Just finished my bike...ready for summer now....soooooooooooo ready...
Yall take care now ya hear...God Bless

Got the front springs replaced on my ole 52 customline with no further issues....took the drivers door panel off and removed the door glass....it had developed a small crack in it...probably from me pulling on the  glass or i accidentally touched it with something metal...either way it is cracked...not an easy task for me either but will have a  new one in a few days and will put it back in....I also hooked up the electric choke so it would start better...i rebuilt a 351 Windsor engine and coupled it with a Ford C6 tranny...it is all the engine this ole car needs for sure ...runs like a dream though and plenty of power..especially when I am pulling my Tear Drop camper...what a great looking combination....here is a pic...the trophy on top is the first place trophy i won at a local car show last summer in the special interest category..yall take care now ya here...God Bless...  

Replaceing the front springs on my old 1952 Ford Customline....WHAT A JOB MAN...whew....got one on one side off today...rest is going to be easy now that I know how everything goes...take care and God Bless....the K.O.M.

Finished my motorcycle/utility trailer project 4.5 ft by 8 ft bed.

New Project - Trailer

I am making a flatbed trailer out of an old 60's era boat trailer a friend gave me. Below are two pics of it. First one is before I started with all the boat railing off of it. The second one is after I had shortened the tounge by three feet and painted. Updates will follow as I progress. This will not  take long.

SHAKEDOWN RUN

Shake down run of Bike project - NOV 17. 2012
Finally got all the little parts back on bike and decided to take it for a short shakedown run...It runs and rides great...just a couple of minor adjustments and I am ready to cruise this coming summer.
When I rode it yesterday I realized I did not have the rear brakes adjusted correctly and subsequently I had not rear brakes.. Thru using the front brakes and downshifting I had no problems coming to a stop though. The fairing shakes so I have to brace it up some more. Don't know if it was like that before I bought it but I don't think it will survive long bouncing up and down so much. Otherwise it all seemed to work good. I only went about five miles and started and stop several times on the way.
My next ride will be at least 50 miles. Maybe I will do that today since the tempts are supposed to be close to sixty. Wish me luck.
Yall have a good day now...ya hear...Gob Bless

Update on Bike as of Nov. 16, 2012 - So I bit the bullet and removed the carbs again. I had ordered new jets for both carbs and replace them. I also added a spring on top of the sliders to help with the idling issue I have had. When these carbs first came out, the Bing CV carbs, they did not come with this spring. The sliders work on vacuum and they depend on a good vacuum to return them to the idle position. In later years BMW added these springs to correct the fact that the right amount of vacuum was not always the same especially after the sliders ware a little. Anyway I replaced all the jets and added these springs and the reinstalled the carbs. Wow what a difference. It starts and idles great now. I was tempted the buy new carbs until I found out the cost of them. They are over five hundred bucks each. So I just rebuilt the ones I have for a cost of less than two hundred for both. A huge savings and it runs like a BMW should now. Going to ride it this weekend end if all works out ok and weather permitting. Yall have a good day now. Ya hear. God Bless.
