Sounds really nice!!! Was it also your FS1e in the 70's? :shock:

I had a fizzy in the 70's Neils, but not like this one. It was a Yellow DX, Kenny Roberts Speedblocks.
This is the Fizzy I actually wanted back then.

There is a picture on this site somewhere!

looks verry nice indeed

what kind of treatment did you gave your engine? is it sandblasted?

chasthor · Bericht door **chasthor** » 02 jan 2007, 09:37

Thanks for that master lemmy!

The engine cases were bead blasted. This gives a smooter finish than sand. The crankcase were left as blasted! The crankcase covers were repaired and made good with body filler ans then sprayed and laquered.

It is a good idea to spend a good time washing down the newly blasted items. Any little bit of bead or sand left in the engine could cause trouble!
