And if it doesn't have three seats, where's Tman going to sit with the beer

 Got the carcass onto the back of the truck...



You may also notice those short pieces of exhaust....for the last five years they have remained captive in that rear bulkhead. I think it is just because they annoyed the Colonel so much that I was disinclined to change it......today I cut the bulkhead so they can be removed.......now they can be covered in that shiney sh1t while the rest of the frame is to be blasted....a lot of the frame still had mill scale on it so the paint will stick a lot better this time around, as I said earlier I was surprised how little rust there was.



ps: that silver car in the background is where the car that ran into me and broke my leg came from.....I was on the other side of the road traveling away, I ended up on the verge just before that pile of garden clippings after a brief aerobatic display.

You need to cover all the holes in the diff to limit the garnet ingress

You could use your new tie  (died) dyed moleskins Goggs, to plug the holes

best thing you've ever pit me on to.
Benno.

Thanks for thinking of me!

Duct tape works well to cover things you dont want blasted.

It might be a bit late, because , hopefully, Goggs is in his truck on the way to the Blast Factory as I write this
I find Nashua Gaffer the best thin for sandblasting, and i buy my Gaffer Tape from the sandblaster.
He is generally cheaper than the music shops

Once you've used gaff tape, you'll never want to even look at a roll of duct tape.
Leaves no sticky mess - especially if it sits in the hot sun and the adhesive gets soft.

3-M is about $20.00 a roll here - and worth every penny.

No, not today, I'll go to the blast factory tomorrow....

Now, we have eveything on this here build diary, cocktail recipes, music suggestions, food prep suggestions and now???laundry tips.

Last week I had a young bloke drop the bottom end of a CBR250RR at my place for my good friend Tiny ( generatorshovel)...I'm standing next to his car holding the motor which is wrapped in bubblewrap..." do you want to put that down?" he said......... "yeah I guess so" it wasn't very heavy but I took it over to the front door anyway........just as I put it down I noticed that it had been full of oil and there was about a litre of it down my leg( that's 35 fl oz Tortoise)....I was wearing light colored "moleskins"......hmmm.

Soaked them in shellite, covered the oil in Wurth hand cleaner . two scoops of detergent and then 60 degrees.......came out spotless, phew.

In the car, couple of weeks back going to a funeral, she's got a black skirt on I pass her the street directory which has the cover stuck together with white gaffa......the adhesive comes off the Gaffa and sticks to the skirt, to say the atmospherewas heavy at that point would be an understatement.............(various items of evidence have been omitted here to protect the innocent) after several non-starters she asks me to get some blu-tac.......dabbing the adhesive it comes off completely,Genius!!!!!!!!!! Pheeeeeeee-eeeeeeew.

Ok. I'm mildly curious. How many moles does it take to make a pair of trousers?  Wayno
