Re: 62 K20 Fixer-Upper
Well, I am very near completion. I got the new tires mounted after cleaning and painting the rims, finally got the brakes working, and was able to do a little driving around town! However, there are more parts coming for the turn signals, parking brake, and a kit to rebuild the steering gear. Also on the schedule is to regear the diffs. to improve the fuel mileage.
Oh what a feeling to have reached this point! I am very happy with it! |

Re: 62 K20 Fixer-Upper
Looks great on the pizza cutters! The color looks great in pics too, not a common one to see but not out of place either.

Re: 62 K20 Fixer-Upper
Pizza cutters, that's good! I like the tall skinny look, but was still worried that the tires I got would be too skinny for my taste, but I like em'. I agonized for a long time about what color to use, and it's funny that the perfect color was discovered on my daughters' bike.
Thanks for the compliments! Brad |
