Guest Rob J Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Here are some photo's on the before and afters of some of the parts I've been reconditioning off of the 65 Riv Gran Sport. I've painstakingly washed, bead blasted, and painted these parts, as well as re-chromed the original dual quad Super Wildcat air cleaner. Progress is a bit slow, but I'm taking my time to do it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest u571 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Ahh yes,shiny new engine parts...kinda makes you proud to be an american!ha ha! I have been detailing and repainting the engine and engine compartment for several weeks now and probobly have over 70 hours into it and not quite finished yet.You really get a sense or pride and achievement when you pop the hood.My biggest peeve is that the p.o had the brake master redone and it looks like a 80's set up so more wasted money and time trying to find a rebuilt stock original unit for my '63.send us a pic when you get it all together as I will.Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
