My Winter Rebuild

[StrongRacing43]

Well, found a few crack's in the frame earlier in the summer, and right then I convinced myself I was going to tear it down.
Here is what I started with:

[StrongRacing43]

I would for sure!

[StrongRacing43]

Here is how the dash will mount. New one will be much smaller and better looking. This is a school assignment.

What's the benefit of molycoat?

[StrongRacing43]

Bolts will not corrode/rust.

When we ship them we usually wrap it all up, put foam/cardboard on the bottom and then wrap it again. (keep in mind this is after powdercoating)

Before coating its not really a big deal as any scratches that happen during shipping are going to be sandblasted before coating anyways....

Good luck!

[StrongRacing43]

Thanks for the imput Matt!

Gusset kit looks AWESOME!

[ohsobad_chevy]

That quad is going to be sick, man. Can't wait to see the finished product. :cool:

[StrongRacing43]

Thanks man!

Ordering plastics through Pappy this week!

[StrongRacing43]

Should be getting some better pics of powder coating today.

[400ex28]

looks like it comming along good man, i wish i could afford a 450 for this season.. o well still beatin them on the ole 416 anyways.

[StrongRacing43]

Yeah, you'll get one someday.

I'm not a welder, and couldn't do any better myself. But, you're welds look a little rough to me.

[StrongRacing43]

Well, I dint do it. My dad did.
He MIG welded it.

did the BARE kit come with good instructions as to how to place the gussets?

[StrongRacing43]

The only part that was not good was the front shock mounts. I had to get a picture from someone on how to install them.

[StrongRacing43]

Today this box went out to Pappy today for him to work some magic:
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u130/Strong_racing_43/o17.jpg

I have also decided on my 08 gear. They are the ones on the left:

[StrongRacing43]

[TheNewn]

I love those Nerfs dude, beefy *** looking heel guards.

Nice build.

[Nick110]

Looks sick Justin. How do you like the HEP fender brackets? I got some that Im waiting to put on. The stock brackets dont last me one ride.

[StrongRacing43]

They're nice, I had to rig up a custom bracket so that they would mount to Lakers.

[400exrapes]

hey strongracing the pictures of your 450r with the red plastics do you have any closeups of it i know we talked on pm's i just want to see a close up of those red ones i want to cut my fenders like that.
