Did the exact same thing [ATTACH]

Thinking about this. Maybe do the whole thing?
Day 2. Successfully cleaned and blasted header and tank. I straightened them out for the best after they moved a lot over the heat. I cut the core...
I had considered taking it up to get the job done. Hahah
Well I’ve successfully removed the side straps, lower mount, tank and header plate. All in good shape, kept the heat moving and was able to get...
Incredible setup. I may even build something similar, I used the large Vice and a couple pieces of form-ply. Seems to work.[ATTACH]
Not yet. I’ll get cracking this weekend!
Received all my 60/40 solder and flux. Let’s do this.
It’s crossed my mind several times to Nickel plate theses! Need a chroming sponsor haha
My thoughts too! That’s a bonus.
Thanks for all the help! I’m going to dig in this weekend and get it trimmed up. I’ll post some photos and video of either success of failure Haha

Lens are a cast from an original glass percolator lens- poly king does those for me!
I’ve thought about a Bennetts version. Something might be on the cards!
Slow progress on the roadster but chipping away. sand blasted the hubs and opened up the rear windows. Still need to either plug the front hub...
I’ll definitely sell some pieces

Well not a whole lot of progress over the past few weeks but good news is all the parts needed to finish off the car arrived. This is huge. Mean...
[ATTACH] Well, where too start. First off I certainly wish that this build was a daily upload and progress was faster- but we all know life...
Haha! Those aren’t copper but more trying to match the patina on my head lights- wanting to create some signal lenses
So, lots on the cards- roadster related not a ton. However I did get the read end finished and installed- but I need to play around with the rear...
Thank you sir!
