shiny round stuff?


We got a big ol box of chrome plating from our buddy Pat today. There were a lot of parts for a 65 that we are doing in there as well as some knucklehead parts. Check out how the area by the pivot is un polished, this looks so cool it is just like the og levers!


Here is the dash for a 38 that we are working on. Check out how the lip that sits on the tank is wider that an early 38 or 36 and 37.



Here is a pic of all of the shiny stuff!




Jesse spent the day radiusing new studs for cases. The beauty is in the details that nobody seems to notice lol.

fin repair


Here is a front head for one of the motors that we are doing in this batch. It is a really nice head, all five tabs have never been broken, the insert doesn't leak, and the exhaust port has never been cracked. However there are some fins missing. uh oh.


Here are the fins that I made up. When I first started to do fin repair, I would make each one fit perfectly. This did not work well all of the time.



Here you can see that the new fins are a little taller and longer than the intact original fins. I do this on purpose, so that after a little bit of grinding everything lines up and be parallel and perpendicular.





Holy Moly that is a nice repair.
