a sneak peak..
I have had an old Light from a Miners
Helmet kickin around my Antique stuff for years..
I drilled out the Mount hole a bit bigger..
and I will throw a nut on the inside to hold it.
I may try to do a LED Conversion if I find a
small enough Flash Light to fit in the way I want.

The headbadge and tank I quickly scotched taped it on
to see what it will look like...
I'm going to get the tank finished this week..I hope!
I am swamped at work...and swamped is good...gotta make hay
when the Sun Shines so to speak.

I can almost taste it..the end is coming near...
.... I'm gonna hit The Skate Park and Drop this bad boy in
the bowls! :lol: :lol:

Adds a new meaning to " bit the bullet " :lol:

Simply amazing!!!! Every detail was thought of. This was also very well documented. As for the skate park, I think you will garner enough attention without dropping in.

 

[Clothespin n]

wow...over 3000 hits on my post here!

that's just about as many hits as my Older Brother dealt
me when I was a kid! :shock: :x

 

[Hooch]

and if he was competing against ya in this build off I am sure he would hit ya 3000 more times! lol

I worked on my Shifter handle tonight with dinner
goin in the background..
I dug through my Antiques again and found an Old
door handle set up I had....I remember my Dad tellin me as a kid he used to use em for shifter knobs on his Hot Rods so....
thanks Dad..

I polished the base up....

I secured the shaft to my shifter..alla Tie Wire..and
wrapped a role of black tape around it..it is as solid as a rock.
and like all self respecting Canadian Boys..I spun some grip
"Hockey Stick Style"
I will prolly finish it with a few more wraps in Flat Black fabric
Stick Tape...

gotta get rid of the shiny black tape for sure!

thanks Markm..

and Hooch..I want your shifter set up to work out...!
I think it's a wicked idea!

 

[Hooch]

me too!

 

[Clothespin n]

that glossy tape was killin me..
grabbed some stick tape from my Hockey bag...

gotta give the grip a few good squeeze's so it all sits right
..it looks a bit cockie now..it will settle down with a few grabs.
The Flat Black tape looks a bit more like header tape now....

haha

DUDE! THATS BRILLIANT!!.. I Need that knob for ma bedroom lol i took mine off when i was like 4 and lost peices... lol Nice job man its lookin good!

 

[Clothespin n]

Thanks Rickster..

I re-worked the Tape..it looked all funky and off balance...
and i spun the Shifter cable so it ties it all in.
I'm after that "header Tape" look...this is better I think...

You are winning the creativity award for sure.

Does that shifter do the job well?

Keep the ideas coming!

it works great....and it has a nice feel as far as position and
hand placement goes.

thanks Rat Rod for the feedback,
Kev.
