Re: A Drewski/Seaglider Production
If I remember right, I looked at those same KYB shocks for my build and the spring rate is very high. I believe you will benifit good by laying them down if what you say is correct.

Honestly, it's mostly to get a "period" look.Back "in the day", many layed the shocks down to get a more progressive and slightly softer shock/spring action. I believe the travel is a little longer too. For me... it's all about the"look"! Haha! 8) If there's a practical advantage, I'll take it!

Re: A Drewski/Seaglider Production
Yes, they very well might be a tad stiff for this application.
Honestly, we put them on because we had 'em lying around. True. Could be that we'll get something a little more traditional when it come time to roll! 8)
Pics tonight. Honest. ;D

Re: A Drewski/Seaglider Production
Drat!! That's what u get when you drag your feet!! ;D
Well, not much to add except a couple of overall shots...
... and an action shot of the old shock mounts being removed!
Over all, I think we're really satisfied with where the frame is at. I think it'll be "light years" ahead of what it was, and capable of withstanding just about anything we can throw at it power-wise! :

Re: A Drewski/Seaglider Production
Well, a bit of a set back today.
The engine I thought we were gonna use is really only useful as parts. :'(
Sooooo... we're "in the market" for another h2 engine. I'm sure we'll find one eventually. We missed out on a good one by a few days. Just sold last week.
Maybe BradJ will sell us his drag motor! ;D

Re: A Drewski/Seaglider Production
Haha! It's o'k. Thanks for the offer Brad! The engine is missing a LOT more significant bits and pieces than I remembered. I should have looked a little closer at it before selling off some of my own stuff last Spring.
It'll be cheaper in the long run to buy a complete engine to replace it. This one will do for parts.
So... the search begins.
Many h2 owners are hoarders though. Gotta find one who'll part with what we need for reasonable dollars. I think we'll be o'k.
