LOKI_130 0 Posted November 20, 2007 started the dismantle phase today, i'm a happy camper ! everything came apart like it was just built yesterday. no broken bolts or skin. the desingners did an excelent job with this model, as everthing was easily accesible. total time was about 3 hours to tear down and label the parts. still have some prep work on the frame to do before it goes out for sand blasting, and i'm not sure if it's worth the work to seperate the rear from the frame for this. but i think i will. ordereding all the motor parts this weekend from on of this sites sponsers, and it should only take me a few days to do the motor when they arrive. i'm not a member here yet, so can't post pics yet, but if you want to see the progress, i have some pics in my album at myspace (link deleted) thanks for all the help so far. tom Edit Non paying users are not allowed to post pictures nor post links to personal pictures sorry guys, didn't know i couldn't post a link, if you want to see them, send me a personal message, and i'll reply with the link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4xbill 2 Posted November 20, 2007 Not to harp on you, but the club dues are the best $10 "manual" you will find anywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris727 1,849 Posted November 20, 2007 I wish mine would come apart that fast. I'm working on a steering wheel now that will likely take 6hrs by the time I'm done getting it off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ketchamized 2 Posted November 21, 2007 Chris, I got my steering wheel off by using heat. I had to be careful not to melt the rubber coating. Then finished it off using a pulley puller and a piece of plywood to protect the rubber. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
