zippos neverending project 5b

[zippo855]

This thing has been a long time since i started to "freshen" it up. main thing thats taken so long with this project is i decided to do some painting on this. did all the proper steps to get good adhesion of paint on the parts. deanodized, "keyed" surface, adhesion promoter, etc.
Finally have started making some good progress over the past week. its really starting to shape up. But still have a small piece or 2 to finish up. But on to some pics.

Should be starting assembly tonight depending on what time I get back in town from work.

[BART]

Looks incredible. I forgot how big that thing is.

[zippo855]

Looks incredible. I forgot how big that thing is.

lol, definitely a big beast. from when i got it from you there is very little still original. lol. i think the transmission, for the moment, will still have original hardened gears but going in turtle quick diff, throttle linkage (for the moment) and engine case (upgraded crank and piston / cylinder and carb.) is original gas tank and radio box. lol . have upgraded pretty much everything as a result of different issues. had a bad cartwheel once and destroyed front end, roll cage, and bent front of chassis, and had some issues with some of the rear a arms, they got replaced.

[zippo855]

started this morning, cleaned up the plastics and started assembly. new radio should be here tomorrow, and linkage hopefully later this week. did find a few things that will eventually getting replaced in the steering area.

heres pics
also got the final clear coats laid on the tank

[BART]

Good god, a twin would be amazing. Can't see the videos as IOS seems to think its too highfalutin to play them.

[winner]

lol how much money does your wife think you have in this vs. how much you really have?

[zippo855]

Good god, a twin would be amazing. Can't see the videos as IOS seems to think its too highfalutin to play them.
lol, yeah the twin videos ive seen so far make these out to be a beast of an animal, i cant wait. lol
the videos are just some break in runs. if i put links will they let you watch them?


lol how much money does your wife think you have in this vs. how much you really have?
she knows how much the engine cost, she has no idea on overall money i have in it though. lol

[zippo855]

got some better braking power, the brakes i had worked good, for a bit.. so it was time to try something better. so this babys going in when the twin goes in.
http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt68/zipposcustoms/20121001_202055.jpg

Yikes, what kind of power does that thing make?

[zippo855]

Yikes, what kind of power does that thing make?

insane, lol. not sure the exact number, most common ive heard is 12-14hp. i know ive seen some sick videos of what this can do. I only wish that i had dunes closer. would be sweet to run this bad boy on some sand with paddles.

[TheB1GDude]

Wow the twin is a beast!!

[pieisgude]

Good lord, that thing is going to be insane! Keep the updates coming!

[zippo855]

I don't think the twin is big enough now that it's installed... do they make a quad??

[zippo855]

I don't think the twin is big enough now that it's installed... do they make a quad??
lol they do for boats :eyecraz:

found my nut holder set, even though i already ordered another..... got front and rear swaybars installed.

http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt68/zipposcustoms/20121108_195708.jpg

[TheB1GDude]

All the black plastic parts still on it... are they stock or something along the lines of upgrade RPM parts? Will they be able to take the beating that the twin will be throwing at them...

[zippo855]

Still stock. Waiting for them to be on ddms deal of the day again to upgrade to rpm. Otherwise they are around 25$ a corner. I want to get some hostile hubs and different heims and turnbuckles too. Make suspension and steering stronger and smoother.

[zippo855]

alright, so the current stage of this project is coming to a close, all i have left is to run the fuel lines and i can fire it up. :) Big thanks to O'Neill Brothers Racing for breathing life back into this engine and getting me the parts i needed to beef up the gearing and mounting pieces, Turtle Racing for being able to get OBr the front cradle mount, Dino at JetPro for fixing the pipe up, DDM (davesmotors) for their lightning quick shipping of all the parts i needed to beef up the suspension, drive train, conversion to 5t so i can mount the cage, and all the other misc parts, dscjester and silverss from hpibajaforum for answering many questions i had and giving me advice to get this bad boy together, and everyone else who has given advice and commented and posted on my build thread to keep this going.
I have a few other parts on their way to finish off the build. Only thing i'm going to have left to get is some better tires that will handle the power of this twin. I'm hoping these hold up until hostile gets his belted tires in production :).
well enough talk, here's some pics

Thanks man. She has come a long ways. Hopefully fire it up tomorrow.

