Oh fellas you didnt have to...

Looky what came in the mail!

That's right, the boys at Dice included my favorite patch with the issue.

A100 Progress

I just realized I promised an update and I never delivered. So, here is what I did a couple weeks ago.

I finished the one piece windows enough to send the template to my buddy at the glass shop

I pulled out the heater assembly to help with cutting out the floor. Also, I anticipate putting in an A/C unit in its place 

Then I started cutting out the floors. I of course ran out of time at this point and haven't touched it since. I'll square up the cuts then fab up some new pieces and weld them in. Once that is done I'll take care of the couple of rust areas on the roof than start hammering dents out.

The End

Shadow

First coat on the frame today. Went a little heavy on the flake but that's what I do.

I'll second coat it tomorrow, then clear. The frame will have to stay untouched for a week then I'll hang the wiring. In the mean time I'll paint the motor and start the polishing. I still haven't fully commited to the paint job for the tins. More than likely it'll just happen.

The End

Salute..

Clyde, Scrap the Caddy

So I've had to take a break from my own projects to finish some stuff for others. I am working on an '86 Honda Shadow. This bike has some sentimental value to the owner which explains the extensive work he's paying for. I think it'll come out cool but, I could be bias. I stupidly forgot to take a before pic but here is how it looks now. Clyde, Scrap the Caddy.

Man I miss having a lift. I thought my knee caps were going to explode outta my skin and ricochet all over the garage. This weekend will be motor paint, fork rebuild, lots of polishing, and prepping the frame for paint.

On the A100 front I got my one piece window templates off to the glass guy.

The End

I know its been a while...

Unlce Sam has had other plans for my time lately so no updates. I have done work on the A100 but haven't sat in front of a 'puter for fun in a while. I'll post a proper update in the next few days. The one piece window templates are done and that is good...more later.

I love the music of the Black Keys and when the new album came out I jumped on it like a fat kid on a loose skittle. I wasn't in love with it until now. It didn't grab me by the back of the neck like the earlier stuff from them. Instead it slides through your brain until you need it.
