Another Project ARCO #2

[Str8axle]

Nice Arco project! I have a 5hp Honda on mine, and it moves my 210lb *ss pretty good!!
I'm in the same boat as you guys, cant get motivated on my 55 Chevy. Just wanna play with mini bikes at the moment. Looking forward to seeing more pix of this!! Nice job!!!

TOM good eye !
I'd have to put a small block chevy in a frame thats a set of trips I did for my 36
did them during the winter just can't get motivated on it
Stuck on doing the minis right now

Yeah I had a set of deuces that came off a 58 chev. Had the original blocked off base plates on the front and back carbs. I did it "high school", bored it out to 301, full race cam and headers with a powerslide. Stuck it into a 65 elcamino. Man I loved to hear em open up.

does "lear Jet", or reverb ring a bell? don't get rid of the lights. You listen to WLS at night? Long time ago.

A 20.00 grinder from HF and a wire wheel.
Have five more to do but can't see giving them to a blaster to do!
You got to know when to walk away when it seems it won't get done!
GOOD LUCK
FRANK

Thanks for the tip, I went and bought one. Now I am trying to find a decent compressor! I bought Kobalt 30 Gallon and it is absolute crap! I am returning it today and buying Campell Hausenfield 60 gallon. The grinding I did complete is turning out nice as yours.

BTW, how are you going to paint yours?

I spray Bomb them but I think the next one I'm going to have to bring out the spray gun!
I can't find the color in a spray can !
Although I think the paint guy can put a color in a spray can for ya going to have to investigate it further

arco exhaust

nice job on the bike...I trust that is a custom exhaust. If not, can you tell me where you got it.

:thumbsup:

 

[wheels1950]

I did make the exhaust and it's pretty quite compared to the western flyer I built for my grandson It had a trumpet exhaust and it is loud!
Compare the two
Thanks FRANK

Update

Worked on the ARCO today and got most of it finished up
Just a couple of minor stuff to do and it's done!
Then its for sale !
Why U say ?
I don't have enough room for done minis and want to start on another one!
I guess I'm a glutten for punishment!
I can honestly say that it's very relaxing.
Thanks for checkin in out!!
