Too bad those little Allisons (now RR) are so blasted expensive. They are great turbines for smaller single engine craft!

 

[Bajakid1450]

I know right it’s like 25 goblins for one engine

 

[Rttoys]

You would fit well in my neighborhood

 

[Bajakid1450]

Just got some 5052-H38 aluminum alloy sheet metal for front skid plate, It does not really bend it has a very very high tensile strength I got a 4’x4’ sheet for $50 to help protect the goblin from speed bumps and potholes

That’s interesting Color(s)

 

[Bajakid1450]

I know right it was something I did as a paint years ago and it turned out better than I expected and for everything powder coated only cost me $600

 

[Rttoys]

****. That’s not bad at all.

Pretty sure these seats are calling your name, The backs match your frame!

PRISMA BUCKET SEAT MEDIUM

The second best looking bucket seat available, hands down. The Prisma offers unmatched style, comfort, and innovation with things like our double layer FRP, 5 point harness compatibility, and black mix color backing. Wrapped in Alcantara, and insulated with hand-picked mixed-density foam while...

I’d love to get those but I’m needing some heavy duty waterproof seats since I’m gonna be driving it a lot

I had bride version of those seats back in 2010 loved the color but the suede wears out after about a year of driving

I’m having the hardest time getting these radiator hoses ran through the chassis. I used a whole bottle of tire wet and even used a ratchet strap can’t get the hoses more than a foot before letting go and having to do it again

Put the hose in a box with a heater, and/or heat your shop up. Warm hose = flexible hose.

 

[Bajakid1450]

I’ll have to try that this upcoming weekend I was trying to get it done today and start getting the engine and suspension next weekend

Post an image of the tire wet bottle so I can see the brand.

 

[Bajakid1450]

nobody in my area had “tire wet” in stock ended up using Lexus rubber lubricant/ tire shine. Just got one in with a full bottle and a ratchet strap time to do the other that might be the issue tho not being the actual tire wet

 

[Bajakid1450]

Nevermind after 2.5 hours I got both of them through. Geez I thought I was gonna break them when installing those hoses !!!

Tie wet is a silicone base lube and is about ten times slicker than tire shine which I think is soapy waster.
