A few project updates, and making the Hot X stop better! #Excelsior Henderson #mechanic #repair

"Rusty's" rear end is the wrong one! Can I make it work? #Ford #Granada #Differential #Axle
"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 work?

A few project updates, and making the Hot X stop better! #Excelsior Henderson #mechanic #repair

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...

"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....

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
@@baethal9480 she's my favorite daily driver!
Built not bought love it😊
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. UA-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.
All boats 🚢 need horns. 👍
honk = honk
Gonna need that horn in Arizona
Yeah, I needed it plenty of times after it quit!
Now this guy you can trust
Congrats Mike! I had never got the chance to meet Jumper but Jaime and the East Coast crew had told me a lot of great things. Thanks for keeping this history.
Very cool and practical conversion.
And hopefully more reliable!
This is awesome! I remember Jumper from communicating on the FB page. I remember when he passed. He knew my grandpa Keith Weuste who was an investor and passionate EH rider. I’ve still got both of his Super X’s. Thank you for making videos on these special motorcycles!
Ya 30 psi at idle isn't bad
In the video, the engine is cold, and it's got 40wt oil with STP. Once the engine warms up, even with that thick oil in it, it drops to zero on the gauge. I'd love it if it stayed at 30, but it doesn't.
Sure the ford one wasn't and oil pressure switch?
@@martyk1156 Actually, yes it was a switch. I intentionally used it to get the desired Vidya! So, I cheated...
I had one of those on my ‘55 truck with the tunnel ram, and every time it backfired it burned up the element leaving crumbly matter to fall into the carb. Fun times.
Depends on what it is. Old small bock chevys minimum oil pressure is 8psi. Modern cars run a little higher, closer to 30 psi to 60 psi, depending on load. Fun fact, ford oil pressure switches were on, or off, there was no real pressure reading. 80s and 90s cars and trucks.

mike, do you have the part numbers for the charging system upgrade? i cant seem to find them.
I usually go by description and get them used on eBay. 03 -07 rotor (flywheel) and stator. But, if you want the actual part numbers, you can look them up at Don Wood Victory parts.
You ruined my air cleaner. laugh
And loved doing it!
It worked! It's definitely lying!
I can't handle the truth.
Very cool! Nice job Mike
We all want Jumper's legacy to live on. And I'll take that responsibility seriously. He did such a great job on the Hot X!
