A big huge to you all!

Cheers back at ya, Skull Crusher. Always love hearing from you. And hope everything is fine with you and your lovely lady-friend!

That's not an everyday-kind of bed you got there for the Kraz (which is looking completely awesome, by the way).

It looks like it was designed for some specific hauling; do you know what it is that's meant to load onto that thing?

Hello up there, Ahab!

I'm fine and my girl too, thanks! I hope all is fine with you and your beloved ones!

Yes, that bed is unusual for most of our MV rigs. It's a bed for pontoon transportation.



My KrAZ is waiting for some components like clutch master and slave cylinders, air brake pedal valve, radiator and some stuff. We took the bed of cause I will not use it anymore. I intend to build a flatbed to make it more useful and also to carry a container (going to put my workshop inside of it).

Me and my girl are going to immigrate to Canada in 5 to 10 years and we plan to use 2 containers, 1 for the workshop and 1 for the house I intend to build for us.

Can you or someone else help me out with some ideas, tips and all?

Thanks a lot for the friendship I've found here at SS!

I got an idea, Skull Crusher:

- Turn that pontoon into a workshop (adapt and re-use), and keep the original truck-bed for its transportation. Just add a door to it somewhere and figure out the rest.

- And consider building your new quarters in the Great North Country out of conex boxes.

Think out-of-the-box by thinking in the box. How about that; what do you think!?

I am liking what you are doing on your truck! I know what you mean by a snails pace. The conex house is interesting.

Hi there, Wrench!

I hope you are doing fine! Can you post some pics of your build, please? I really would like to see it!

I know it´s been a long time since I don't post any messages and pics....life can become so weird sometimes...

But, here I am with some more news:

- alternator support done;
- master and slave clutch cylinders are in their locations now;
- trying to figure out where to put the air valve to make brakes work properly;
- waiting for the new radiator to come by in order to install it.

Here are some pics...



A big hug to you all, friends!

 

[wrenchturner6238]

Looking good on your update pics!! Yes I will start a thread and get in some pics

 

[Another Ahab]

But, here I am with some more news:

What's always great about your work, Skull Crusher, is how clean and professional it is. Photos of your progress are always a treat.

What's the story on the bike:

- It's got a Harley look to it, but the saddle and a few features would seem to rule that out. What do you have there?

 

[Skull Crusher]

Hi there, Great Friend Ahab!

It's always great hearing from you!

Thanks for the compliments!

More pics of the Kraz to come!

My bike is a Fat Bob Dyna 2014, with Willie G. SKULL covers, front light has been modified to a Low Rider headlight. The saddle is Fat Bob original, with an aftermarket sissy bar and a bag from Kuriakyn. Seus got a Fuelpak and V & H exausts. Anyway she is a H-D Dyna.

 

[Another Ahab]

It was shouting H-D, but I was unfamiliar with the saddle.

That's a fat machine; VERY nice.

Thanks, Ahab!

Yes, is's a fat one indeed!

What about you? What have you been doing all this time? Is everything going fine with you and your family?

Cheers from the woods down here!

I owned a nice bike back years ago, BMW R50/2 with drive shaft and it was all German precision; a great machine.

News here now is the rain:

- 2.75" (70 mm) of rain in D.C. so far today already breaking the daily record of 2.59" (66 mm) set in 1881.

It's some kind of wet around here.

Here too were are getting a not so dry winter...a boring and cold rain is coming along those past days...

Good one, Wrench!

Keep up the good work!

 

[Skull Crusher]

Here are some news:

- radiator finally came in;
- also came all hoses and stuff;

Now it's time to install the radiator, buiding some brackets and stuff to hold it in its place.

Here are the pics, I hope you enjoy, Brothers!

Cheers!

 

[Skull Crusher]

Well, things got faster this week. ..

- the air brake pieces showed off and got installed.

Lets see what I can come off with...

Thanks a lot for your support, Friend hipertensão and nice words all the time!

Here's what it is about your work Skull Crusher:

- It always looks so perfectly executed, and like it was all simple and easy.

- I never picture you busting' knuckles, or swearing any blue streak of frustration.

All this might just be in my imagination, but your excellent photos always lend that kind of impression.

Nothing ever seems to be a problem, and everything works (and fits). It's great. I love your stuff.

I have no words to say about your own words!

Despite the distance I thank you so much for sharing the passion about MVs and well built stuff!

I do what I can, never losing the faith about what I am into. Sometimes I get obstacles as everyone but keep going as most does too. We are human being thus we march on.

I really miss your build, that truck was an inspiration for my build, the quality of your work keeps scores high!

Pray for me, Buddy in order for me and my girl to move up to Canada. By doing so, I will find a way to meet you and Wrench, to talk about life stuff, have some BBQs and drink wine/beer (I'm a wine guy), share knowledge and laugh a lot!
