Post by 79spitfire#100340 »

Rescued this gem from the crusher this week! Got a good start motor pulled and bead blasted and parts hunt has begun! She suffers from rusted crank syndrome and some jack wagon sawzalled a 8x8 hole in the pan to replace the steering post! :wall: gonna do a ground up so a replacement pan is in order, anyone have a decent hood?

I have been saving this one in case I find a Cyclone project, so far haven't found one. It's crack free, and even has a custom name. I would let it go for $25 if you are interested. I also have a nice crank, and cases out of a 76 Liquifire, if they interchange. I think they do, but I am not positive.

Thanks Johnny, I think I'll take you up on that hood. You live by cabelas hey? I have a feeling this hood just got a lot more expensive!

Yep, not to far, about 3 miles to the west. Living so close has worked out pretty well. I have sold a few large parts to buyers coming to visit Cabela's.
