I kind of like the idea of waiting until we get to FL because once I get going on the engine, I'll want to quickly see it's rebuild through. I have that rear rod that needs to be re-bushed Because its several thou over in spec. Have to decide whether I'll just go ahead and get some S&S fly wheels and rods maybe in a 100" stroker kit. Or just go with the stock factory rods and wheels and concentrate on the over-all Bobber build? Decisions, decisions.
The wife and I did manage to get that Storage unit for a great deal and its the best thing I ever did. Typical storage units cost upwards $150/month in a size capable of storing the contents of a 2000 sq. ft. home but through these folks I got it for $85 a month and it will be paid off in a year unless I pay it off sooner, then I own the container. I'm already considering making either a guest house or massive shop out of it by adding maybe another 40'and possibly a 20' or two, ah well just fantasies for now, we'll see.
Pretty cool what some people do with these things though, you can weld a bunch together, cut in door ways and windows, drywall the inside and install electricity, propane or solar. Some people have made gorgeous homes out of them and some have made shops or studios out of them. Mine came with some ocean grade plywood flooring inside that looks like its oil impregnated, so its durable and moisture/rot resistant. Heavy duty steel door with lock box makes it secure and safe.
Anyways, back to the bike. I'm still trying to organize the garage here in TX. We moved here in a rush so things were not packed quite like they should have been and I would need to repack most everything we brought plus everything we've acquired while living here in TX these last 4 years. All these dilemmas. If I can get some semblance of order I might have a spot to assemble a work bench and proceed to building the motor, if not, it'll have to wait til we hit FL.
Keep in tune and I'll keep ya informed. *cheers*