Had a package show up early. Got the cage installed and fuel lines ran. Only have to buy an L Allen and grind it down to tighten the one exhaust bolt down. Then fire it up.

[zippo855]

working til 5 and getting dark at 5:20- 5:30 sucks. as soon as the sun goes down its getting chilly made it hard to get this fired up and tested.

so today i was at the shop and not on the road so i decided to try and fire this up over the lunch hour. had to adjust my idle stop screw in a little to get it to fire and keep running. here's a video

[zippo855]

Been toying with the idea of a body. Going to find out if anyone has anyone had heat issues running a body on the twin. Living in KS it can get pretty hot in the summer.
but it looks good with a body....
http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt68/zipposcustoms/20121115_211709.jpg

[TheB1GDude]

I rather like it with the body if it was fully fitted it would look pretty darn sweet!

[BART]

Wishing I could fit a twin in my F1, although it hasn't even been started in years. Amazing build man.

[zippo855]

thanks man

Wishing I could fit a twin in my F1, although it hasn't even been started in years. Amazing build man.
i bet that would be a sick machine. that sucks on the not being fired in years. it's a wonderful piece of work bud.
thanks, this build has came a long ways from just a little freshening up.

got some of the little things worked on tonight.
put fullforce extended cups on the front, didn't like the sag, much better now, and got the kraken chase cage adapter installed. had to tie it into the extension piece that came on my sc due to the pipe. but should be a little easier now. had to work most of the day, then watched the fights tonight. so hopefully going to get the other break-in tanks through it tomorrow.

[clintr79]

Man that's one sweet ride and only getting better. I bet you have a small fortune in it.

[zippo855]

Man that's one sweet ride and only getting better. I bet you have a small fortune in it.

thanks man, shes definitely progressing. and shes looking sweet. and yeah a small fortune for sure.

heres the other vid
4mm1ndzq5G8

also took it out today and was messing around in a spot i normally do, and right near the top of the jump it grabbed traction on wheel wheel and launched it at an angle, and broke the rear bumper. go figure, lol. it rained last night and was hoping it would mean better traction. but its dry enough it soaked it all up and you couldn't really tell.
at least it broke that instead of the cage

[zippo855]

Got a few more things on the ddm sale that showed up today
X2 chassis, some more hostile boots, hostile nightmare rear tires with zero growth hard foams, hostile outer beadlocks with silverback inner, umbrella seals, and some other miscellaneous bits.
Not sure if the twin will get the x2 chassis or if it'll be the start of a ground up build. But couldn't pass up the price.

been messing around with my fine line air brush a little, and decided to try it out on some rims, and a new gear cover. get those matching the rest of the car :)

painted inside and out of the rims, this way you can see it through the spaces in the rim too. let these cure a day or 2, then i'm going to get some clear on them and get them installed.

Really like the detailing on the rims and cover... matches the rest of the chassis nicely...

thanks man, i'm really liking hows she's coming together. little bits here and there tie it all together nicely.

got some clear coat laid, and wanted to see what it would look like with some rubber on it, so i put one together.

That would be sick to put one in the F1, i wonder if a bzm 50 or a rcmax 70 would fit?

[zippo855]

had a bad connection on the plug wires, hoping thats that running issue.

tried an msd coil wire kit, and it ended up being a little short, so i found some wire on ebay, had some coil wire ends i had at the shop, and took the msd boots. here she is now.

got some work done this weekend, amidst the storms and the bbq. found an excessive buildup on the left side of the motor. looking more at it, it seems like my left hand boot has swelled and was sending grease flying, didnt look like exhaust leak, or head gasket leak.
http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt68/zipposcustoms/20130519_192220_zpsbf93ca9d.jpg

wiped down what i could, and got my flm cups in the diff, and new fluid.

[zippo855]

Went with the raw v1 as he said it would make the most power. Weather permitting will be running this weekend.

havent really made any progress for a while. work kept me extremely busy until recently. so here some updates, and hopefully vids this weekend.

didn't have any luck with getting the low end high rev issue fixed with the carb rebuilds and gasket replacements so new manifolds, gaskets, and some wt990 carbs. here's hoping
