Magnificent 7

Well didn't get too much accomplished tonight!
I have a whole new respect for air grinders. My disc came apart and was instant schrapnel!
Hit me in the ribs and the other part flew the opposite way and cut my air hose in half. Dang, had to lift my shirt up and thought it cut me but not. That left a mark!
So maybe quit while I'm a head and go up and sit on new furniture! Ha! That comes Tuesday and that blows that night. Have to help arrange it 50 x!
Like the Red Green show! Might not be handsome any more but sure am handy!

Tippy out!

You didn't scratch any of the bikes did ya?

See, you are good for more than just spending your wife's money.

If you were as handy as Red Green, those machines you're building would be held together with duct tape.

Luckily, no scratches. That disc nailed me in the ribs good! Think better look into something lil better than safety glasses, cause that disc probably, would of went through them.

Yeah, like those Old Red Green shows. I think the original ones were lil funnier? Maybe they were told to tone them down some? Duct tape stuff was pretty funny!

Well, got to give Mrs credit cause she is good with letting me restore stuff.

She has seen muscle cars, jeeps, blazers, etc... that were cut up and nothing but shells, then welded all back together.

Here is a blazer my son and I did together before he turned 16. Basically, we cut it all way down to two doors and the firewall. The more we cut the worse it got. This is pic right after we painted it. All new metal (Fenders, doors, quarter panels, rockers, whole floor,etc.... and we made the front/rear bumpers from scratch out of 4 inch well casing. Then we later put graphics on the sides but can't find the pic!

She saw these bikes when I brought them in one by one and prob thought? Oh gees! What did you drag in now?

She comes back from time to time and now comments on how nice they look.

Prob comes back to see if I'm still alive! So, I must not forget to let her get her stuff too!

She all excited bout her new furniture.

Here this will give you the creeps!

So when I took rims to Indy. I have satellite radio in truck.

They played several times that day: First Aid Kit, song Stay Gold.

Come to find out after downloaded song, they are from Sweden.

Humm? Makes you think? Was someone telling me something?

that little grinder incident is known as a wake up call....protect your self from high speed spinning things that can go bang...cos they will

YUP, seen grinding, cutting, sanding discs disintegrate & caught pieces as well. Scary when it happens. It makes parts flying out of the grinder or polish wheels & shooting across the garage seem mild.

Yeah, wake up call for sure! That was close! Stopped and got good face shield plus going to use safety glasses under that.
I have had enough metal stick in my eyes that snuck under safety glasses.

Here is some progress! Think it's shaping up?

Ah, got to get air hose replaced tonight, so lil maint!

But you guys wait cause this gonna be heck of bike. I just can't get things done fast enough. But think you guys will like this one!

I don't doubt it.

I also have a mod I think I can pull off to get the vents back in the gas caps for the over flow vent hose.
I bought two cheap gas caps to work out my plan.
Hope weather cooperates over Christmas to New Years. Want to get paint job blown on this tank. Then things will start coming together!
Got the engine scheme figured out, shocks, swing arm, brake, shifter and hubs.

Is that the wood stove I smell or your brain smoking? Must be your brain....I hear the cogs turning.

One of the last, of the great air cooled Husky's

I like the part where mechanic says he got a piece from here and piece from there. That's the truth!

Then at the end, say: when do we go for a ride.

Just lil humor:

Oh they are a turning. But also have extra stuff if ever guy wants to put it back to stock!
She should turn out pretty good!

Looking for this bike to exceed my 08 Husky I built few years ago.

The cool factor will be higher for sure.

New Mad Max movie coming out in 2015!

Here is the trailer! Pretty cool!

Ok, got my vinyl gas tank stencils this am! So Sunday, looks like temps going to be 40 degrees and no rain!

So looks like I'm going to blow that paint job on the gas tank!

Tank done!

All I can say is: That was 8 hours of work yesterday!

But I not showing you top of tank right now till I am done!

Got one more lil thing to do!

Here is the new brake lever in its cut out stage.

Pivot part is getting machine by friend of mine, with new brake stay.

The design of the tank is taking from the old design and updating it more modern.

The Husky logo represents the end of a handle bar grip. The yellow represents your arm and hand, as it is on the grip.

So that is the meaning behind it.

Took me forever to bring that yellow forward past the Husky logo. Bet I layed that thing out 50 times.

I had it come down to a point, then rounded to go with logo.

To top it all off! Decal guy cut my vinyl in reverse, then the paint guy gave me wrong type of yellow paint. He gave me single stage urethane instead of base coat. So had to do blue, then white, mask whole tank, then shoot yellow, then clear.
