Is this the bomb or what!!! I needed to be able to roll the engines over the gravel so that I could pressure wash and paint it.

That's too sweet. I need an all-terrain engine HOIST for pulling Z22s and Z24s from the U-pull.

Haha, that is awsome looking. As long as those air tires can take the load and still balance it is sweet. Nice to see it put together. I like the stickers on the side. Some great extra style!

Thanks guys. The stance is actually a bit wider than the original stance. I don't plan on putting a v8 on it, but we'll see how it does when the vg30 goes on it!
Klots is a company that makes racing oils for motorcyles, gokarts, and snowmobiles. Klotz Racing Oil I've got a bunch of stickers....even 2'x3' one on the garage door(inside). That's also where I got my KLOTZ hat. I had their stickers all over stuff when I was in school because the motorcycle shop I worked at stocked the stuff! If they made car oil, I'd have to run it!!! :) |

Definately a wider stance up front. I would have put smart wheels on all 4 corners, but unless you have need to tuck it away in a corner when loaded that's not a necessity. Being that casters aren't cheap (particularly ones with pneumatic tires) it probably kept the cost down.

I had to make a mod to the stand. If you look in the first pic, you can see the "rake" of the lower bar. The front casters were at an angle, making it hard to steer. I raised the front up 2" to level it out. Much better.

hehe... nice stand. It must be nice to be able to weld. Now all you need is a lawnmower engine on it so it is self-propelled! |

Then he would have to put a stearing wheel and a seat on it so he can sit down and stear it. I suppose he would also need stearing stuff but he could just pretend. I do think a small engine would be a cool idea.

just put a handle on the back with a lever to engauge the clutch like a push mower has. You can steer it that way and walk behind. It'll help pull you up your driveway, Mike!

I had already told Paula that I had a 6hp eng in the shed that I could put on it. Live axle drive. For steering/seating....you put a little tow behind seat with two wheels....kinda like the big two wheel mowers with the stand on thing the operator rides on. I'm not sure the 6hp would be enough to pull me up the driveway!! Nice one Bleach!! :)
I pushed it through the gravel this morning after I bolted it back together(it was apart for paint). It really needed that 2 inches!!!! Works a ton better in the rough and on the smooth!! Next will be a set of casters on the eng hoist so I can wheel it back and forth to the shed easier. But first.......I'm in the middle of mounting my Pulsar seats in my wgn!! Oh.....I just got two bumperettes and another set of 14" slots off a guy's 521 trailer for $50! Bumpers are covered with what seems to be bondo....and there's a small bit of chrome lifing up, but I think they'll clean up nicely. Anyway....back to work. Paula informed me that Bleach had some funny posts, so I took a break. |

When doesn't Bleach have some funny posts? I'd like to see that guy post some good tech info for once! Good luck mounting those Pulsar seats. ARe those the ones with the funky tracks where one side is higher than the other? I've got some Pulsar seats..... in my Pulsar! oh hardyharhar |

Yep....those be the seats!!! I heard from someone else, that they were an easy bolt in....maybe his seats are crooked. Been working on them all day...still not in. I should be able to bolt in the drivers tomorrow...then I'll drive with it for a few days and decide if I even like the seat.
Don't want to go through the grief of mounting the second one if I don't like the feel of the first!! :) |

your seats are n13(pulsar) that must be why they are crooked, or maybe you only had one shoe on when you were looking at it.
