New tools...

Well I needed to order some new tools specific to working on older Triumph motorcycles. I ordered these 3 from my friends at Lowbrow Custom.


1) Clutch Hub Puller Tool

2) Clutch Plate Locking Tool

Crankshaft Pinion 3 Jaw Puller Tool

Unfortunately they were out of the 4th tool I needed.

Cam Gear Puller Factory Tool

I found this one on eBay.

The reason I need these tools is because after talking to a few people I have come to the conclusion that I need to update my intake cam to a 750 camshaft. So I need to split the cases to do so. This will be a good experience since I have a 78 Triumph that also needs to be rebuilt from the sludge trap up.



More to come...

New clock...

Yeah it's not much, but it is a clock for my '55 Ford sedan I've been slowly collecting parts for. Right now it's in my friends backyard. Now that I almost have a kick ass garage workshop I can bring it to my house

Oh yeah, it's 4:20 somewhere HAHAHA!

My frame made it to VA!

If you follow my blog you know that I cut my frame up

to send to my friend Clay at Atom Bomb Custom Motorcycles

He is going to make it like this

Yummy!!!

Some more new garage stuff (continued)

So I posted a pic the other day of 14 bags of concrete and a mixer we rented.  Well, this is what it was for.

 Open area in back of the garage

  Making sure the form is squared.

 Form built.

Tamping the ground to be sure it's level.

 Rebar for strength.

 Drilling into the garage foundation to connect with the outside concrete.

 Rebar installed into the garage foundation.

Concrete poured. This was after the first mixer broke. When Lisa got home they went back to Home Depot to get another mixer.

 Smoothing the concrete.

Concrete almost completely smoothed out

Done! It's a pad to put my new air compressor on so it is outside and
a) not taking up room in the garage and
b) so it doesn't make noise in the garage.
Ben and I will be building a "house" for the compressor soon.

Some more new garage stuff

More a little later :)

Garage again...

So we cleaned out the garage and pulled the carpet up. Wes came by today and stripped the carpet glue off the floor and laid the stain seal. I had it done in a light gray. With the lights on you can already see it's brighter.

Lisa and I went to Lowes today to look at paint swatches. We're going with a semi-gloss that is scrub-able and resists staining. This is a garage but it is also my home away from home. :)

Here's my pics from today.
