    Recent Mods & Repairs

    Nice job on the can holders. I've been wanting to put some on mine . I would be more worried about damaging them when i'm offroading than getting hit by a car. I ripped one can up already on a big tree branch. and it seems i kill the mud flaps on the sides of the deep holes i go though. Even...

    Diesel engine from MEP-006A in a deuce??

    umm if it runs counter clockwise you will have a top speed going backwards of 56 mph and about 5mph going forward so it wont work for you like you want ,sorry .Sounds good on paper but the deuce and most all us built cars and trucks run clockwise rotation.

    flipping the center-sections in riveted wheels

    Nice job so far. i would probably use the trailer as a trueing jig .You can spin the the wheels easier without turning the axles and spider gears.Also you will only have to jack up one tire that way. Are the riveted wheels the same diameter all the way from bead to bead ?would it be possible...
