1964 Chevy Rat Rod






       Mark finished up his latest project. It started out as an engine rebuild,but what the heck might as well
do a few other things, paint, new bed sides, keg tool box and an interior redo.

This is what happens when you let your bike overheat. Among other things.

That was a bunch of carbs. This CBX had been setting a while, but a few cycles in the ultrasonic and some manual cleaning, now it runs great.

The Z1 engine rebuild turned out good and now on to the next project.

Ouch




I wonder if the sticker was put on before or after the incident.
Either way I am pretty sure it hurt.

Shop Truck




A new addition to the shop, needs some work but it will be a cool parts getter.

The past month has been very busy, not much time to post anything or take pictures. The shop is jammed full and several projects are getting close to completion.

Z1 Needs Some Love











The CB550 was completed and picked up today, so I started on this Kawasaki. I found some unexpected debris in the oil pan a while back and need to find out how bad it has been damaged.

CB550 Change of Plan




        This came to the shop a few months ago, but had some serious issues. It had been sitting since 97, but                                             the owner has decided to give it a second chance.


New tires, a good cleaning, polish the chrome, rebuild the top end and anything else it needs and it will return to the road. Batwing fairing, extended fork tubes and a king and queen seat, just like it was in the 70's.
