87 K5 Build...Hmmm, whats that Ryoken up to? stay tuned...

well, it ain't no run of the mill rig.... I'd venture to say, unique.... ;)


Oh for sure man, I was just givin ya a little $hit. I want that airpan and cowl hood setup so bad man, you might inspire me to go further into how you say "broke ness" :thumb:
 
Your vid was like watching bread rise.LOL
Cool to see how you make molds for intake system.:waytogo:
Talk about time consuming,no wonder it take so long to do what your doing...the end result is beyond what any normal guy could do!

Very cool!:bow:
 
thanks :) eh, that dam thing was a spur of the moment 5 minute hack job... sat there scratching my head, how am I gonna do this? wood, sheetmeta? fockit, oaktag! :haha: got the job done....

sometimes it's daunting, looking at how much ya have to do... but I try to look at it as steps, processes and dry times... this'll be a big "check off" on the list of custom pieces...

I'm getting there....

tomorrow I'll longboard that out and glass the curved section...
 
yup, that whole piece of foam is probably 1/2 a pound.. if that...
 
I bet if I fill the remaining hollow frame area, it would be close.. at least semi buoyant..


well, ran out of resin today, so I'll pick back up on this tuesday... hmmmm, what to work on tomorrow?
 
tanks for asking sir... :D

alright, got a few things done this week in the dungeon. but my fubar-d back and the boats are not playing nicely this week... work, curl in ball, work, rinse, repeat...

anxious for the weekend tho, with any luck I can have the hood ready for primer come sunday, back or no back..
 
No problem Paul... I thought that might be the problem "back"

Now suck it up and get back to work!:D




Just f##k`n with you man, sucks to have a sh#ty back...been there.:eek1:
 
it's been about a yr now, I'll have to get it looked at at some point... it's getting worse not better... throw in a ton of not back friendly drive installing, bilge work and it's a twitchin wreck... that's one thing about my job, it's about as far from "light duty" as it gets, no rest for the crippled....

anyway, no whining... also got the floor ready for Herc this week, so I'm trying to be somewhat diligent.... hopefully I can do a nice parts order with tomorrows paycheck too...
 
figures..... went to order my new rad, gonna have to modify my fan shroud a bit for the new rad.. sizing is slightly different...
