update on the oil seals: nothing has turned up as of now, soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo remember there was that place called "motion industries" that sells the SKF seals and their shipping was retarded expensive? i looked it up and they are 33 mins away from me, soo i think I'm gonna send me an email and see if there a walk in over the counter shop (thru pictures it looked like it, just to be sure ill ask) and if they have my needed seals in stock, if so ill run over there possibly Saturday or Friday (tomarrow). and then ask for a refund on the seals that never turnt up.
 
Question, so my air filter relocation thingy has a metal tube for the air filter to mount to (like the crazy Stu intake), it's made out of mild steel, and mild steel can rust, should I be worried about it rusting and a peice of rust falls into the Engine? I don't ever run it water but that's obviously not the only thing that can cuase rust, if I should be worried about this, should I paint it or something? Also how should I resurface aluminum? My clutch housing and CDI mount look like total poop,15592703990038577075104959890521.webp
None of those scratches are deep

Imo I would get some aluminum for your intake... call me crazy but I've never seen rust be good in any part of an engine. As for the aluminum brackets. Buffing them with some cutting compound then polishing them will get minor scratches out and make them glow. Most of the stuff can be found at a decent auto parts store.

It's not the best write up but it gets the general point across..

Ok, can I paint that tube for the intake? Or is that also a bad idea?
 
I personally wouldnt. If for some dumb reason you get a splash of fuel on the paint or it doesn't like your filter oil it could cause the paint to lift and then you have paint getting sucked into the engine.

Ok thx I'll see if I can find a aluminum replacement. Kinda sucks because that's more money and more time but I guess it's worth it in the long run ?

EDDDDDDDIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTT: took these pics today, what so you think? Side note: i removed the shocks, that why it's laying on the chassis, obviously can't drive like that or even if it did I'd have no chassis left after a month

That's the point, can't see too much but can see just enough, plus the red lighting is to add a sort of demonic/creepy (for lack of a better term) theme to the whole thing, to match Frankenstein, you know he's creepy and all thay, I'm artsy ? on the tube thing, chroming would be the best but that costs alot and at that point ,might as well just get alu, much cheaper ?

That's better?? now we're can see
What about pvc for your intake tube....... like a plumbing pipe super cheap super lite

You might also be able to get it powder coated? That small of an item should be really cheap.
