Blasted and painted the intake, valve cover and header. Sniper is mounted. Welded 02 bung, new remflex gasket and hardware. Fuel tank is ready to finish.
It's been a busy week, so I have one more small thing to add. I should have gotten some before pics, but the wiper motor cover was in bad shape! There were hunks of metal missing from the top edge and pin-holes too, but I addressed all of that with JB Weld for now. After a ton of sanding slowly, I think it looks pretty good. I used the JB Weld Steel Stick for the worst of it and then regular JB Weld as a skim coat for the pin holes. Here is the "Paint Drying" finished product with some Cruiser Corps 621 Rustic Green rattle can: Better than it was... I've got a new City Racer gasket to put on that bad boy once it is dry!
Filled it with fuel, checked the oil, a quick look over of the coolant hoses and headed to a job site. Doing a little remodel today and decided to stretch the 40 legs. Arriving at the job site I decided a little Showroom parking was in order. So I backed her into the drive so all the neighbors can ogle at her all day. Snap a pic so Mud knows it really happed and now inside to do a little carpentry today.
Booted the wife’s car outside for a few days so I can park the cruiser in there and clean my shop. She doesn’t think it’s fair that her new car is outside while 2 cars that are each at least 52 years old get inside parking.
