in my road warrior busses!! 😎  Send the case over to painters..

I’m getting enough stuff built up I want to take to painters, I’m about ready to just drive over there and make the delivery myself!!!  😎  There’s a type 4 over there and a type1 engine about done… I have plenty to do this summer… if I want… 😎

Look how this rust that’s never been sandblasted always comes back!  Now, this is leaving it outside everyday since the weekend I cleared it like a year ago!

Epoxy sealer will hold that shit down for along time..  I bet it went quick this time cause the rust is getting direct sunlight????
