Welcome. The "Bad Luck" picture is depressing but the pan is looking good now. Keep the pix coming.

I'm spending to much time detailing as much as i can but i'm skiping pictures to the most interesting.I've used special primer and colour for the pan.

Can't wait to see more pics :-) |
one of the worst times of my life.Althought the insident gave me the oportunity to do all the work i'm doing now.And now the body:
http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/1599/dsc00098tf.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/7492/dsc00110vq.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 I took the body to a friend of a friend who owns a body shop to measure everything and do the job as a profesional knows,but no one can do the work better than yourself.The measurment was right but the welding was :angry: So back to work to do better everything the profesional couldn't.(or didn't want to). And some aerodynamic tuning: http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/9611/hpim1905r.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/637/dsc00192ue.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/7909/hpim1911m.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/8024/dsc00201uhe.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/8232/hpim2088r.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 I also gave 6cm extra to my rear fenders.I'm using 1303 rear fenders and 65' front. http://img718.imageshack.us/img718/2861/hpim1903o.jpg By ace_bug at 2012-03-12 |
Interesting mods, I like the front fender vents a lot, keep up the great work.

Modifying the stock pedal cluster is a cool idea. Looks good.
http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/9504/hpim2010.jpg |
I MUST have more information about the pedals!! What gauge metal is that? What else, if anything, did you do to stiffen them?
|
The metal is 1mm steel.I made them with wood first and then cut the steel.Ibent them a litlle and weld some metal from behind for strength.I will use a roller pedal for the acceleration.
