Project Stoopid!

[Master Hack]

So the bike had two radiators?

No, there are parts from the first bike, including another (smashed) radiator. Neither one was suitable for this project.

Workefd on laying out where the instrument panel goes and a nice spot to hang a steering column.

 

[Denny]

That is a nice spot. But aren’t you worried about those gauges getting wet and crumbling? They don’t look very accurate either.

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

I bet those gauges say Radiator on the other side

 

[Master Hack]

I left the big orange CHECK ENGINE light out of the mockup instrument panel
cuz I don't have a orange marker.

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Check engine? Yup is in the back.

If ya ever wondered how the professionals get that cool swirlly finish on aluminum, you ain't gonna find out wasting time here.
Here is my pathetic attempt at it.

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Smaller brush and make evenly spaced spots.

[Master Hack]

Wooden dowel can make smaller detail too

 

[Master Hack]

Smaller brush

It takes a brush with bristles in the center?

 

[Whitetrashrocker]

Wood dowel
Pencil eraser.
Anything abrasive.

Your brushed aluminum tactic looks good. Im just instigating.

Its all good. Gets the conversation started.
Not bad for a first attempt, done with whatever l had on hand. Its a learning project and the result is more than good enough for the purpose.
Gotta love a good junk pile.

You need to use valve lapping compound too.

Reminds me of The Munsters episode where Herman is trying to buy a car for Marilyn and he's looking at a Beetle...

Fair Deal Dan: Hey, friend.
Herman: Just checking the carburetor.
Fair Deal Dan: Then you'll be interested in this end, over here.
[Herman exclaiming] The owner must've been a woman... she left her sewing machine in the trunk.
