Installed...

As promised...

Sort of makes me want to build my own bike...

On to the next project...

I was able to finish up the tank last night for the BSA.  I'll try and get several pictures when I fit it to the bike.

Hmmm, what should I work on next?  Maybe it's time to start working on the 235 valve cover again...

email...

I received an email last night in response to the "Flaked" post yesterday.....


Dave,

But now you're a dick with a purple helmet!  I couldn't resist. 

She'll live (unless she trips and hits her head!) Sorry, again, I couldn't resist. 

Awesome...thanks Todd.  I like my purple helmet.

Yet, some more BSA progress...

Finally was able to finish up the filler neck.  I probably have more work in just the neck than I do in he rest of the tank.  I had to make a die to press the shape under the neck.  It took a couple of tries and some fine tuning with a grinder, but it didn't turn out too bad.  Originally, I tried to hammer the it out, but it turned into a mess....quickly.

flaked...

I stopped at a garage sale over the weekend and had to have this.  The lady's 6 year old daughter was wearing it and I kinda felt bad when she made her take it off to sell to me.  The poor little girl was on the verge of tears....I'm such a dick.

'50 buick more door...

A customer drop this beauty off at the shop over the weekend to have an engine installed.  For as big as this car is, they sure didn't leave much room in the engine bay. 

The customer wanted the standard 350/350 install as this is going to be his daily driver.  We made some fairly straight forward engine mounts, had to notch out for the mechanical fuel pump and for the harmonic balancer, modify the original tranny cross member and cut a drive-shaft.  Not too bad for a couple days worth of work.

BSA progress...

I was having a very difficult time trying to find a filler neck for this BSA gas tank.  Finally, I figured that I was just going to have to make one myself...
