Kx125 clutch cover

This is the clutch cover and water pump that I powdercoated for Phil. 

1980 Cm400a

A while back I purchased a 1980 cm400a. Yet again it is without title. No problem, a few bills later and I have one. I had originally intended to get my wife on a motorcycle. Since this is an automatic I will hopefully get her to try riding. I have pretty big plans for this little guy. It does run after extensive carb rebuilding. The wheels are powdercoated in an off white texture. I'm still in the process of deciding what exact direction I will take this. I did hammer knee dent into the tank. Ill take pics of that later.

Powdercoating Update

This is one of the plastic 55gal drums Adam brought me. This works very well at keeping the dust at a minimum.

I did a few more little items as well as a transmission brace for my dd civic. I found this old rusted out Honda Motorcycle wrench. It came out great. Ill probably keep it on the 550.

My 92 Mustang Notchback (sold)

 I built a ridiculously ill 92 Mustang. Not the type you put down when they break a leg, but of the notch back variety. I sold it a few years ago to a young black man who claimed to be a preacher. He paid me in singles fives and tens. In that order. It was a lot of money to count.

 The entire suspension was done with polyurethane Bushings.

 Shot of the Lakewood Bullet Proof Bell housing and Tremec TKO transmission.

 Had my rear girdle. This was before I powdercoated. Everything was two step paint.

 I welded these control arms myself.

 I made this rear seat delete and intalled all the amps and whatnot.

 I also made this truck neat as hell.

 That MDF was cust and finished by me.

 Vortec Renegade Supercharger.

 Custom electronics box, made out of metal, by yet again me.

 The jegs MAXBOX was only made for a short period of time. It was a super nice upper intake manifold.

Everything on this car, was done by me. In my home garage. The car put down just under 500 horses and was good for an easy 10 second 1/4 mile. It popped the front wheels off the ground at the track with slicks.

This Past Summer (Random Pics that I found)

 The "Whale Back" Trevorton PA.

 

Rest In Peace Molly. You were the best dog ever!

James, Michael, and Myself riding to a Gun & Supply Shop.

 Stopped By Grandpa's Grave. (I tend to do this a few times a year.) Also the grave of my Great Grandparents.

 Freemansburg Hill Climb with the gang. My cousin Mike off the the left looks like an Indian guy with 3 arms.

 My black light ink still glows after 6 years.

On the way back from Orlando to my Parents House near Jacksonville. I found a perfect opportunity to "selfie" in a fucking disgusting truck stop mirror. Is that Lot Lizzard Juice or just Dirty Water residue... we may never know.

Riding 10/20/13

Adam, Danielle (girlfriend), and Phil. Unfortunately I was the photographer so no me in the shots.

Cummins 24v Cerakoted high-flow manifold.

This is Adams Dodge. The old manifold cracked (like they do) so he ordered up a 3 piece ported mani. It's supposed to allow expansion to prevent future cracks. He got it home and immediately wanted to have it coated. A local coater wanted a lot of money for the job. After a breif discussion Adam ordered up a tester of the air dry Cerakote. This started the whole powder-coat/oven debacle. For this project we only needed to gas-out or "out-gas" the unit. We threw it on my grille and monitored the temp via infrared gun. I should mention that before all this Adam picked up a bag of 90grit aluminum oxide media, and after cleaning all the glass bead out of my blast cabinet we had a perfect setup for future coating, whatever that may be. We hanged it and adam sprayed the product. It's been two weeks and the Cerakote is holding up amazing.

Type 1 Diabetes

A while back, I seemingly spiraled out of control. I don't like to mix blogs, but since Lost Boy Creations is a part of me, my personal demons and hurdles may as well be known. I have a very small Blog about my T1D. I rarely get a chance to update it. I am far more interested in LBC. I wrote this passage a long time ago, but its really important to note how distressing, aggravating, and emotional a disease can be. Especially an autoimmune disease.

Powder-Coat Oven (do it myself)

I had Adam (my friend) drop off two 55 gallon drums yesterday. I used one to turn into a powder spray booth. I am now fitting oven heating elements into that old smoker and will insulate the entire thing. This should make for a much better oven with a good amount of usable space. Updates, and Pics to follow...

New RAL color that I got.

This is a river blue and I like it a lot.

New Powder Gun = Great Success

I ordered a new powder gun online. It's the company that used to produce the Craftsman powder gun. It is identical to it. I was trying to coat a magnesium clutch cover with the Harbor Freight powder gun system and it kept curing, well, just wrong.

Here's a before:

With the new gun and the same powder it finished exactly how I wanted it. Very nice:

Powdercoating via an old smoker, a toaster oven, and some harbor freight tools. Came out good.

Threshold - Staring at the Sun.

Its been a while since I posted any music. I dig this, even though the singer looks like Robin Williams.
