So when does it get an engine?:|



I was just thinking it's missing that bit in the middle. Either that, or it will need a big-ass rear cog with a campy derailleur! :ph34r:


I'm thinking SRAM mountain parts;
The twist-grip shifters will blend in better.:D

Although Nina's not ready for paint yet, I had a quart of Hod Rod Flatz I wanted to try out. So I prepped and shot my front fender. The first go was a disaster. I followed the spec sheet exactly and added the reducer even though I thought the paint was pretty thin to begin with.

And sure enough it ran like Napoleon's army at Waterloo . . .

The next day I sanded it off and prepped it again. But before that I ran my fingernail across it and although it wasn't yet fully cured it seemed to be a tough finish. (It didn't leave a mark like regular flat black paint would.)

This time I left out the reducer and it flowed fine with no runs or sags . . .

Sweet! What kind of engine/size are you thinking about?

one of these 2 .. just because An-2 engines are not easy to find in his area :D


One of these would be economical to run:

But I think Nick was planning on a *two* cylinder powerplant;
Can you fit a second rodent in that wheel?:ph34r:

A better more powerfull solution would be to add a cat to that rodent powerplant. It'd be like a turbo!

However the cat would cause more frequent rodent replacement due to rodent over-stress, and/or cat-rodent ingestion.[:/]

Whatever... If you want high performance, you have to be willing to do the maintenance.

Probably an S&S or a stock CV with jets.

But now that I have the motor sorted I definitely must have one of these!

I love technology . . .

Damn! That works much better than my garage-door-opener, and is better looking as well.
I wonder if it has any other uses?:)
