Hotter than welding slag?

Your welds look good to me (what do I know? For me bondo is part of the welding process.) Nice solution to your problem.

Bondo , we dont have fancy products like that here chewing gum would be the closest...The poor greeks a lil behind in time...
 
Re: ▀▄▀▄▀▄█▓▒░ '67' ░▒▓█▄▀▄▀▄▀

Just curious.. are you going to have to weld in a bracket between the lower fork legs to stabilize them to turn correctly with the neck? or will the wheel hold everything right? I have several sets and always wanted to try what you're doing. Looking good!!

Makes sense. They should work. But if not.. strap on your wings so you can keep flying past the bars! :wink: :D

Man those baby blue skirts are sweet!!!

Looks like it's getting to be assembly time. Now is when the fun starts. I like the way this build is going!!!
 
Re: ▀▄▀▄▀▄█▓▒░ '67' ░▒▓█▄▀▄▀▄▀

Yesterday felt like 2 steps back,one step forward...Had to re-weld light bracket,stand bracket,as well as repaint and fix seat...A over zealous kid tightening bolts,can make double work... :(

Worked on headbadge...

Here are the insides...

Looks like I will be finished in time....
 
Re: ▀▄▀▄▀▄█▓▒░ '67' ░▒▓█▄▀▄▀▄▀

With the tank on, the bike looks muscular and more intersting. The fat thick bricks add to that look too! Nice!
 
Re: ▀▄▀▄▀▄█▓▒░ '67' ░▒▓█▄▀▄▀▄▀

Looking good!Really like the headbadge.
