1973 Gotcha Build

[curbdog17]

So I tried again to remove the hubs today

Snapped another Monkey wrench.
Then I made a slit in them and heated them up and soaked them with more PB BLaster


I only made the slit on one side. Wondering if I should put a slit on the opposite side of the hub?

[Aussie Iron]

I'd give it a bit of a beating. Put it on an anvil and flog it with a hammer while turning it around.

[Brant]

I finally gave up on the Scrambler hubs and took them to a machine shop to be pressed off. Cost? Priceless.

[curbdog17]

So you took the whole thing to a machine shop? Or Is there a way to get the axles out with the hub on?

Looks awsome, I amgetting one here shortly and was wondering on the actual size. Could you possibly get a picture with a full size man by it. Im 6' and about 275 pounds and am wondering how welll i'm going to fit.

**Also,those are piewrenhes. Monky Wrench's have a qooden hande and have a flat spot on the back ofthe jaws that can be used like a hammer. Im only saying this because I larned it like a few days ago in my Automotive Tech class.

Im6'6" and about 275 and plan to run a single seat in this Gotcha. Im not sure how well I would fit in the stock bench seat set up though.

Alright thanks. I found a video on here and it's bigger than I originally thought it was.

lots of heat and I beat the snot out of it.

[curbdog17]

More work done today.
1 more axle pulled and almost every thing from inside the tub.

Im trying to keep my parts organized

[Mike]

That is always a good place to get to, when there isnt much left that you can remove from the ATV.

Now I have nothing left to remove.


I will start the fibergall work within the next week.

[trebmaster]

[curbdog17]

So I was back at it today.
I finished the fiberglass patch work and did some of the body filler today too.
Im sick of sanding






Dont be too hard on me im not a autobody guy.

[curbdog17]

Sorry I have not been on in while, Im still working on the Gotcha.
I have been side tracked by another project of mine (the jeep). I will
keep working on this and get some updated pics soon.
