Well I have bit the bullet sold the fron Weltmeister 22mm bar, and picked up a Nascar Hand me down.
As of today all the parts are in except the bearings, I will have them tomorrow, TSC (Tractor Supply Company) has the parts I need. I liked smart racings graphs so much I had to make my own.

Ross Perot, would be proud of me. Attached image(s) |

Went back out after helping my son figure out his spelling home work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) As I have proven here more than once I can't F'in spell.
Well it was not as bad as I thought originally, I did warp the fender a little more, it had a big dent by the light anyway, so that needs to be taken car of. I burnt through one spot, and I welded my bolt to my reinforcement plate. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) That was brilliant. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) A little grinding, and some seam sealer will fix part of it. I will fix the burn through with a grind and fill, and the fender, well, I guess I need to shrink it, and see if I can get the dent down to a manageable size, it is about 1/4" down right now, want it to be about 1/16ths. I hates bondo!!! A little can be just fine, a lot and I might as well add an anchor to this car. I tend to use JB Weld anyway, don't laugh, it is used for smoothing airframe skins, actually works really well. I had a old body shop guy show me that one. Hopefully get back on it Tuesday night. |
