Rebuilding a 1979 Yamaha G1 golf cart ..gas 2 stroke ,oil injected ......was in  the tall grass behind a barn

Rebuilding an 30-06. Springfield 1903-A3 back to military specs.

My first car was a '68 Camaro 

Love the car project Eric!!!!

Mine was a 69'.

My first car was a 67 Pontiac GTO ... really miss that car
Reminds me of the days when life was a lot simpler ...
Gas wasn't of a concern when shopping for a vehicle

Great projects going this winter, lets try to keep photos of the progress

   yeah,,,,  I rememeber those days.     .25 cents / gallon        Service station employees would wash windows, check oil / air etc...     And  they gave you a free  glass for a fill-up.

First order of 2oz came in and look guuud. I expect the to have the 3, 4, 5, 6 oz molds later in the year.

I hope to offer these to guys again this year before GS7. Everyone seemed to like them last year before I ran out.
Possible a hand-made, hand-poured multi-colored swimbait/curly tail grub design specifically for the heads.

Mike I have been looking for your jig heads for months now! I got one at GS6 and LOVE it please let me know when I can order some from you. GREAT work!

Chris

Chris, glad you liked them man, it was great to see how well they went over for those who got some. I plan not to run out this year.

Once I have a complete order (400+) of the 2oz, I'll put it up on classifieds about a month or so out from GS7. Like I said, I'm working on a custom curly tail/swimbait to accompany.

I got to use some of these new 2oz'rs this year and I caught some PB rc and cabs.
I also found that dipping them into 2part epoxy (Harbor Freight) made these suckers almost nuke proof.

Thanks for the support Chris!

Mike sounds good! I will be looking for them!

***UPDATE***
Engine has problems ,,cracked jug,, scars on  piston,,bad bearings,,...pulled it down..Time for a total rebuild..I did not want this but looks like a BIG BORE golf cart is on the way....I will have the fastest cart in the HOOD with the least investment....Big piston,, re-jet carb ,,a few other little things ,

I'm working on converting a 6x10 Cargo Trailer into a Mini-Camper.  I've just about finished installing insulation, and we are going to give it a test run this weekend at crabfest before I go any further with the project.  But next up will be to install a window, DC and AC wiring, Bed/Table, Kitchen, Entertainment Center, and Flooring.  So, got a bit of work still to do 

VERY cool! Please post pics and do a big post on how your conversion of the trailer is going. My hubby is thinking about doing the same thing, and so seeing how yours does (and how much work it is) will give us a better idea if we should attempt the same thing

This winter (or sping now?) I want to build a stationary kayak rak! I need to start serching the posts for ideas.....
My thought is that it should hold 4 kayaks, but we have three types, so it needs to be "universal". I think I will also put rolling wheels on it (or, not so stationary then) just so we can wheel it out of the garage when needed.

My biggest fear is that black widows will find a way into the kayaks..we don't have cockpit covers (maybe I could sew some of those?).

I'm no fan of spiders, even though I live in the mountains and have a LOT of spiders    But I never worry about black widows, because their web is so easy to spot.  It's usually very chaotic, messy, and easy for me to spot.  Then comes the shop vac! 

Here are some models of the trailer inside design i've been working on:

Update on the Datsun Project;
 Got all the engine parts back from the machine shop and the assembly looks good so far.
A few more parts to add, but engine is basically ready to install.
Next is the Transmission, no major problems, but want to replace all seals and basicially give it the once over.
