Not sure why I've never joined until now. Stationed in Kansas, getting out of the military in December and moving back home to Austin, Texas (born and raised). Here's a few of my recent builds, as well as some older.

'89 Volvo 245 Single T72 5.3/T56 - ARP rod bolts/ARP studs, ls9 gaskets. Everything was completely hand made by myself and my roomate. Was N/A for about a month. Build time ~ 9 months.



'31 Model A. Chopped/Channeled, originally a 4 door sedan. 1965 .40 over 327. Dual weiand highrise w/ Holley 4160's. Custom z'd 2x3 frame. Suicide front and rear suspension etc etc etc...



'79 Kz650. Hand made frame from the neck back. Hand made swingarm - 5" stretch. Hand made seatpan, leather etc... Put it on the backburner a lot, built it over a winter.


'79 XS400 Cafe project. XS360 tank swap. Haven't really worked on it much yet.

Your bikes/cars rock! That kz is bad ass, I just sold a kz440 a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks. I just sold the KZ a few days ago. I never rode it. Most I used it for was a bar hopper lol. I built a kz440 years ago. Also built a Cb350 cafe last year, but sold it right before I finishd. Was nearly impossible to find parts for the Kein carbs, and I didn't feel like spending $400 for a mikuni kit.

This XS400 has 3k original miles, bought it complete just unassembled for $400. The guy tore it apart and got in over his head. Spent $75 on a flawless 360 tank, made some mounts, and as soon as I finish the Volvo in a few weeks I'll knock it out.
