@TheEZGZ 2 года назад

Had to watch this one more than ounce. Lot of nice upgrades. I really like that tinted sunroof. Can you tell me if it originally had a sunroof? What are the dimensions? Mine has the sliding sunroof but I rather have one like yours and not have the drain holes to worry about.

@VWJawbreaker 2 года назад

I’ll try to get you a measurement soon. It looks like a factory sunroof, it pops open in the back so I’m thinking it may not be factory. Hard to say without tearing into the headliner. We had a hard storm last night and this one does leak a little so I’ll be needing to dive into this soon. I’m enjoying working on this Baja, especially after watching you for years having a good time with yours. It’s another reason for the Sickxty build, cross of different things that I like and it’ll be multipurpose as well.

@bacres 2 года назад

Um,, I'm gonna question the sellers statement that it's 100 miles on a rebuilt motor.. That's some nasty oil for only 100 miles.. just saying!

@vayabroder729 2 года назад

Great deal, Gary! you can certainly pimp that one up, a lot simpler than the Sickxty. You can switch the oil pump with one of CB Performance’s full flow models and then just run some lines to the remote oil filter and you’ll be set. No need to drill and tap the block (you always can with the motor in the car using Gene Berg’s method) if you want. Now adjust valves, timing and it will get there.

@VWJawbreaker 2 года назад

Thanks man, it’s been fun so far and seems to be helping me want to be in the garage more than the Sickxty has been lately. I think I do have an in and out cb pump here…. That’s a great idea as it looks like the oil pump is leaking. Wouldn’t hurt to swap them out that’s for sure. Valves were right on the money, timing and carb adjustment took care of most of the stumbles. 👍

Hell yeah that's a sweet little Baja! Good to see the next generation out there getting some oil on their hands 😄 tell your boy to keep up the good work! Man I remember the only Baja I built, I made a teepee style exhaust out of j tubes that slid right into a stock muffler. Anyways I connected those two tubes together and put one of those flappers on the exhaust and even though I knew it was there I would always forget and come up to a stop sign and hear ting ting ting and wonder for a second what the heck is that.lol my brain needed a few seconds hahaha

@V8N8T 2 года назад

@@VWJawbreaker you gotta love that, it's always cool when someone is excited to learn! It was a pretty cool exhaust/car, built it when I was 19 I think making 8.50 working at schucks auto supply. Built the whole car with bits and pieces I got for free or cheap, didn't have much money back then. It had a low compression 1500 I got for free that had both heads lifted and was caught on fire. Tore that motor down, cleaned it up and resealed it and it was a good little runner! I'll have to post about it on Instagram maybe tomorrow. I ended up giving it to a good friend of mine for his birthday and he still has it even though a tree fell on its roof!

I love it guys, mine is a 69 .. and I made it into a narrow eye kit. I like the old school look. Can’t wait I see what’s next.

@@VWJawbreaker Gary… been wrenching on the Baja .. still trying to dial a center mount Weber style carb. Today was much better than It’s been. Lowered my float more for our fuel out west… cause 2 weeks ago no matter what jets and airs I put In still couldn’t get the burble out. I cranked down my fuel pressure .. I really got to test it. So jetting…. It’s a 44… had 30 mm vent I ran F7 170 airs and 130 mains. 60 idles. It ran ok. On power great idles fine. For a cammed 1835. I’ve always had a burble sound. Hate it. So I went to 28mm vents crisper.. but still that burble..hmm looking at F11 emulsions… did a 200 air 140 main…. It’s TON better. But I got to make a freeway run and check plugs. Keep ya posted.

@@patar7999 hard to say what the sound is without hearing it. F7 vs F11 only difference is when the emulsion tube rich end up the mixture. I’d definitely make some runs and check your plugs to see how it’s running. You could always pull the jet stack out and drive it around on the idle jets and see how it does. When you get too high in the rpm band you’ll know the jet stacks aren’t there and it’ll help keep you on the idle circuit. Just a thought to maybe help dial ya in some more, 60 idles seem big even for a called 1835.

@@VWJawbreaker yeah wish I could send a video buddy. I hear ya.. I’ve been messing around with that main stack out.. but haven’t driven it like that. It seems to like the 60 idles … doesn’t puff black smoke. It’s getting a lot closer! but as a back up. Got a set of kadrons to be rebuilt by kaddie shack.

I cannot believe how big Levi's has gotten in the last 3 years. Looks like there might be a Baja and his future. Great buy!

@@VWJawbreaker well IMO you want something you earn it? Seems to me Levi was missing from a lot of the work on the Frankenbeetle build.

@@thehammah8444 I completely agree with you. However I gave him a pass with all of the welding and what not that needed to be done. He helped on the chassis when I wasn’t recording and plans to help when things progress more.
