Our weather has been pretty good so far...knock on wood

Any one from this area planning on goin the first weekend in june for the quad races????

+1 on that

We just finished paintin the frame and it looks awesome, maybe next time ill powder coat, but im happy for now.

I took this picture at the Unadilla Pro National Atv Races at the Unadilla valley sports center in the central new york in 2007. Cant wait till this years races in June )

I wasnt even meaning to get air really lol, i went over a "jump" or spot in the trail and gased it a lil comin off and zac said i got a few inches of tire off the ground...lol...i was excited though.

Got some pics of the frame- hasnt been clear coated yet and its hard to see the pretty metallic blue in the picture as it doesnt do it justice. You cant see the pretty sparkles haha. We painted the swing arm metallic black hanging from this tree- this is also before the clear coat. MANY MORE TO COME STAY TUNED

I got some tiny air with zacs quad the other day )

Well to answer your question we knew when we bought me a used quad we were gonna tear it down and go through everything, no matter what quad i got. When we bought this one we knew we were gonna tear it down and paint the frame and replace some stuff, but we didnt know that the swing arm was cracked or that certain things were broken, or stuck, so it has turned into more of a project thn we had hoped, but yes i knew i was gonna get a "fixer upper" . This one just turned out to be a lil more work then expected.

Yup they are anodized blue my nerfs arent painted its the color of the metal. i think ...haha zac explained it to me but i dont remeber lol

We started painting the frame today . The blue i picked out is awesome. Its metallic blue and in certain light has a hugh of purple almost like the nerfs, pics to come soon .

Guys this whole project is a learning experience. I have no doubt that powder coating would be the best option. But we have had alot of problems and have had to purchase alot of new and used parts for this thing. ie swing arm, caliper, brake pads, $200 in nuts and bolts, steering stem, heel quards, we have to still have to get the motor machined to get the stuck head bolts out, and we are rebuilding the top end. As for accessories, yes i bought new nerfs and a bumper- luckily i got them on sale from albaactionsports.com. Regular prices nerfs were $130 bucks, and i got them for $50. The bumper reg priced was $80 and i got it for $29. So i have only spent $90 on accessories. I would still have to come up with another $400 bucks to powder coat and we cant do that this year. maybe next. We also arent just spray paintin the frame as is or ne thing- we have spent alot of time prepping and cleaning and removing rust-its been primered and sanded and it will get painted today and a coat of clear coat will be put on top. It wasnt done half assed but i know its not going to last half as long as powder coat-trust me i have weighed that option BUT It will get me through the season- and when i have more money to spend next year maybe ill powder coat. :rolleyes: just cant wait to ride the thing

too much to do not enough money

o its already been two months and i prolly have a few weeks left....wont be done ne time soon

Alright folks i decided to finally start a thread with some pictures from when i first got the quad, to where its at now in the rebuild process. I will add more and more pics as they come. Here it goes so far..... When he first came home Tearing him down Frame Prepped and primer ready Primed the frame ) Primered and ready to paint The newly painted foot pegs metallic black Fresh paint on the heal guards metallic black My favorite thing i bought- Alba Nerfs My new bumper- Pro Elite Stay tuned more to come

We are spray painting it, not enough money to powder coat. It is comin out great so far, will post some pics later on tonight.

Zac and I took his quad out in the woods with a picnic lunch. It was fun and since the weather here has finally reached 80 degrees the day was perfect. We spent the rest of the day workin on my quad. We finally started painting.

Honey thats because our cat weighs 20lbs

HOPE EVERYONE HAS VOTED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah hes my hero :wubclub::yes:

Heres the friggin nut. A week of heat, penetrating oil, broken tools, and alot of stress.......it took its tole.....and we won. The bolts time of death 9 pm on april 13, 2008

Zac and I have Nintendo, Super Nintendo , Nintendo 64, Game cube, Nintendo Wii, Xbox, umm and i think thats it. We have been using the Wii the most latley and play alot of Zelda, Mario galaxy, Golf, and other sports games. I use the xbox for mx vs atv and the sims. And the gamecube is good for mario cart. Zac and i both love video games, but niether one of us is coordinated enough to play any of the guitar hero type games. It kills me when we go to the stores and see 5 year olds that can tear it up on guitar hero and neither one of us can hit one note.

Alright the dog is cute but my ed is adorable

This girl is smilin ear to ear right now and so is my man. He was able to cut the bolt and then use a air chisel to knock the bolt and out it came. The threads are intact and the bearing is out :yes: My wheeler project is back on tract now and im so excited. I new my man could fix it all for me. Now i wont need a new frame and the painting begins this week. More pics will be up soon . Thanks to all for their suggestions.

Drive safe.....good luck:wink:
