One of us needs to do a youtube walk thru on how to post pictures ! O wait that's been done . You fella's need to get that crap figured out. I mean we just like to SEE the progress . I mean I can do a real good job of describing a pretty girl, but I'm sure you would rather look at her yourself . . . Poke . . Lol . 1 Quote Link to comment

tr8er Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Painting a picture with words is an undervalued skill in this thread. Leave the imagination to do the light duty, while prose and diction form the foundation and cornerstones. 4 Quote Link to comment

gene knight Posted July 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Hope to post some pics and do some measurements for new brake lines for the new M/C and proportioning valve 1 Quote Link to comment
gene knight Posted July 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 well me and charlie69 did some measurements on sunday for running brake lines from new M/C, but I got injured at work Saturday I heard a pop at my left rib section, had to go to concentra for xrays was there 5 1/2 hours before I was finally seen, talk about slow service, well today I had a followup, no broken bones but there is some trauma and they think pulled muscles around ribs, light duty and rehab for a few weeks or longer. 4 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Gene you have to place the cursor with a left click in your post before right clicking to paste. I always hit the enter key twice to leave a blank line between text and pictures or picture and picture. This is easier on the eyes than having no separation between them. Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Gene Internet explore (IE) is buggy at best. That is why I use FireFox. I am happy to see it working for you. Now post all your pictures and take more. Oh and please no more selfies this is a build thread. Quote Link to comment
gene knight Posted July 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Me and Charlie went to a junkyard in Wittman, AZ and snagged brake lines from 3 different 620 trucks so we can use on Grimace now that I have installed disc brakes and a dual brake master cylinder, now just have to bench bleed the M/C and then at all 4 wheels plus dial in the proportioning valve for the rear brakes 2 Quote Link to comment
gene knight Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 me and Charlie got the new 620 dual master cylinder bench bleed and now I need to install it on grimace and bleed brakes and hopefully be done with them but I will need to work on the proportioning valve adjustment after I I get it to paint shop for final body work and paint then put everything back together and drive it to see if I need to decrease/increase pressure at prop. valve 2 Quote Link to comment

gene knight Posted August 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 hoping to get the brakes bleed soon before I get it to the paintshop beginning at the first days of next month so I can have it ready for the Williams trip in October, right now I'm off cuz of my OJI I had at work. so who's up for spending some time helping with grimace before I go to Fontana in 17 days and my days off after I get done with OJI therapy is going to be Monday/Tuesday until 1st week of October 2 Quote Link to comment

gene knight Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Bought a new starter, it does not have a thick casing/housing as a oem starter does, installed it, bought at checkers/oreillys for $30 comes with a limited lifetime warranty. #16203 part number, it fits a L series motor for a 510, 521, 620 1 Quote Link to comment
