Old Buck's Project "Mini Me"

[oldbuck40]

ok! the brown truck just came and dropped off these stainless hinges???? i think i can order some more and use one on the back for the latch deal,,,they do make a user friendly pin that has a thumb button release to pull the pin and raise the hatch.

Went and picked up the fuel tank from JJ Beaver last night! :smile15: :smile15: :smile15:

just checked it, and it came out right at 8 gal.  that will work out good being i have to mix this gas and its one bottle of oil to 6 gal of gas

keeps looking better and better  :smile15:

Come out pretty good. :grin:

 

[oldbuck40]

Come out pretty good. :grin:

i thought so to! :grin:

guess i better go drain the water out of it so it can be drying in the nice cool sunlight :smile23: :smile23: :smile23:  probably wont take half hour either,,,,i think they said 103 today

Kenny the metal is smooth enough to polish,,i might take that power ball and give it a once over and then spray clear over it.  i doubt it will turn yellow being it will have the engine hatch over it and no sun.

Now dip it
Into shape
Shape it up
Get straight
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to detect it
Its not too late
To dip it
dip it good

Powder coat it and be done with it .Then just wipe it down and it will look like new again .

That what I did to the scoop that George made for me , it still look as good as the day they powder coated it .

 

[sturat]

or anodize it like i did my scoop

Don't lie, you left it blurry so noone could see the faces & the roses engraved in the center.


Haha, seriously, it looks good on there! And talk about a fast turn-around too.  :shocked:

Turn Key Garry! :smile15: i went to the shop this weekend and finished tying all the loose ends up under the dash and finished putting the loom on all the wires where the engine is.

Note to self:::  SELF next time you mount a trim pump try mounting it where you can easily get the fluid in that itty bitty hole! :smile23:  geeze! i finally got it though! only thing i had to do was swap out the lines to make it move right according to which button i pushed.
