Got my ankle bracelet off a couple weeks ago, so I can at least ride my bicycle to town and get a pack of reds..:laugh:

Good bud, thanks for asking.:thumbsup:

 

[buckeye]

Shined up some rims today. They were pretty nasty but, I think they turned out pretty decent.

Still doing a lot of 5 gallon bucket thinkin and no workin.:laugh:

Thanks for lookin.:thumbsup:

[chipper]

[mrpat]

Those cleaned up rather nicely Tom! Looking good sir.

 

[chatten63]

Those rim rings cleaned up pretty dang nice. Nothing wrong with bucket thinking. I do that and then find myself either staring into space or coming up with a another dumb idea that might work

 

[cruhr1]

Those chrome rings came out great!

 

[owend]

Trim rings look nice Tom.. who did them for you!!

Looking awesome buck. Remember no rupp part is cheap. Good luck. :thumbsup:

 

[buckeye]

Thanks man..not going original.
This is a restomod..:laugh:
Chipper, not so thanks..:laugh:

To paint or not to paint, that is the question..it looks better in person, I promise. Pretty shiny. And needs steels wooled yet.
What ya cha thunk? Paint it or leave it.
That ugly muffler and carb are going away.
That flywheel is going away, I think..

 

[Harleys Papa]

I would give it a good cleaning and if your not happy with the look then paint it :thumbsup:

 

[chipper]

Yep clean her up a bit and see !

 

[Dr. Shop Teacher]

Tom, leave it aluminum. Steel wool and about 2 hours (less if you use a Dremel and 320 grit pad) and you'll have it looking really shiny. Comet Karts has "old style" billet flywheels for $50. The rest of Quas-Animal came from Turk Bros. and e-bay. You're gonna need a new cam, the plastic one is iffy, at best. I have a Delray tank on the shelf if you need one.

Thanks for replys.
Shine it up it will be.
Yep, internals to be done yet.
Walbro knock off carb and intake.
Tank, yes I need a tank!!

And if I am not mistaken the rod from a stock Animal can handle high rpm's, right?
