I use extruded aluminum mostly , as long as it doesnt flex under the workload. I use a router almost everyday , either cnc controlled or human input.

clamp a straight edge to the work to run the router up against for cutting your 'troughs'. I may not be able to watch this , screaming at my monitor is not good for me.....

I like the long nose...D9 or 152.

We did that shaving with evolution harleys , the engine was designed around flat top pistons , 30 thou would get a full point of compression addded. Then the Boss came up with the idea of boring out the head slightly , just enough for about half the first ring landing to go up into the head , serious compression and power began to develop. Really cool stuff.

Thanks Bertyl ! Race bikes are the coolest , form and function over aesthetics to the point of being completely on the razors edge of performance. As this 1/9 Top Fuel Harley Hillclimber shows nicely:

Not you Ernie! , the new guys showing up ! lol!

Get those WIPS up !

Welcome. Did someone say FW 190...

I'm busier than ever. And now they want covid shields for the re-openings forthcoming. How fortunate to have 4 full sheets of plexi to offer my customers. The first job , i just quoted , I came in at half the other guy. Must be nice to have no conscience , lol , my customer and I agreed he was most likely trying to gouge. A business like mine , driven by me and surviving solely on my own personal production and sales , will always survive. As sales drop in one area or product , production and promotion of other areas goes forward. It has not and will never occur to me to take a handout form our government , it will ALL have to be paid back. We have zero to none as far as leadership goes in this country , Canadian citizens are revenue generation units to the country's politicians.

Lightly sand the resistant pieces , allowing an opening for the solutions to do the work. If you can find Simple Green that works too.

So; You make the cabinet. Lots of ways to do this.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ They make the cabinet. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ You buy a readily available cabinet.$$$ You procure a used cabinet and make it new again. I did this, searching social media sites and business supply warehose'. In the end 3 out my four came from mall offices , which may have a storehouse of left behind business furniture etc. The mall manager was quite happy to gain the space back for better things.$$

Looking over this threadand the work displayed has reminded me of a lot of the custom work I have done. Specifically the 'centering out' of components and the maximizing of colouring AND detailing. When I built this model of a post war bobber I emplyed the same diligence that was applied to building custom choppers in real time. Same thing as this thread is alluding to , just going beyond the coloring...

Late war FW's fall into this catagory. as Allied bombing concentrated on fighter factories.

The OBC dictates control , control at any cost . And as many of us here are 'cast off ' from that site , how the f do you think we would respond to anything to do with it ? If there ever WAS a more useless non-productive thread or posting that NEEDS DELETING , this is it!

No-one here said they were happy.

Because the OBC will ALWAYS opt for a 'level playing field' ie: One that isnt reciprocal.

Nail polish remover works for the chrome removal as well. And in trying all of the available chrome removers , I found that some times the plastic weakened with too much time in the soutuons. Good start!

lol i pushed the limits here for a while there a month or so ago , intentionally , not to push buttons but see the level of tolerance admin has here admin and i sent a few mess backnforth all cordial i like that we can say stuff and push it a bit without the holier than thou , condecending , and misleading antics of admin coming down like the proverbial axe of death. lol i like it here lol my comment was pretty benign lol dont want this guy on my back; lol

lol arbitrary and complete dismissal whodathunkit?!

Into the Peterbuilt facility in Langley , B.C. at 2 am freehand layout and taping off of these flames on this wrecker . One of my best customers and a job I am proud of.

One is just a decal set , only 4 kit types available. A quick look on ebay reveals all things Gotha climbing readily in price.

$850.00 CDN for this kit !? The Herd can sure be counted on to show the lack of progress in humanity. The OBC , firmly in the drivers seat, is poised to make trillions in the coming months. Am I starting to see the end game...? Not much to report on A Gotha I've actually seen a surge in sales lately.

The rarest of the rare: The only one tougher to find is the cast metal Britten.

No way , mang! Looking at that bird MAKES me wanna dive bomb something!

Bertyl can I send you my Gotha props for this treatment!!!!!!!!!!
