782/1711 restoration
 

Getting started on my 1711 that I'm calling a 782 which it will be since I'm painting it RED! I started by taking off the fenders and then broke the rearend away from the frame. I'm surprised that even though is a 85 model, CCC already started to cheapen them up. What I mean by that is aluminum rearend, no protection between the battery and the rear tires and also the starter seloniod is right above the left rear tire where there is no protection. Going to try to take the engine out tomorrow!

Please keep us updated, Adam! You're off to a great start.

Thanks Allen!

Adam that sucks that the rear was broken away from the frame, but I know it'll be right when your done with it.:beerchug:

I think he means he separated the two.

I knew someone would paint their 1711 red before I could. :biggrin2:

Yeah, I seperated the rear from the frame last night, there isn't anything broken:biggrin2:. The bolts sure were tight though!

I took the engine out of it today. That was a real PAIN, all the bolts were tough all the way off. Also took the rear tires off the rear end. Tomorrow I'm going to pressure wash everything so hopefully by friday night or monday night I'll be able to paint the black (rear end, front axle and tower) Pics later tonight

Here's some pics!

Appreciate the update and pics, Adam!

Adam you've got some cleaning to do! Looking good tho.:beerchug:
