I know it's been awhile since the last update. Fear not, I'm at the "just add money" stage of this project. Slowly gathering all the parts that will be needed in order to make this a drivable car.

Now that the frame rails are all boxed in, we move on to fitting the crossmember. One it's in place, we weld it in and move on to the upper spring perches. Follow along and enjoy the adventure.

Before we can install the Mustang II crossmember, we need to box the frame rails. Follow along as I prepare the rails and then weld in the frame boxing kit.
61 Mercury Comet - Front Suspension Removal
zhlédnutí 250Před 3 měsíci
Follow along this week, as I remove the entire front suspension from the 1961 Mercury Comet. Including cutting out the shock towers. Makes for a ton more room in the engine bay, and paves the way for the Mustang II style suspension install.

61 Mercury Comet - Compression Test Failed
zhlédnutí 91Před 4 měsíci
Heck of a way to start a new project. After failing to get the original engine in my Comet to start, I dig in to find out why. Also a bunch of other little bits of progress.

Saw this sweet machine for sale and fell in love with it. It’s going to take me forever, but I’ll try to post videos as I go. This is a very short and sweet intro video, a quick walk around. I’ll babble about my intentions in a future video, when I’m turning some wrenches.

Just a short collection of clips this week. The fuel injector bungs have been welded into the factory intake elbows, and I start making the fuel rails.

Sorry about mistakenly uploading last week's episode. This is the proper video file, covering sorting out the wiring of the MegaSquirt 3 Pro into this bike. Follow along as we get the wires pointing in the right directions.

zhlédnutí 973Před rokem
Little bit of a miscellaneous episode. Got the intake flowbenched. Removed the exhaust and welded in the O2 sensor bung. Came up with an air filter and a way to mount it. Found a home for the fuse/relay box as well as the MegaSquirt brain.

Spent a day working on the bike. Mostly involved installing the fuel injector bungs. Also installed the 36-1 crank trigger wheel.

After trying many many times to print the manifold as a single piece, I found a new way to print it that's far easier.

    Indian Scout shop told me it cost two hour labor at $160 an hour spark plugs are about $20 or so crazy but how long does it take you to do that then is that two hour job as well ???

    The fly screen do you have enough protection from the wind?.

    Just ordered wire wheels for my 2019 scout. What inner tubes did you use or did you just order stock ones from Indian? I cant tell from the part diagram if the valve stem needs to be offset when buying aftermarket tubes.

    • @1ManWrenching
      @1ManWrenching Před měsícem

      I’m pretty sure the tubes came with the rims.

    Great set of videos man. thanks for making them. my dumb ass tried mounting a sidecar to my springer softail until i found out that wouldnt work. probably buy a honda or something to stick it on. but these videos have been invaluable.

      After Arlen Ness passed away, a lot of his products vanished from the market. Back when I bought it, it was everywhere and I think I got mine from Revzilla.

      I may pull it out and wrap it up enough to do that, once the Comet is mobile again.

    LS swap into a Merc? Abomination. You have 3 choices: winsor/5.0, 460 based, or Coyote. Please dont desecrate a clean Comet with a Chevy Motor. Please.

    • @1ManWrenching
      @1ManWrenching Před 3 měsíci

      I was planning to build an LS and swap it into something long before I found this car. It can always have something else swapped into it later in the future. I just love how common and affordable LS engines are. Great power, great gas mileage, light, tons of aftermarket options, tons of transmission options, I can literally get a bellhousing for every transmission out there to hook up to an LS engine. At least it’s still American. I’m not swapping a 2JZ or some BMW motor or some other import option.

    So i hadnt messed with a stand alone ecu in a long time, so i thought id go to megasquirt like innthe old days and then i saw their prices which boy howdy i knew inflation was a bitch bit damn! Then i kept coming across reviews and videos like this and came to the fuck this shit conclusion. I was then turned on to speeduino and havent looked back

    Man. ... I know you did this a while ago, but thank you. You make great, detailed, informative videos. Nice job. On a side note, is there a better solo seat for the passenger (that might even be for a different bike), but can also work on the Scout? Would love to know. Thx. AW

    use a blade screwdriver against that inside lip on the wheel cap to install it, that way you don't ding it up. you also use the screw driver to remove that cap. when the time comes.

    Like your scout mods videos. One thing I noticed is that if you're brave. You can actually reuse the hubs from the spoked wheels and respoke them-with the respective length spoke and size-using your scout's spoked wheel hubs, just remove the front fender or replace it

    I just got one off of Ali-Express. This is my test case for buying from them. It came well packed and looks just like the Aeromach (Arrow-Mok), but zero instructions. Glad I found this video. Look pretty easy once you know how. Thanks!

    • @1ManWrenching
      @1ManWrenching Před 4 měsíci

      Awesome, Aeromach stopped making them shortly after I did this video. After ranting that the Scout market wasn’t buying enough stuff from him. 🤦‍♂️
