ARE U RUNNING THE STOCK 660 OR DID U GO ROTAX

 

[JoeyD23]

its a 660 right now with sheave, cdi, muzzys, intake, the basics.....but once we get done with the build and get through the SSSS it will get yanked and sent to Weller for the stroker treatment!

What up.....shes comin togeather...everything is painted (accept fiberglass) and all tins are back from powdercoat!

I was sanding 8 months worth of surface rust for a few hours yesterday. I left to go tot he Charger game and got a text message with these pictures. I have to thanks Dan, Carlos, Justin, and Bill for spending 2.5hrs finishing up the chassis for me. These guys at Magnum are truly awesome! I owe them big time for all their hard work. They knew I was spending my vacation away from my family to finish this build up and they really helped me out a lot.

So back to Magnum I go to work solo on putting her back together! If anyone feels like playing give me a shout!! I pay in beer and food!

[JoeyD23]

Thanks guys!

So today I installed the new stainless breaklines, finished wrapping and painting the headers, re installed my Muzzys. I also painted the rear drive shaft and re greased it, put the rear diff back in. I ran a new 1/2 breather / blow by line to my new Performance Breather Systems breather and mounted it. I also painted the rear seat bracket and lightbar. Tommorow I will get the suspension mounted, shocks re installed, and hopefully start getting the interior put back together....

8 months worth of surface rust should be nothing compared to the way you stroke those tubes !!! Haha hey if you need help let me know I can prob throw down some hrs Mon if needed....

 

[JoeyD23]

if you want to make the trip JR I will be throwing down!!! Just let me know, the help would be appreciated!

 

[scmo777]

Looking good Joey, Mine looks about the same all torn down to go through, new belts, clutch, and wiring. Hope all goes well.

 

[JoeyD23]

Thanks Shannon! Its been a crazy 4 days but its so much fun! I am so excited that if my wife wouldt kill me I would be at the shop right now busting out!!!!! I cant wait to get up and fire up the tunes and get to work! Dan just gave me a key to Magnum and said have at it!!! Its like a dream garage except I am not allowed to drive the Rotax's and the Hummers! LOL

 

[scmo777]

I heard that, problem is that if we all had garages like that we all would not need to have homes and we certainly would not be liked by the ladies, too much. That's probly why I'm no longer married, to many toys.
