Re: 51' 3100 build in PA New to Site

8-1-17

nothing crazy but some progress. Got front clip off. For one, I want to recoat some things under here, 2. will make it easier working on suspension, 3. I wanted to put different heads on engine (not doing this year) so that is why I decide to take the clip off. and.....all the bolts were rusted, I had to cut most of them. Word to the wise, buy stainless bolts when you can. That is the route I'll be taking. These were brand new nuts and bolts and they were a waste of money after 6yrs of driving.

got bag cups started. need to clean them up and get my bolt welded on the top cup.

tore the fuel tank and exhaust out. Redoing all that and will be recoating this frame. Most of my problem was using the thinner silver chassis saver and coating the frame when it wasn't warm enough years ago. It held up considering the elements I put it through, but its time for some thicker chassis saver and a top coat of enamel.
