PROJECT TETANUS

[rodent]

Picked up my bar from the chromers, nice but not perfect. I can live with that given that the chrome of that era was pretty sh*t
Just now ordering fork stanchions, seat foam and some other bits from Cruzinimage.

Blasted my gauge tins and seat back to bare metal today to re-attempt shading the suckers Black

Applied 2 coats of Epoxy primer and 3 coats of primer-filler, hopefully blow some black over them next weekend

I have a seat cover and foam on the way, just gotta sort a stainless strip and some ali rivets.

We're going into Stasi lockdown here in the Melbourne metro due to the Virus running wild, I've got my fingers crossed that I might still have a job this week and in weeks to come

Thanks for the updates, pretty sure mine will follow a similar path when it arrives
who are you getting to do the crank (i am assuming your Melbourne AU)

I was going to get it done by a fellow in the UK, but he stopped responding to my emails. I don't have anyone locked in yet as the Virus has put a kibosh on travel in Victoria

Do you have someone lined up for your crank?

And I thought it was us "Poms" that are supposed to be "Whinging." I suggest you find a suitable forum in Oz if you're not happy with ours, one where angry people are tolerated by the local "clique," not click.

No anger here

Probably should do the intro, was sort of waiting for the bike to turn up and include a pic etc
quick search gave a promising result in Melb with C&C in Thomastown, but also going to check with a few mates who have been into the Waterbottles for years for there thoughts

Gonna paint some more tomorrow, seat base is mostly ready and gauge tins just need a guide coat rubbing off.

If I have a failure like last week they'll be getting farmed out Not even sure why I'm doing this as I despise painting(mostly because I'm impatient and just sh*t at it)

[rodent]

On a good note, here's a pic of the next carb I'm putting on my Nova later in the year. Hopefully it's better than the last one
