Cafe Brimstone Build Thread
« on: August 20, 2018, 07:03:58 AM »
Hey folks,
Thought I would officially start the build thread, even though no "building" has technically been done. 
Ideally, having responsibility to something/someone, even if it is an anonymous online community, will prevent me from dragging this project out.

I have spent the last couple months researching and ordering parts as well as creating a workspace for the project.
Here's what's in the way of working on the Honda right now:

I just have to rebuild a couple of trannys and then two of these cars will be out of here and I can start on the bike.

Should be ready to tear into this guy next week:


This is my first Honda project, and in mentally going through the build, I still have a few outstanding questions -
I will be reaching out to the community in separate threads, so thanks in advance!

Welcome.  Since you have a couple of car projects, one would assume that you are mechanically inclined.  What are you goals with the Honda.  Is it running?

You can download the factory service manual and wiring diagrams, and access parts lists here: http://manuals.sohc4.net/cb750k/

Looks like a Corvair, 55 chevy and late 50, early 60 ford pickup.

Good projects.

Wish I had a corvair, loved those things, growing up.

A Corvair Monza has long been on my list of cars I would like to own.

Yep, the Monza is the one.

My brother had one when we were growing up. I think it was a 65 and yellow. Course, being a young teenager, he flipped it.
