(Class 1 MBBO#4) Cycledelic - seat fabric lol

[Old Scool]

Already thinking of the color combination I want to use! Great job Carl!

 

[GuitarlCarl]

Shot just a bit of gold cobwebbing on it and some gloss then started the reassembly... still have some last minute seat fabbing to do. I also still have to fab a bracket for the "top secret"... there have been some hints and slips about the "top secret"... I wonder if anyone has a guess as to what it is?

Almost there.... it's a roller again!

FYI... 30 gallons of warm water, 3 cups of Borax. Testors model paints, unthinned. (next time it's Humbrol) Clumped a bit, stuck to the stick I tried to stir it with off camera. Decided to go for it no matter, this is the only day I had to do it. Turned out cool for not knowing what I was doing... Tank dripped a bit thru four layers of tarp! You can hear it on the video. Baled it out as soon as it was over, all good no mess.
Got more planned, a bit of cobweb style paint, and the flashy Color Effex clear to finish.

Merry Christmas to all! Peace and love.

I have read most threads on the site, spent weeks going through the archives when I first got here, I don't recall another example!

Haha! This isn't a first, but I haven't seen one for a while...
Here's my secret.

Got my seat base cut too, I gotta find something to cover it with...

Cool! Dip came out sweet on the bat. You dip a guitar body while you had the tank filled?

The side view, from a distance makes this thing looks like an apollo/dragstripper hybrid.

Bat was a double dip...
No guitar... no builds goin' right now...

Yeah, I was diggin' that when I was testing where I wanted it to sit.
Definitely makes me smile.

Punch List
Find vinyl, pad and wrap seat top.
Shoot good pictures, highlighting the details.
Ride video? Maybe. It do ride nice.
Plenty of time...

Carl.

 

[OddJob]

That ain't your grandpa's Louisville Slugger.....As far as seat goes, you have a few color options to work with there. Maybe something to contrast the green wrap? Looking good!

 

[GuitarlCarl]

WOOHOO! and LOL!

Ah...the old double dip. The dip deal looks like fun. Doesn't use nearly as much paint as I had assumed.

Love the seat!
