You can have it for $10. With all my projects around the house, it has been hard to focus. I am liquidating everything to focus on the one. Only way I can beat my ADD is to get rid of the temptation to work on other shit. That and the adderall.

Does it run? Link me to pics?

malichite · « **Reply #302 on:** July 20, 2010, 08:29:15 PM »

No engine or trans, no interior. Seats dont go with it.

PhilStubbs · « **Reply #303 on:** July 20, 2010, 09:30:48 PM »

$10 is a hell of a deal

Joseph Davis · « **Reply #304 on:** July 20, 2010, 11:08:06 PM »

If I catch a Greyhound out there, do you have a sawzall so I can Flintstone that shit home?

malichite · « **Reply #305 on:** July 20, 2010, 11:42:24 PM »

I got a motor and trans in the garage for it. Runs more then good enough to get you home with a few stops for some sluts along the way.

how much are you trying to sell the del slow for? Price after you yank motor?

malichite · « **Reply #307 on:** July 21, 2010, 12:27:59 AM »

Not sure. Would be no motor, trans, and the Wheels would come off it. I would throw in some 16 rotas though. I dont know, few hundred.

narfdanarf · « **Reply #308 on:** July 21, 2010, 12:44:28 AM »

Where the gangsters aim sideways... Just like LA

Rod ends, bungs, and DOM showed up. I wasn't sure what size rod ends to get and I was to lazy to measure, so my dumb ass went to google and did a search for heim joint size and ended up on a thread on HnT talking about how they all used 5/8 heims. Well, they look way big but what ever. I made them work and it is probably one of the most stout traction bars out their. 5/8 heims and 1 1/4 .095 DOM. Got the bottom bracket done for one side. Still need to make the other side and weld the tabs on the front cross member for them. Either way, this project is moving forward again.

Well hello Mr. Fancy Pants.

crxvtec91 · « **Reply #315 on:** July 28, 2010, 04:15:45 PM »

How much did that run you?

malichite · « **Reply #316 on:** July 28, 2010, 04:16:37 PM »

$60ish if I remember correct. 2 joints and the weld in bungs were $25 shipped and the DOM wasn't much either. Steel for the lower brackets was free scrap shit from my garage. I may end up making another set for the front of the car later. Will see how they work out.

*edit*

Shit, also forgot the $25 for the grade 8 bolts, washers, nylocks and shit.

Nice, glad to see some progress.

Do you have an updated list of stuff you need?

Still want to work on this with you. Maybe next year I'll take more time off to come up and help.

How is the motor situation?

Did you get rest of the sheet metal in yet (rear engine bay)?

Test fit the fuel tank yet?

malichite · « **Reply #319 on:** July 28, 2010, 08:03:44 PM »

As of now list is about the same. Havn't picked up the tank from the guy yet. Just been busy. Will get that this week. Sheet metal not done but not a lot left to do. Once I have the suspension 100% I will move on to that. At the moment, motor situation is the same kind of. Taking the Del Sol to a local meet on Saturday and that will be it's last drive from me. Engine comes out next week and sounds like Snarf may want it. Been seeing low numbers in 2 holes and really low numbers in another so head is coming off the ZC and I will be finding the issue. Have a new set of rings incase it needs it and ready to get a new block if necessary. Eitherway, for the time being I know the front will work. That is obvious. ZC is getting fixed and will be going in the back for the time being and I am going to get it up and running on the rear engine. That should get me chubbed up pretty good and help carry my motivation through to build a second matching ZC for the front

For the time being also, I have an old beer keg that I am not using. I didn't have any where to put it so I threw it in the front of the car. Fits like a charm so it may get cut open, baffled, mounted and used for a fuel tank for now until engine #2 is complete. As always, anybody that wants to help is more then welcome. It is always nice having someone else around, even if it is just someone to bullshit with while I am working on it to keep me going. Shoot me a PM, give me a ring, I will get the beer. Lets do this!

malichite · « **Reply #320 on:** August 13, 2010, 04:02:31 PM »

Well, just got back from a long vacation with the fam, and I took a few days off for my own vacation. Just finished up the traction bars. Need to head down to get some more gas and I am going to starrt on finishing up the sheet metal.

92CXyD · « **Reply #321 on:** August 13, 2010, 04:08:02 PM »

Sweet I hope your getting some help with this to keep the motivation flowing. :yes: ;D

malichite · « **Reply #322 on:** August 13, 2010, 07:51:12 PM »

Anybody around here got a good Mig and willing to come over with it for a little while? No flux core bull shit either. I'll provide the gas, wire, pizza, fried chicken, purple drink and or beer. My HF mig is on it's last leg and it is pissing me off.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #323 on:** August 13, 2010, 08:47:14 PM »

You jackass, I have two you can borrow. Hit me up!

narfdanarf · « **Reply #324 on:** August 13, 2010, 11:56:04 PM »

Down to help with this again sometime. PS where'd you get those rod ends for the traction bars, I am gonna have to make some one off's to fit my car with the weird/shitty positioning of the downpipe.

ratcityrex · « **Reply #325 on:** August 14, 2010, 12:44:06 AM »

Speedway motors for the rod ends

They had free shipping and came with the weld in bungs for the DOM tube. Came out a lot cheaper then speedway.

When can I come up to pick up a machine AJ? Narf, I wll be working on it after work everyday this week and probably do a bunch next weekend. You are welcome over any time.

Eggylshatch · « **Reply #328 on:** September 01, 2010, 03:23:00 PM »

Will those traction bars allow proper suspension travel? It seems like it would pull the wheel/arm backwards on extension and push it forward on compression? I don't even know how traction bars are supposed to work anyway, so I'm probably just being a tard

malichite · « **Reply #329 on:** September 01, 2010, 04:57:21 PM »

They may slightly but the up and down travel is so minimum that it shouldn't be to bad.
