    i took my clutch cover and stator covers to my local locksmith/engraver @ the local shopping centre ,the poor bugger has never engraved anything like it ,so he did it all for $30 just he could say yes ive dont it .
    on the right side ive got my 3 x billylids "kids" and on the stator cover my wifs name with the ball n chain and her nickname.then i re cleared them to seal it in .

    and the fun starts all over !! again !!
    the frame and subframe has been etched primmed and 2 x coats of white 2 k high fill primer, @ this stage ive got just 1 month to have done for the ASF 2012 NFR.
    so hight time to pick up top gear and get going.
    here im sanding the high fill back with 800 grit wet n dry with warm water and dish washing liquid, i do this for a few reasons,
    a- warm for my hands
    b- cleans the oils from skin
    c- makes preping easyer.

    well i started to sand back the clear coat to prep for buffing.
    well to be hounest i applied 6 coats o clear for a deep lustre and i didnt like the finish i had done s o i started to sand back to redo finish and whilst cutting it back i was chatting to big KEV @ VCM cycle seats and was runnignsome styles by him and kev and i brainstormed on ol school pinstripping, i remembered chatting to a fellow memebr "weaselman" and he told me about his mate VON DAZ in sydney and set up a day to goto get the pinstripping done.
    so i had 4 days to sand,prep,basecoat and clear and then sand back top coat o clear for the stripping to adhere to , at this point i had a vision of two styles of paint and body work inwhich will be evident at a later date so sit back relax and enjoy the following pics.

    anyway upon the return trip home most of us stopped at goulburn for a feed and whilst i was chatting about how turbos are comming back , a top bloke from ASF "SEN" challanged me to put 2 x turbos ,well accepted mate .


    not being happy with anything i snapped up a KTM RC8 tail from big kev.



    as far as im concerend loud pipes saves lives and even tho ive got a set of gianellis on her its just to dammed quiet!!
    so out came the grinder and of they go ,well i am putting twin turbos on and they will dump out the side so no need to clutter the rear huh!
    any way step 1 prep the food !! um er the pipes ,yes the pipes hehehe.

    step 2 -shake !!

    step 3 and bake.

    sometimes to you just need to use wat ever you can get to do a little bend.





    the way im attaching the glass is via "dzus clip " made by moto ,they are the better design and use by many top level speedway teams ,there are cheaper ones but these dont vibrate loose or corrode, the one thing i dont like about them is the alloy fastner rubs the glass so ive used plastic sump plug washers to space out and protect the glass.


    ahhh red bull gives me wings yayyyyy that and shit loads of coffee hehehe ,um hang on !
    the buety of running a workshop is unlimited access at night and to use of said shop.


    soo pissed at my self even with a good mig i still cocked up some of my welds farrrrkkk.
