Xmas Treats

[sunnydog]

Second time writing this thread, frustrating to lose the whole fuckin thing with one button swipe...fackkkkk!!

Couple things folks might find interesting:

Decent inner primary from slarsonroy on Shovel US site


Coffin tank I found on chopcult, outta california, gonna "revise" a bit with the help of a tig welder friend...


Yeah Koot I think it's similar to the one you've got?

Repurposed a beat up FLH/FLT seat bracket for my solo saddle set up on the FLT....built a new fender bracket outta 1/8 x 3" flat steel, bent over a dolly mounted in my vice (damn that sounds bad), welded the rod to it...

[Dennman]

Noticed those repaired engine case mounting holes in slarsonroy's post.Wondered why there wasn't a reinforcing ring to fit in there and bolt through to the cases.Otherwise it looks very decent.
Nicely done on the seat bracket.
Coffin tank for the ------------???

[sunnydog]

I'm toying with the idea of using it on the big twin flathead project...you don't see coffin's around much and once Koot gets his rigid project done he said he may possibly run his coffin on there...would be really cool to see such tomfoolery in the valley, hearkening back to days of yore, and I dearly love body work and painting so its right up my alley.

[Dennman]

Ah yes! Forgot you had the Flattie project.Hard to keep up with the doins of you affluent trench ridin mofos!!

[ratman]

Wish I could see the pics of the seat bracket.  They started blocking photobucket at work last trip.....

I don't like to cry like a girl so I won't say workin oil patch what I paid in tax past year....    

And I was only home for 153 days, away for 212

[sunnydog]

Hey Paul good to hear from ya!! Here's hoping you get a holiday break....damn them bastards for blocking the bucket. Its prolly understandable that I'm heading out for weekend work as we speak...be safe out there everyone.

have a good day sunny!!

[sunnydog]

Workin on the coffin...
Started sanding old paint any holy shit what a nightmare, seems somebody rattlecanned it with extremely heavy coat of metallic paint...went with heat gun and spatula instead...at least their heavy paint job preserved the tank pretty well, looks good underneath.


Seems to work pretty good...gonna be alotta work to refinish this ol thing....prolly apply some thin body filler in places to smooth it out again, but I love this kinda stuff so lookin' forward to it.

[bromanguydude]

Looking good John. I've got some body filler in the shop if ya run out. I'm not painting a damn thing this winter.

[sunnydog]

No worries Jay, I'm not goin' Hambone on it or anything!!!!!!!

[bromanguydude]

Don't be scared. Enough bondo and you got yourself a sporty tank there.

[sunnydog]

Checking fitment after tunnel cut out...once Hambone tigs the altered tunnel in there it's gonna sit just the way I want...


Gonna slide it back about 3/4" - 1" from this, will have good clearance for steering


Sadie don't care...she'd rather have a sidecar

[Big Dave]

Looking good Sunny , Man that pup is growing fast

Merry Christmas to you and the Family
