Glad to see this project is still going! Excellent work on the foot holds!

I would be careful with purple power or other strong substances in an ultrasonic when cleaning aluminum. They can eat away aluminum pretty quickly and do more harm than good. I'd recommend Simple Green Aircraft & Precision Cleaner, diluted 3:1 with distilled water.

Johnson's Paste Wax works really well as a release agent.

P80 makes various water-based assembly style lubricants. What makes most of their products unique is that they dry and no longer lubricate at that point. I've spec'd out their P80 Thix for lubricating O-rings that are in permanent deformation scenarios, where I want the O-ring lubricated for...

Would it be possible to post a pic of your sanding block?

Who makes that tank? Looking spiffy!

@Balduccimoto or @RutlandRacing were doing them I think.

We have that exact same jeep. Was free at the end of a neighbor's driveway. I snatched it up and then put a jet ski battery in it. My kids love it and it's still going strong. Way cheaper than buying a new one!

In my professional career as an engineer, I consider red loctite only suitable for use on parts that will be deemed scrap if they are disassembled.

Happy birthday BK!

When I started defoaming my SN, the majority of my foam was bone dry... until I got to about the level of the driveshaft tube. Turns out both of my intake grate front inserts were leaky and the foam all around that area was soaking wet. Also, any tray floor I've ever witnessed removed from the...

That head pipe looks amazing.

Really cool project. I would recommend putting PFDs on your kids though....

FYI that's a 650 chamber.

Definitely reinforce the entire hull. Especially the seat hinge area after what happened to the last chicken. Can't wait to see the progress.

So sad to hear. I never met him personally but learned a lot from his posts.

For the pump shoe, Is it the the fork part bottoming out, or the thicker part that meets up with the pump? As for the ride plate mount, you could make a new one with the two hull mounting holes in front of the ride plate bolt to shorten the mount away from the cable holder. Something like this:

Dude, love the mud flaps. I still can't get over the license plate> It's so hilarious and perfect at the same time. So pitted...
