summer contest build DRAGULA

[turch]

I am building my dream machine that is on the top of my bucket list. It is a 94/ 95/ 96 Vmax 4 that I'm building for asphalt racing. I have been working on this for 2 and a half years as time and money permits. It is a running joke when I talk about the race track with my friends as they say " Sure it'll be on the race track this year" lol

I have spent a lot of time experimenting and learning the proper procedures for polishing cast aluminum. 90 % of all cast parts on my sled are being polished, the rest are being powder coated in candy purple and black. The sled is completely disassembled and I have a few more parts that need to be powder coated and polished.

Sent the crank out and found out today it needs a complete overhaul so it should be done in about a week. The picture of the motor is just the shell, it isn't built yet.

I also received my custom headbolts that came from Chicago. The head bolts I will be using are for a custom motorcycle and you will see them when the motor gets built. I will be picking up some more parts that I had custom made in the US shortly. So I will add more pics as we start getting parts and putting it together.

Hope you enjoy.

WOW! Amazing man very nice. I'm in process of polishing my tunnel on my srx. Any tips or secrets you'd want to share in the polishing? I can't wait to see finished pics

 

[turch]

99srxracer as far as the tunnel goes, once you have the paint stripped off take 0000 steel wool and rub till your arm falls off, then put a buffing wheel on a drill and some aluminum polish and have at her.
Good luck with your tunnel.

Mothers mag & aluminum polish works great for stuff like that!

 

[turch]

Well I'm still waiting on my crank to be done. I thought I would throw up a picture of the custom head bolts I'll be using.

 

[TopGunnSrx]

That is gonna be one purty machine.....nice combo

Turch- I have faith you are going to finish this beauty but think you are going to keep it in your living room! I know it's not going to be used on the grass! Those head bolts are really cool!

 

[turch]

I am out on this one, good luck to all you guys.
