Pullstart 63,498 #553 Posted April 25, 2019 The horse head picture has not much to do with what I’m showing, but it’s the way the camera was sitting and looked cool on screen! 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 63,498 #554 Posted April 25, 2019 Finishing touches on the guard today, but the big seam stitch is finally complete! Once all welding and grinding is deemed finished, I believe I’ll put together a bigger e-tank and get parts cleaned up for filler skimming and paint. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 63,498 #555 Posted April 25, 2019 I didn’t realize that some decals are clear until I peeled these off with the help of some heat on the bake side of the tin. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 63,498 #559 Posted April 29, 2019 I have decided, the cracks need fixin’. I have decided, the cracks need fixin’ I have decided, the cracks need fixin’. No turning back, no turning back. This is a tough decision with the Stars and Stripes but it needs it. @Vinylguy I hope these are enough reference to recreate some day 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 28,164 #560 Posted April 29, 2019 Good call Kevin. The cracks should go. I'm sure that Terry will have no problem recreating the stars & stripe. Check out the decal that he made for my McLean. 3 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 63,498 #561 Posted April 29, 2019 I massaged the drivers side ( @WHX22 ) of the hood to help clear the big block, that made that crack a bit wider. Just more fill material, right? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 63,498 #564 Posted April 29, 2019 Now, I realize they are the wrong color red.... but I have these machine lift points. Since the box was built in proportion to Putt Putt’s hanging weight, I think they are only fitting. Watcha’ think? 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 63,498 #571 Posted April 30, 2019 I got the lid formed for the battery box last night. I think I’ll leave the back of the box open and integrate a battery hold down into the lid... or something like that! 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 63,498 #574 Posted April 30, 2019 Well, let’s just pull that emergency stop button now. She wants it cleaned and cleared. No bondo, no paint. (“At least for now” she says). Who am I to upset the woman, right? I’ll e-tank all the new raw stuff to get the oils off it, then set it outside for a while to rust. Then as she’s on the way out, she says “or get me a shiney new cup!” And you’d think I’d shut my yap, but I respond.... “I’ll get ahold of @19richie66!” @Vinylguy Terry, if you’ve already worked on my custom order, let me know how much I owe ya and we’ll settle up no problem The woman’s got a point.... it’s “Frank” because it’s a Frankenstein conglomeration of parts, remember? 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 63,498 #575 Posted April 30, 2019 Oh yeah, and the first thing she said when she came in the shop was “I hate the pink!” 1 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
