Ball is now rolling...

Th GT is gone and the wheels have been set in motion, the case is in transit and as far as I know the engine parts are being compiled. Yesterday I drilled out the engine mount rubbers on the SprintV case in prep for soda blasting, it was a lot more challenging than the first time when the rubber was more like shaped hard foam rubber and I had to cut the shaft out with an angle grinder. Clauss Studio engine mounts are on order. I hope to have two new running engines by the end of the month, depending on time wasted waiting on postage.

  1. Start making a list of all of the crap you are going to need ot build up a set of cases. Don't forget the little stuff, like the rear brake hardware, loose ball bearings, the kickstart buffers, the list is long. There's nothing more annoying that going back to the online shop over and over again, just to get that one more bit that got forgotten. There's also a few good tricks and tools involved in the process. Its anything but quick and easy. But, I am sure that you will tackle it with enjoyment.
