that front clip is looking beast mode. Luv the pic with all the engines in the BG, cool pic and great progress, even though it's someone else progress its still yours!

72BlckButy · 10-03-2013, 02:52 PM

Lookin' good Bryce!

**LEEVON** · 10-04-2013, 11:16 AM

Did you use CLR to rub the fender? I have been trying CLR with zero luck. Diluted, non-diluted, with and without scotch brite pads. I can't get the results I see everybody else getting.

69CST-V · 10-04-2013, 11:43 AM

LEEVON, the fender in the picture was just using straight buffing compound with a variable speed polisher and wool wheel. I used different speeds, let it dry then dry buffed. I tried different methods on other fenders but the end result was almost the same as with just the buffing compound. It was a fairly aggressive compound though.

Hope that helps.

**LEEVON** · 10-04-2013, 05:17 PM

Thanks, hadn't thought about going that route. Looking good!

**superflysteiny** · 10-15-2013, 11:27 AM

I have a 55 first series at my dads house I am thinking about building. Your trucks are really making me want one. Just wanted you to know. My wife will most likely kill me if I build it lol

My wife said that, too. Then I brought the 50 home from Dad's. She doesn't"love" it, but she's okay with it.

**superflysteiny** · 10-15-2013, 02:20 PM

Mine will divorce me. Tootsie is bleeding me out slowly

69CST-V · 10-15-2013, 02:45 PM

Eric I could just send you mine then you could build it and not get into trouble. LOL

I would totally like to see how you would Steinify it.

69CST-V · 10-15-2013, 09:22 PM

Well my ADHD has kicked in and I started a small fun project. Went and picked up a 6.5 hp harbor freight special, some chromoly tubing, stopped by the local karting shop and got some goodies. Bam the makings of a motorized #drifttrike. I saw this in hotrod magazine and thought it looked cool. Anyway should have some truck updates soon.

69CST-V · 10-15-2013, 09:25 PM

One more.

**LEEVON** · 10-16-2013, 12:20 AM

Haha you got me googling drift bikes and motorized trikes...even searching craigslist for parts, thanks alot! Keep us posted on the distraction please.

69CST-V · 10-16-2013, 12:45 AM

Look on YouTube. Here is one example.

Motorized Drift Trike Battles - YouTube

Didn't mean to side track you. I thought it was just me that always seems to find another project before I finish the last one. LOL

72BlckButy · 10-16-2013, 06:19 AM

Love the new project. Ha.

Can I ask what a going rate it for the kart wheels and tires? I've have a project on the back burner but haven't pulled the plug on the wheels and tires. Also which shop did you go to in the kc area?

xpickup · 10-16-2013, 06:39 AM

69CST-V, THAT LOOKS FUN AS HELL!!! You will have to keep posting pictures as you build it.

superflysteiny, You need to build the 55. I love to watch your builds and would love to see what you would do to an AD. Just tell the wife , boy I am going to miss you! Joking of course.

**superflysteiny** · 10-16-2013, 12:30 PM

Oh I want one of those so bad now

Nate I will find the receipt and verify but it's around $100 - 120 per wheel/tire combo depending on size and compound.

Oh and I went to Russell Karting. They had everything in stock so I paid a little more to solve my inability to wait. LOL

What's your back burner project? Motorized pedal car or something cool like that?

OrrieG · 10-16-2013, 02:46 PM

For all the guys (and girls in my kids case) that had Big Wheels. Daughters were absolutely fearless; especially on hills. I remember always replacing the wheels on them. I remember renting similar setups for the Oregon dunes in the 60's before ATV were manufactured. They only had a 4 horse briggs engine but were still fun.

99 to Life · 10-16-2013, 03:47 PM

those are hilarious, i'd love to have one too. Reminds me of go cart days as a kid. Wipe outs were plentiful.

69CST-V · 10-16-2013, 09:12 PM

Ok Nate has been working again. Sent me some pic's so I'll share. Let us know what you think.

99 to Life · 10-16-2013, 09:53 PM

looks great, obviously he designed that front xmember? I just love seeing those frame tables! and your truck of course

**oldman3** · 10-16-2013, 11:02 PM

Beautiful looking work going on, nice job...Jim

69CST-V · 10-19-2013, 12:24 PM

Ok since its my thread I will be high jacking it from time to time as I don't intend on doing a full blown Alternate Tinkering thread. Spent the last night drawing the first renderings of the Drift Trike. There has been tons of interest so I thought I would share my concept. I have a lot more but this will give you an idea of what I'm doing.
