Not at my apartment I don't think... They didn't yesterday... Though if someone lets them in the building they might... I came home once and had a roomba sitting at my door. But normally they don't.

Edit:

Again... I waited around all day until 5:30ish and was out for about an hour. Of course I missed them. The plus thing though is tomorrow rather then checking off all the boxes for when I should be expecting delivery they narrowed it down to between 2pm and 5pm.

Maybe I'll go out before and look for the wire brushes I want and head over and do some work on the bike.

I've been watching a really nice exhaust on ebay, it started out cheap, but with 5days left it is over $160 now... It is probably well worth it though, but I think mine will probably work... It will be interesting to see the sale price of the exhaust system though, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=260615347630

That is a very nice exhaust system, indeed.

However, the price will surely climb even higher over the next five days.

Got the engine painted. Next step, get it in the frame...

I also got a sand blast cabinet, I need to get the light in it working though.

That exhaust system on eBay sold for $552.99 plus $29 shipping. 8O

Not of the engine, I didn't have my camera over there... I do have one of the cabinet. It looks much like what you were considering from HF I think. I'll try to post it a little later, they're still on the camera. I wonder what the trick is with the siphon type to make them work best? Should the siphon tube be completely covered by the sand, should it be mounted to the bottom? When I had it blasting it worked great, but a lot of the time it was just blowing air out.

Weldangrind · 06-14-2010, 12:41 AM

With the little bit of sandblasting I've done, I found that I got the best results with the tube buried in the sand. As well, I connected my shop vac to the exhaust port to minimize dust outside of the cabinet.

Cal25 · 06-14-2010, 08:37 AM

Yep, bury the siphon hose.

Jim · 06-14-2010, 01:07 PM

Thanks for the info on that guys

Jim · 06-17-2010, 07:26 PM

Well I was a little slow with the picture eh?

And here is the motor, before, I don't have an after picture yet...

Weldangrind · 06-17-2010, 10:46 PM

Your "before" looks better than any of my "afters".

That looks like a very nice cabinet, Jim. I agree with Derryk; the engine looks pretty good right now; I bet it is going to look great later!
