Finally doing something with this cheap, engine-less Cross Country! #Victory #Engine #Transmission
The cheap Cross Country has been lurking in the background of my vidyas for far too long. Time to get this old girl back on the road. So I'm tearing apart an engine/transmission I got very cheap (imagine that) because the guy I got it from said it had transmission issues. If this seems like Deja-vu, it should. I've dug into several Victory engine since starting this channel. I just hope I've bored you all sufficiently.
Yep, I've got a Facebook Page. Nope, no better than this channel: groups/1004545590524751/?mibextid=oMANbw

"Rusty's" rear end is the wrong one! Can I make it work? #Ford #Granada #Differential #Axle
มุมมอง 14814 วันที่ผ่านมา
"Rusty" still needs a lot of repairs if I want her to make it to next year's "Duct Tape Drags". So I'm going to replace the one thing that is still working perfectly: the entire rear end. Why, because I like the lower gear ratio of 3.73, rather than the stock 3.08. And it's a limited slip! And more than anything, it was CHEAP! But there's a reason it was so cheap. Can I make the wrong rear end ...
A few project updates, and making the Hot X stop better! #Excelsior Henderson #mechanic #repair
มุมมอง 17521 วันที่ผ่านมา
Everything's broken. Seems I can't keep up with the repairs, let alone the projects. But I suppose it would help if I was actually home working on stuff, instead of on little vacations. And, you might ask, what is a Hot X? It's a motorcycle. A motorcycle I bought (like I really needed another one). This one belonged to a friend who passed away, and has a history with the Excelsior-Henderson com...

I'm scavanging some more parts for "Rusty", the Granada, from the remains of a Foxbody Mustang ...or Thunderbird ...or Capri. Well, I can't really tell what model, there's not enough left of it. But, there are a couple of things I can use, and the rest I can sell. And I got it.....CHEAP! Yep, I've got a Facebook Page. Nope, no better than this channel: groups/1004545590524751/?mibe...
The Rusty Grenade gets exhausted, and clustered! (Part 6) #351 #Windsor #Swap #Foxbody #Granada
มุมมอง 228หลายเดือนก่อน
"Rusty" the 82 Granada 351 project rides again! To make that happen, I first have to spend more money than the car is worth to install a custom exhaust system (painful for a cheapskate like me). The I do an instrument cluster transplant from a donor Mustang, so I have gauges that won't lie to me! Was the surgery a success? Watch and see. And something about burnouts being bad for transmissions....

Way to dump the oil on your driveway. 😂 Gotta work on that hazmat control.
@@thediplomasta5891 Yeah, I can be clumsy...
From a Mustang? Man, that's a high performance station wagon now!
@@grandmasmalibu Yep! Just gained 15 hp!
Mother had a white 80s Buick station wagon til two nuns collided with her and totaled it. She wore a neck donut for awhile but that was a decent parts car to part and made enough money to offset my purchase of a '92 Camaro Z28. Still miss that station wagon as a kid when groceries could fill the back impressively.
That is a really cool car very comfortable.
Indeed! My favorite daily driver.
Awesome 🎉😮🎉
Good one Mike....Thanks
I appreciate the support!
I can’t wait to see that bike up and running
I can't either!
I always enjoy your vids. Keep ‘em coming Mike!
That's the plan!
Yes!! Another one!
Can't have too many, can I? ...can I?
It'll be good to see this bike on the road. What year is the engine?
I believe it's a 2010. That's were my confusion in the vidya came from.
@@2coolwheels139 The confusion about the 1-2 gear lock out? The 2010 didn't have that as you know.
@@underthedrone2735 Well then it must be a newer engine, because it does have the 2nd gear lockout. I didn't know what year that was implemented, thanks for enlightening me.
@@2coolwheels139 Might be able to tell by the serial number if it has one.
Very cool Mike. I enjoyed watching this, even though I know nothing about Victory bikes. You da man!
Victorys are pretty easy to work on. But not nearly as kuhl as Excelsior Hendersons!
you can just use c channel and make your own subframe connectors pretty simple. I dont know if you truly need them if its just a driver.
@@jeffreyrigged I was thinking the same thing. Great minds think alike!
@@2coolwheels139 yes sir
Is it me or does the v92 c victory look remarkably similar to the excelsior Henderson. Motor tank frame ? Does any one know why that would. Be
@@lostsoulontwowheels As far as I know, any similarities are coincidental.
You’re the grandpa I never had. Thanks gramps for showing me how to work on my 92
And the correct speedo gear…
@@danleignone8247 Hopefully I can source an AOD that came from a car with a matching rear ratio.
@@2coolwheels139 if not that gear is a easy swap.
@@jeffreyrigged Indeed!
I enjoy those type of videos
Thank you love it 😊
Do more “Boring” videos like my dad wasn’t shit
Is this the next ChrisFix?!
No, Chris actually fixes things.
The most boring video I'll watch all day? Don't mind if I do! Lol
I was almost asleep by the time I finished doing it!
Another great video, Mike! And thanks for finding and getting Jumpers bike back. It truly belongs to someone like you who will care for it. Im sure Jumper is smiling down, and giving you two thumbs up!
Damn that bike sounds awesome 💯😎
I'm glad you saved the Jumper Special Edition and plan to keep it. I'm not a custom guy but, I'd make an exception for that one.
I agree, she's exceptional!
Glad to see you are retired and actually enjoying yourself I hope there is more to come God Bless you
@michaelwesselman7480 Yes, there will be more vidyas. I'm too hyper to not work on something. I've always got to be doing something, so I might as well video it.
Hot-X is beautiful! Congrats and thank you for taking care of this labor of love by another EH rider, may he RIP. This may be the nicest bike in your stable now!
@@underthedrone2735 Yep, she's a beauty all right. I'm pretty stoked!
Thanks Mike Great Flick ! Keep em coming
I will until I'm too old to. Like next week...
Awesome car man ive got the 96

Mine is broke too,I have a 2001 v92c,great idea!
Way cool mike!
I got one for a dollar-$2.98
The elevator music was the least boring part made me want to listen to Chicago
That means the rest of it was VERY boring!
I hoard so much its not funny.
I think it goes with the occupation! If you work on old stuff, you have to save everything!
@2coolwheels139 makes the wife happy
nice!!
Nice job Mike!
We'll look at that rock. I look forward to seeing it. I love making weird s*** fit.
Only if the parts can't be repaired do i scrap them. The rest of the stuff thats still good but i cant use i usually give away to whoever needs it.
its only junk if its too broken to be useful or repairable
It's only fun till you pull the deck down😂
I was ready to catch it!
Lmao you are very clever
Well, as they say, necessity is a mother.
my first car is a 93 buick century. Wish there was more info out there about how to fix it for non-car people lol im new but learning. Cool car
Glad you are willing to learn...there is a lot to know. TH-cam is a good resource for creators of "how-to" videos (unlike my videos).
Chrome tip on the rusty top just pops
I thought so, too!
Always get under the back before it's strapped down it's the safest way😂
Well, I cheated. There was a come-along attached at the front.
Just make a Bluetooth clutch system...😆. Good idea, I bet that would work for a V92 bike as well.
they probably didn't go out at the same time....
“We’re going to replace them probably with the wrong parts” is hilarious 😂
@@KileHumbug I try to use the wrong parts whenever possible.
