Project Bumble Bee Build

Well I know that it's been forever and a day since I updated this thread. Due to the WI winter and no room in my dad's heated garage for me to work on my toys, and my place not having a garage, my build is pretty much dead in the water til March. Here are some things that I bought though for a little update..

i kinda wish i would've gone with a stroker now that the motor is all back together, be a man and bring that motor in and rebuild it on the kitchen table! hehehehe
 
haha I currently have a bunch of blaster parts in my basement since my whole garage and barn are filled up with all the cars and other toys. Looks good so far man!
 
Alright I know it's been forever since an update on this. I just graduated college and now have the time to work on this thing. Here are some updates.

I'm getting so close to having it done that I can taste it. I'm down to the motor and then random odds and ends that I need yet. Can't wait.

I was using the kitchen sink as a cleaning tank on my last rebuild when my girlfriend walked in. I was expecting to get my a$$ chewed but she was cool with it. first time for everything I guess.

color scheme looks great. I really need to start a full rebuild tread on mine.
 
looks sick... hows the paint holding up?

Doing random things and getting things to fit properly there are some nicks in it, but it is a 4 wheeler thats supposed to be dirtied up anyway. I think when I start the build on my '96 I may look into getting things powder coated instead of painted.

i wanna do a bumblebee build.... but ik if i paint it it wont last long enough to enjoy... mabes whenever i get the time or money ill do 1 and get everything powdercoated
 
yea, I'm just gonna take a few pictures when it's completely done. I can always say, "this is what it used to look like"
