DC - Looking hot so far - keep up the good work - I'm tuned into this thread like Late night Cinemax movies!

DC man thinner stuff is tough. Especially you being newb to the whole process. It gets to temp faster, it flows faster and it "over cures" in a hurry. No doubt you will pick it up. This is where the counter top oven comes in real handy. You can control temp better and have better end results. Looking good. I NEED MORE PICS!!!

And the powder has begun, awesome man. GET ER Done

[DeePa]

hey i found a place to powder coat stuff !!!

[tanks350x]

All the parts are looking sweet steve, I have to beg to differ with you on that personal E-Mail you sent me before saying,,I guess you could call me an ATC semi-expert.... In my oppinion, you should open your own repair shop just for trikes

Thanks bud, I was glad to be able to help you and I'll always be here or at my email

As far as "Steve's ATC shop" goes, I'll ALWAYS take care of people I feel are "good people". This isn't the best world we live in ya know....

I've been burned for thousands a few times now, but I still try to help people out that I have a gut feeling about. I'll probably get burned again, but if in the process I make a few new good friends, I'll get over it

Anyhow, Tonite was a nite off and I'm just providing a verbal update. Every single part is in my hands aside from the carburetor. I've got some really nice stuff for this machine but I'll save that for another day.

I have 5 days off now and at least half of that time looks like great weather. Tomorrow DEEPA is coming by along with my buddy Brett (he's still too scared to join 3WW ) and plans are to get a frame prepped and painted and the cases and swingarm will be coated. I have to put swinger bearings in Bretts 3fiddy and DEEPA needs to get the rest of his 250R cases prepped for PC. He was gonna get them done but we may tackle them if mine come out well. His R which is yet to be unveiled is MINT MINT MINT and unique - thats all I'll say....

If tomorrow goes well then Sunday will be bottom end assembley day and I will post a complete write up of that process with photos. The cylinder got bored today and it's ready for pick up

Thumpertalk forgot my steeel Barnett plates but they'll be here next Tuesday. I need to be about done by next weekend so I can spend at least 5 or so days jetting and getting it all broken in well. I also may have to grind down the valve guides and the top of the rocker box due to the lift of this Powroll camshaft. I bought brand new rocker arms and another set will be hard faced at a later date.

All SEEMS to be going smooth and I think I can get this done and done very well.

I also have to put a ring in my buds KX125 and rear bearings in a friends 350X along with welding his trailer up with a gas tank compartment before we go. I'm not burned out yet but some days are very tough to get through.

Should be some good pics tomorrow evening unless I have a bad PC experience !!
