Don't think I have been slackin off...
6 layers of 'glass on the seat pan, pulled the buck and trimmed the excess.
Even more time spend at the sand blasting cabinet, wire wheel then got these bits painted with the epoxy paint. Going by what I have already installed, granted I was carefull with the socket, this VHT chassis epoxy seems to hold up quite well.
I started something new to me. Years ago I got a "Ding-King" for Christmas, you know one of those "AS SEEN ON TV!" things.
I never believed it would perform the miracles they advertised so I just threw it under my work bench for about a decade. Well, this bikes tank has about 6 dents in it ranging from a half inch to the largest about 2 inches. I knew I was going to have to bondo it anyway so... what the heck. I dug out the old box and thought I'd give it a try.
Perforated Bovine IT WORKS!!! Slow and steady is the case here, each time the puller "pops", the dent is pulled out just a little bit more. The instructions say up to 10 pulls may be needed and that is about right.
When you use the hot glue gun to attach the pullers you have to wait for it to cool. Then twice, the first pull simply pulled the paint.
I rotated the bar around so as not to apply pressure in the same spots every time. After a couple hours I have 4 of the worst dents out to where you can barely see it in the reflection and feel it... but a few more hours and the tank should be in good shape.
Yesterday the Mailman brought my carb o-rings kit. AND I ordered my tires-n-tubes from Motorcycle-Superstore. Next week is going to be FUN! So in the mean time I keep working the scotch-bright on those wheels.
