Really tired of rust repair, so doing some fun detours along the way.
 Found a ø60mm vdo gauge from a boat, and made the dashboard mount. Gauge still needs new face and black trim.. Also bought a 70s Heuer clubmaster stopwatch, really cool looking with the green/red/black anodized buttons. Made a mount for this one too. cleaned up and added blue paint on the defroster panel.  Since the stopwatch is pretty far away from the driver I thought I make a mechanism to operate it from driver pos. Lots of small parts.  Working mechanism, pres to start, press a little harder to stop. (note the 10.9 bolts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) )  Lever had to be red. Probably never going to use this set up, but looks kind of cool I think. |

As its close to the weekend, here are some pictures of some more rust (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) .
This is from a while back luckily. Internal structure of the roll bar was in really bad shape. Not uncommon I think..  Not much left of the original structure.  Cardboard repair panel (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)  Extencive area was damaged.  Tool for inner structure.  In place.  Tooling for outer (inner structure).   In place. Wishing everyone a nice weekend!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) You will be disappointed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . They will be boringly original.. But of course there vere some rust (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)   One more suspicious hole.  |

Fuchs Friday.
bought some 8x15 fuchs wheels some time ago. They were painted and had some pitting, but otherwice guite nice. I got them stripped and powder painted in the same finish as the rear 9x15 minilites. They were not possible to restore "properly" with anodized surface bechause of the pitting. I did the black detailing myself.  Started doing the masking by hand, but was not sucessfull (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) , so I made a part I could draw a help line with.  Line  Then I used thin masking tape and followed the line.  And some more masking..  And painted with 2K satin black.  Exciting moment  Glad it was only two though.  The rear Minilites |

The definitive highlight this Christmas was first shot at the sandcasting of the GT oil thermostate housing. There was a little bit of sinking around the mounting ear, but we will sort this out next run.
 Melting the snow outside my very skilled casting connections garage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)  casting pre meachining  Other side of part with sunken area. Machining plans on the paper under the part Have a nice weekend (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Back Yard Project...I think few are sand casting parts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Most definitely next level here. I'm sure the next questions will be are you willing to produce more of those. Love it, you are rocking it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |
