[bigphil]

Hey guys it's been far too long since my last login .... I have some up to date pics of my 636 that will be posted later on today

[NuggetNik]

Oooo... More pics :-D

[bigphil]

apparently my photos will not upload the normal way.. not sure what the deal is.

I was having some starting issues and discovered that my starter was toast from low voltage so i have that ordered... and im looking into a chain/sprocket kit ( any suggestions on those?)

[NuggetNik]

I am not your man to ask about this I'm afraid.... You might have to spend some time doing some searching on the Forum because there will deffently be some opinions on here somewhere :-)

vortex 520 kit in 14/43 ordered from kneedraggers.com .... itll be in wednesday.... also ordered new levers air filter and the stuff to do an oil change..... mirrors should be on the way too

[bigphil]

OK guys so things kinda went crazy this past holiday and the 636 got put aside so here are some photos to show what took up my time

the wife and my ugly mug

this was at the opryland hotel at ICE! during christmas

this helped pay the billsvv


and her brother from the summer




then a little bit of snow on my charlie brown tree


then it cleared up and the 636 got a bath

note the marker lights.

after her bath I started to figure out my starting issue


and the first of many goodies set to arrive in the next few weeks


its a 14/43 520 kit by vortex

[bigphil]

the starter came in from socal salvage ( i could be mistaken on the name) but for $40 shipped i dont think i came out too bad and after cursing alot I came out with this

the little puffs of smoke of a warming up motorcycle HEHE

Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396

[bigphil]

you are correct on both accounts she hasnt seen road time in over a year and still needs a few things to be DTR


and its an SS badged as a 454 idk if thats correct or not I just put some work into it and the drop top... both are fairly amazing machines


and just to be clear I dont own either one of the chevys

[bigphil]

so I got bored and decided to install some headlights ( didnt have any when i got it)


and a few short moments later

please forgive my workplace but Its the only one i have unlimited time in and its dry


and then i located an old xentec setup i had in storage for a little bit.... i kinda dig the look

I think i may run the " hi/lo"setup due to the fact that people in my area will bright light the fuck out of you if they think your lights are too bright.

the hi/lo is what i call the hid sivlerstar combo

[bigphil]

Today I decided to install my OES frame slider setup ( no-cut sliders/bar ends/ and swingarm spools)..... I was surprised to see that they shipped out of TN.






never mind the control levers or the guts spilling out


cant wait to repaint this horribly polished frame

[bigphil]

learned today that my "pazzo style" control levers and my air filter will be in around tuesday... and my mirrors should follow shortly
