BigBoyBlasters Small Build

[Triple_B]

Well guys its official. Im starting a small rebuild next week. For xmas I got a banshee axle, Ken O'Connor Redesigned Cylinder Head (courtesy of Whitty21), and a Jaws front bumper. Within the next 2 weeks. My dad and I are taking the blaster to where he works (an airport). Since his job involves things such as working on the company vehicles, His shop has EVERYTHING from paints to torque wrenches to bench grinders and I can go on. Stuff were doing:
Engine
Repainting all the cast = silver.The Jug, stator cover, and clutch cover = gloss black.
Ken O'Connor Redisigned Cylinder Head.
Rejetted Carb
VF3's
Everything Else
A-arms = candy blue. Swinger= Candy blue. Frame=candy blue
Custom Air Scoops.
Blue/Black PowerMadd handguards
Banshee Axle
Hoping to be finished my the summer. Stuff I have now:

EDIT: Unfortanately, build will not start until this spring. Im going to add the banshee axle and redisigned cylinder head only right now. Doing everything next spring probably march.

i told my buddy with a 05 shee this and he learned the hard way. came loose while riding, developed play and now his carrier bearings are shot and the axle is scored up

Heres the paint Im ordering for the frame. Its DuraCoat Firearm Paint. I think its going to be pretty strong paint. Better than walmart paints lol. Scroll down about halfway, you'll see a gun with the color "Royal Blue" . The gun is royal blue and tan, obviously its showing the blue

DuraCoat Standard Colors - SECOND Page

Im going to leave the thread closed for now. I'll open it when I update the build!

 

[Triple_B]

Thread is re-opened. Ive got the build planned out now and pretty close to the start. I dont know if I will be able to get VF3's yet. Mainly focused on the "Looks" of the blaster. I'm going to go with:

My top priorities are to get the O'Connor Redisigned head installed, The axle installed, Spacers up Front, and the yfz fenders. As well as the painted frame, swinger, a arms, and engine. Hopefully be done by Fall of 2011

Frame and the A-arms are going to be Royal Blue.... If you scroll down about mid page you'll see a "Royal Blue" painted M16 or M4. I have a strong feeling that firearm paint will be tough due to the roughness they go through. Stuffs expensive too. http://www.houtsenterprises.net/dur_all_colors2.html

more pictures, more pictures!

Cant wait to see this finished, interested in the firearm paint also.

 

[Triple_B]

Well due to money issues, I cannot afford enough firearm paint for my frame and a-arms etc. Its just wayyyyy too expensive for the little 4oz. cans. So unfortunately that leaves me no other option except a rattle can. Rustoleum, some sort of candy blue. I'm going to do like 6 coats of it, then 3 of clear (obviously primered before painted) So thats the current situation. Should have the blaster stripped down within 2-3 weeks. I'll update this as I go. Here is what I most likely will be ordering: http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/...ocStoreNum=925

Rustoleum is like 3.50 a can at wallyworld. One can will do one decent coat on the frame (just the bare frame, no arms or swinger). Rustoleum makes a Metallic Blue that looks great. I would have used it on the frame of my 01 if I had painted it. Heres a pic of a clutch cover I painted with it.

 

[Triple_B]

Update: Just ordered some spacers and a head gasket. About to order the rustoleum paint.
